The Deuce: You’ve got to live with it.

With Boswell, he’s seemingly improved around the rim. That’s vital. Because that kid can get downhill and into the lane in a hurry. If with him I had to choose between his making layups and 3s, give me layups.

4-27 from three in his last 6 games, which combined with last year makes you question if he can get it back. But we know he’s a good shooter from his first two years at Arizona.

Big game.

For those that did not see, Tennessee lost in a close game at Syracuse this week for the SEC/ACC challenge.

Tennessee is 7-2 on the season (ranked 21 in the NET) with a 1-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. Their big win was a close win against Houston, and their two losses were relatively close games against Kansas and Syracuse.

Illinois is 6-2 on the season (ranked 26 in the NET) with an 0-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. We shall not relive those.

We've had a full week of practice. We got embarrassed against UConn. Hoping we are up for this game, as we have @OSU looming next week....this TN game is the 2nd of a 3 game Quad 1 slate. And MAN it would be good to get a win in this series.

Tennessee is good, favored by 2.5, and just got embarrassed against Syracuse. The game is in Nashville, so will obviously be a semi-home game for them.

Thoughts? Expectations? Keys to the game? Vibes?
