Two good coaches and two fine programs. I want this to end in a tie or be called for rain.

[oldmanvb]

lets hope last night was Illini's sloppy effort for the weekend and they come out firing this afternoon.

Unclear why I keep doing this to myself, but...

Let’s going Fighting Illini

About an hour away from this late afternoon match!

[bruinsgold]

Really hoping, after having to go 5 sets with Rutgers, Illinois has the energy to compete in this one. It's such a quick turnaround!

One thing is for sure -- Brown needs to continue to feed Kennedy, get Cooney going unlike last night, and figure out a way to use Rainey out of the back row more.

Illnois' service game was 🔥 last night so I hope they bring that back to keep the ball away from Hord.

It odd that this match is so early on a Saturday.  Like why?
