Illinois’ best play player Ayo Dosunmu playing tonight
He had previously sat out the last 2 games after his nose was broken against Michigan State. I’m glad he’s playing because I want to beat them in full strength so that the Illini can’t make any excuses
Win the game
Not sure that's the most credible source....
Fair. Didn’t realize he’s just barstool sports guy. Thought he was an official Illinois reporter. I will update when official word comes out from a better source
were there any good pizza suggestions?
asking for a friend.
Yup, most likely just guessing knowing that there is a pretty good chance that he plays tonight. This is not news.
What does Sir Yacht say?
"Ramming speed!"
Dosunmu on the court at Crisler for today's Illini shootaround/walkthrough.
Can't really see his face. So... inconclusive. It's like those old timey photos of the loch ness monster. I need about $tree fiddy$
Ayo on the left with the black mask. Doesn't mean he will play, though.
Right, even if unavailable you’d still want the guy to get some work in whenever possible in a non-contact situation
He’s playing! No doubt about it.
And our team would only want to play their best!
So let’s get ready for a great game!
Great point. This post certainly didn't age well.
Sigh.. can’t edit title. Extra “play” in there
He’s their best play player. Makes the best plays.
Left off the a - the playa player. -Snoop.
Nope, not editing it---your "punishment" for posting a forbidden source (bartoilet).
TBH, until I saw others pointing out who this Mush guy works for, I didn't know either.
But clicking on his Twitter name does reveal that one awful truth, so please, everyone, don't repost any more "Mush".
Hit him right in the Schnoz!
How could he be fitted for a mask "tonight" at 11:30 a.m.?
The mask is for tonight.
Yeah, I got that. Just poking fun at his incorrect grammar.
Totally expected.
Agree. I always took their coach’s comments this week as a way to have Michigan let its guard down. The coaching version of a little rope-a-dope. I fully expect the Illini to come out fired up and play like this is the league championship ... for about a half before our efficiency on both ends demoralizes them.
Figured. Line just moved from UM -8 to -6.5
People understand that the line moving doesn't necessarily mean anything, right? Could easily be because bets are coming in due to this news or completely unrelated to this news. It doesn't necessarily mean that Vegas knows something we don't
I get what you’re saying, but I happened to notice the line moved over a short period of time. Could be a number of reasons that money went that way, but I take the stance that Vegas *always* knows something I don’t.
Not to mention the guy that tweeted this out works for a company that has a sportsbook
Vegas always knows something before others do. Always.
Son of a bitch! How the hell did you get Oklahoma-Michigan? Nobody ever had Oklahoma-Michigan!! How the hell'd you do it?!?!
-Remo
As of 221PST, line back up to -8, -320/+280. Maybe he’s not playing
Bring it on!
They didn't say what kind of mask. Hopefully something like this
Good. Best on best. Bring it.
Underwood has been hedging his bets all week just in case Ayo couldn't play. Now with Ayo in the lineup maybe he is regretting a little bit of his angry diatribe which certainly made its way back to Michigan.
No chance.
He might not be regretting it now but I bet he'll feel differently at about 7:01pm this evening.
Because we'll control the opening tip?
More than just the tip, my dude.
Hard or soft hedge?
Hard hedge for sure with that guy
Just FYI but this is some random Barstool fool who is by no means credible. He was early on reporting Ayo's initial injury so maybe he has a connection, but on the whole he is seen as a wholly uncredible source. So don't take this as fact.
I know I'm being sour, but the "best player" title is unnecessary for a 3-year starter and NPOY finalist. *shrugs*
Some of don’t follow hoops closely enough to know the NPOY finalists. So I appreciated the “best player” tag. *shrugs*
Definitely being sour. The only thing I know about the guy is that he is one of Illinois’ two best players (now informed that he’s their best), and that he was injured. Had no idea he was a three year starter or a NPOY finalist. So the additional info was appreciated.
Despite Barstool, I hope this is true. Illinois needs to be fully manned for this one... Underwood needs to regret his earlier drunken ramblings.
I don't do Twitter...is this guy his own source?
Shocked. Not shocked.
