Giorgi from Georgia (the country, not the state) loves basketball.

The @IlliniMBB freshman also loves candy before bed and dancing like no one's watching.

"I like sweet stuff, I get a snack before I go to sleep, it puts me in a good mood, I have a good dream after that, and then I wake up in a good mood so I have another good day."

We love Giorgi. https://t.co/qFKgLzpV2E

#Illini up to No. 83 in KenPom ratings after blowout win over Minnesota.

For what it's worth, only two teams with double-digit losses are in the KenPom top-150: Penn State (65) and Illinois (83).
