There is undoubtedly nothing more surprising this season than how amazing Giorgi had been. He would be exceeding expectations if he had been ranked 50th. Unreal.

When Giorgi goes to left in the post, it looks like he's Nerf hooping in his bedroom

This lineup has done a good job at finally slowing down Rutgers.

Lower back?

Gotta wonder if all the minutes Trent sat made him hesitate on that last 3. That look had to go up.

His face in a teardrop

Pretty much getting what was expected from Ayo....and even though I, unlike most, was intrigued and hopeful that Giorgi could become a plus player....even this year....his performance was not predicted from anyone...and most of all Underwood and staff.

Yup, he's a killer. [Also glad you don't know where I live … lol]

 

[GoIllini23]

Need some stops

 

[80sGoodCheer]

It's all Nerf hoop now …

 

[ejam21]

dang, gotta make fts

 

[GoIllini23]

Refs are getting worse by the second

 

[skyIdub]

Hold me

 

[ejam21]

GB is out of this world offensively. His HS coach should be fired LOL

 

[skyIdub]

Last Illini freshman big to completely take over a game..........go.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Giorgi with 27 and 6 boards. Best stat is no shots over 6 ft. that I have seen. I will take 30 shot attempts a game from him if he keeps them at that range.

Is it wrong to have a man crush on GB?

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Maybe we should continue to get the ball inside to Giorgi

Gotta be Brian Cook

 

[bombayIllini]

Not many TOs today. I had hoped for nearly twice as many.

 

[westvilleillini]

Georgian flag.

But with Giorgi on the horse

It's wrong not to.

Truly a great game to watch between two young and talented teams.
