Am I the only one that wants so badly for Williams to hit a few buckets so he can gain some confidence? I appreciate what he brings to the court more than most others. He deserves to be rewarded offensively. He does so many other things well.

How bout damonte???

 

[Miles Leonard]

No one bag on Damonte tonight. He saved our bacon in the final minute.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Some of y'all owe Damonte Williams flowers.

 

[foby]

Ugly wins are beautiful.

DMFW.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Damonte = MVP

 

[whatahack]

Oturu is the B1G POY for my money

 

[Calvin]

The streak continues....

 

[BananaShampoo]

We beat the spread! And that despite playing two teams, Minny and the refs!

 

[altgeld88]

Well done, boys. What I like the most is that they grind and someone different steps up each time to get it done. You're winning these sorts of games on Jan. 30, they've got to feel good about early March. ++++ Dre & DMW

 

[illini2002]

7 straight wins!!! STILL IN FIRST PLACE

 

[WeWillWhen]

Seven in a row!
Starting Sunday, things get REALLY interesting.

 

[bombayIllini]

D is GOLDEN

 

[PlayAZ]

DMW....Key plays, steals, blocks, rebounds...YEA no offense, but man we were lucky he played his role to a T the last couple minutes!!!

 

[illini80]

DeMonte f’in Williams!

 

[RedRiver24]

Man, W7.

Didn't see that happening for any B1G team this year.

 

[grantlab]

Don’t care if Damonte doesn’t score again as long as he keeps making defensive plays like that.

Lol. +100 cocktails to you, sir.

Wait until Garza on Sunday.

This is a rare good Illini team that can win ugly like we have been. In Henson's days, seems like we usually out talented them but occasionally stubbed our toes in an ugly game like this.

16-5 8-2 Wow this is awesome. tough road ahead. #DMFW

 

[Illini_Jack]

Amazing what a little defense and rebounding can do

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Could say a few things about “too close for comfort” or whatever, but I’ll just say this:

1) My Peoria guy with the big time plays!!!!

2) We are taking a 7-game winning streak into Iowa City. Can’t complain!
