Illinois 64, Michigan 62 POSTGAME

[jrmarcus]

Outrebounded, gave up more steals, blocks, turnovers, and fouls. The difference is Ayo and team defense. Held UM under 40% shooting and under 24% from three, with them jacking a bunch of threes.

I like Juwan Howard, though. I hope he finds success at UM, except against Illinois.

BEST performance I've seen out of Ayo as an Illini, and the worst for Kofi...

Sweep Michigan and Purdue. Beautiful

When that part of the year comes when elementary school teachers across the state of Illinois teach their students about the different cold-blooded animals that roam this earth, I think you gon have to include a few lessons about Ayo Dosunmu in that curriculum from here on out.

Nice FT shooting Wolverines............

 

[RedRiver24]

Man, Michigan will be kicking themselves for all those missed free throws. They win this game walking away with making 75 percent instead of 57.

Whatever! Ayo is absolutely cold blooded. The offense did end up just bleeding the clock and then Ayo does something. But with Damonte getting 31 MINUTES (he played well for what he does though) the offense isn't going to do much anyway.

I'm still unsure if Underwood can coach. We need to fire up the coaching search thread...

His scowling makes me feel inadequate. I need a safe space. And the imploring, panicked visage of Bruce Weber, which I miss terribly.

 

[illinitiger]

Michigan played about as well as they possibly could in this one. Only one turnover I think.

And the Illini still beat them.

I would say they were weak or we were lucky on their FT shooting at end. I'll take the win.

 

[altgeld88]

I'm pretty sure Underwood's car comes with the ventilated seats!

And a trailer that carries his cojones.

Second game in a row we stepped on an opponent. Too soon?

 

[IlliniTime]

My Oh M(Ayo).

[spillini]

can someone do us a favor and put Ayo’s face on this?

 

[clusterbuster75]

Under five mins I have total confidence in these guys to get it done.

I sure didn't... Missed free throws saved our !!!.

Ala - Nick Anderson at Indiana

Great shot today.

Not anywhere close to Nick's

 

[kiwanegarris22]

AY-L-L!!!!!!!

AY-N-Ay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

This team. ... First place by themselves. 6 in a row. 3 on the road in a loaded BIG. That was a desperate, hungry SCUM team, who played really well, and they went in to their house and ripped their hearts out.

Where are all the BU haters now?

 

[abqbball47]

Kofi and Georgi are no shows today, officiating was really un even during certain points of game, and missing Alan Griffith. Still we somehow managed to win. Alone for the day in 1st place and January is almost over. Truly impressive squad this year. Go Illini!!!!

 

[AttentionDeficit]

Get that man the new Cadillac Eldorado, the steak knives, and the coffee.

Michigan, you're fired!

 

[dgcrow]

How about that, sports fans?

Loved how big the missed free throws were by Der Smirkmeister.
