Thinking Frazier's issue is Alpha Dog related, he was used to having a free reign on 3 shots, running the play, has to share more with Ayo and Feliz. I do miss him taking over games, per Gonzaga.

Illinois 74, Northwestern 69 OT POSTGAME
Phew sorry fam.
It's always better to play nice.
I have an idea. Sit Williams, Kipper and ADLR!
I like BU. I too would of had the ball in Feliz's hands at the end. It don't matter who starts, it matters who you give it to with the season on the line.
I loved the huddle by BU with all his assistants during the last time out to figure out the right play to run. They ran the right play. Great call. Still went to OT for even more excitement...
It was funny when he said that but I think he was actually talking about the buzzer at the end of regulation.
I think you both agreed.

I totally respect your right to an opinion, but what is wrong with it? We are a bottom dweller. 20 years ago beating NW in overtime would not have been reason to break out the Dom. I love Georgi as I said, Ayo has talent but league talent not yet sorry but reality is he is not ready. AJ is why I love the college game. Trent is a very good college player and Feliz is the best guard on the team. Dispute all you want, but I think that is a very fair analysis of what we have. If we are so great why have we gone zone for the last 3 games? Reason BU realizes (finally) we cant win pressuring anybody. Let me ask you something? Were you Alive in 1989? That team pressured, this team is what it is REBUILDING! I said in the beginning I wanted to be respectful, I really enjoy watching them grow, but right now we are so far away from upper echelon it is not close. Say my post is wrong, but dispute it from facts not pure emotion of beating the worst team in the league? Love that they won really I do, but BU had a long way to go. I would start by playing more people so we can really do what it is he said he wants to do?

I don't. We've won a lot more games since he has been able to share the load, and I like winning games more that I like watching one outstanding player go bonkers in a losing effort.

Sure it was brutal, but it was really fun to be in the house to cheer Illinois onto victory in Chicago in March. The crowd was bumping at times. The clutch gene exists in these guys. Now we just need to develop a little consistency in year 2 and we are going places.

I really feel sorry for Damonte. He's under a tremendous amount of pressure, and if you look at his face during the games, he looks really, really frustrated... But I have confidence he'll be a better points contributor next year.

Ayo has a better shot of making the NBA. What you said is just not true but..... Giorgi was the best player on the court tonight though.
Trent and Ayo are both better guards. Ayo leads the team in pts and assists and is 2nd in steals and 3rd in rebounds. Frazier leads the team in steals, is second in pts and 2nd in assists, Feliz is awesome and brings something different but he is not the best guard on the team but......... He was great tonight.
So in a vacuum looking only at todays game your comments make sense. Over the course of the season I disagree.
Agreed just meant after 2 shots last game it seems something is up, also did you see the interview with BU, GB and Trent? He looked really tired or dead in the eyes to me.
If GB gets an outside shot he's in the league no doubt, remember he's a freshman.

BU subbed all 5 at that 4 minute break to give the guys a rest, and to calm them down a little. TU made a couple of bad moves for sure, but frankly several other players made a couple of bone-headed plays also... I think your being overly critical because he's the coaches son...
Nobody wants that. Just can't win with him taking a couple shots, last game.

LOL... I listened to the post game interviews, and I don't recall him making that statement...
After game with BU, GB and Trent.

Didn’t the game continue without any whistles until 1st tv timeout?

Yes... that first tv timeout. When they came back on the court all 5 starters were out. I think they only played about 3 1/2 minutes until a foul, but they were in there - TU, KN, DLR, AG & Feliz ... I'm pretty sure.

You think he has a better shot than Ayo? That is what was said by OP
Didn’t he just drop 21?
