Big kudos to Coach Underwood and the rest of the staff for the defensive schemes today and offensive side as well. I lot of fans had given up on Underwood, but a game like this along with recent success in recruiting shows that he could really build something at Illinois. But it's not easy to be patient during the turnaround process.

By the way I think both Illinois and Maryland will be at the front of the line saying I don’t want to give up anymore home Big Ten games!!!
Flew down to NOLA for the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised when, while ordering a Huge A$$ Beer, I saw the final score on ESPN. They've shown this kind of potential multiple times this year. Let's hope this win signals the turning of the proverbial corner.

Tevian looked terrific today. I loved his dunk off the feed from Aaron Jordan in the second half.

I shall not spare you the narrative - our defense is getting better.

We had some really nice answers to multiple Maryland surges.
AJ's offensive rebounds really provided a spark
Feliz hitting a runner after Fernado's monster in-bounds dunk was critical
TFs great defense at the end - steals, feed to Ayo
And of course couldn't be happier for Tev - he looked completely comfortable out there and wanted the spotlight (at MSG for crying out loud!).
PS and Way to go Adonis - keeping Fernando from bulling his way to the basket!
PSS - and congrats to BU for switching up the defense. The zone got out to the three point line shooters so much better.
PSSS - Turgeon - you're a knucklehead - watch the tape and the apologize to your team.

I have been saying since early December that Tev looked like a difference maker. Glad to see him break out and prove it!

Doncha hate it when a kid comes out of nowhere and scores a bunch of points on the beloved (seems to happen frequently).
Well, today we turned the tables on MD with TJ. I'm sure that is what they are saying to themselves.
Great win. Wasn't able to watch live (9 am start on the West Coast). Can't wait to watch my recording.

I 100% agree. There were several rebounds in he got in the second half which I couldn't believe. Outmatched by several inches yet he came up with it.
Just when I had given up hope for this season...
Great game. Excited to see Tevian Jones not only get minutes but, really make a difference. Great to see him making the 3’s but, also impressive how quickly he gets it off. That back door dunk on the feed from Jordan was great too.
A lot of credit to go around in this one especially from the bench. Feliz was strong today and Delarosa had a solid effort too. I thought Ayo, Frazier, Jordan and Giorgi had solid games also.
This game did a lot to help regain my confidence that Underwood can be the guy to turn this around. That confidence has been severely waning as this season has gone along.

Tevian was looking like Trevor Ariza out there!! Good to see him get 22 minutes. I believe he should get at least 25/game despite making a few freshman errors.
