Nice game gang - way to put a foot on a throat.

11 guys scored. 57% from the field, 40.75 from 3. Pretty decent effort.

Liss got in the box score with a foul!!

Smith, Williams, and Lucas combined for 6 points per ESPN's box score. That needs to improve.

Revenge for last year's closer...and while we're at it, football too. I'm looking forward to heading over to Piscataway when the Fighting Illini come to town.

Been so long with a B1G win like this...such a nice feeling to see follow-through from the IU win.

Outside shots fell - great first step. Now just get some inside rhythm consistently, and we're cooking offensively.

Great win! Enjoy it - go to Columbus with some swagger and nastiness and spoil the Holtmann love fest. :illinois:

Overall very aggressive defense, much more intensity (amazing what a win will do), the guys seemed to WANT to prove themselves again. That is HUGE!!

Frazier-his team, he gave us breathing room and made life easier for the team to relax when he went on the 5-6 streak in first half.

Alstork, I think he has been shooting to close to the line, seemed a few times he was a good 1-2 behind and made them look easy? Defense was good again!

Black, Did not try to press early, game came to him eventually and he ended up in double figure scoring.

Kipper, I really liked him in the starting role, once his nerves calmed down. I still do not think he is athletic as many think he is, but 27-19 back to back. This could be the consistant 3rd scorer we need.

Finke, Hell he looked like an elite shooter tonight. Keep it going big guy!

Williams, Rebounded and defended, LOVED how he came over and got into the fray over Jordan...that is a teammate!

Jordan, Intangibles looked good tonight, scoring may never come back, not a creator, do the little things and help us win.

Smith looked a little more comfortable...the rebound putback without landing was a college play, playing in flow of game. Maybe that is what he will need?

Ebo...Block shots, get yours when there and hustle. All we really need with him now!

Lucas, another good game, would have rather seen him and Trent together a lot more though.

Overall a great win at home, fans/players/coaches were all involved to show Deron how the program is on the way back. Good for us all!

Let's not forget the steals and turnovers!! I remember many a Groce-coached game asking myself where are the freaking steals and turnovers? This is not ILLINI basketball!!! Man was I frustrated!!

Man, you don't see butt-kickings like that very often in the conference. It's as if they took a season's worth of frustration out on Buttgers.

That's what Rutgers gets for making every real B1G team travel to NY'ish.
