This isn't going to end well for Illinois
Did not think they would finish it, team is really growing up, wish they had a shot at the post-season

When Dakich said, “This won’t end well” I said, “Take over, Ayo.”
I am so happy for this team and its coach. AJ’s blocked shot was huge. Finally, they are learning how to finish. I’m really, really excited for the future... I-L-L

In the game thread, I said WeWillWin right as we went down three. I just felt it. No one wilted, they just got pissed.
He is a frontrunner announcer. Says good things about the team he thinks is going to win. He had quite a few good things to say about Illini in the first half then changed his tune when MSU looked better.
Post game thread win against top 10 team and I dont have the message at the bottom that says "show ignored content". All the deniers have hit the bricks! What a great feeling. Go ILLINI. So proud for the team tonight. Sounded like the house was rocking on the radio.
Dakich said an awful lot of good things about us. He was bit of a homer for Michigan when his son played there, but he's was pretty good for us today.
glad Davit got to see such a great game

The replay of Ayo draining the three right after Dakich opens his big mouth is priceless.
He did follow it up with "It ended well.. it ended well". At least he acknowledged he was wrong, but he was gushing over winston... even when he held Trent's arm to draw the foul he initially said "I don't know why they're (illini fans) upset, that's a foul" before having to pivot to what a heady play that was by Winston.

He was very complimentary of the Illini's defense, he, like most viewing, expected MSU to win.
What a great win. I love seeing Izzo chewing his nails during the game. Teams are actually getting worried playing us. It’s been a long time since that’s happened. Beat Rutgers and take the home trifecta!

Totally agree. I still don't understand where that comment came from. He made it sound like Gary Payton was guarding Ayo.
Unbelievable Win.
Ayo... what can I say??

Years Underwood has this we will be back. This is working we play really hard. Wish Aaron Jordan could see a tournament, future is really bright.

That AJ block was BIG. Not only have these guys gotten better, they have improved so much that they can have one of their trademark droughts, and still beat the number nine team in the country. Recruiting is getting easier by the upset.

The guys are getting some swagger. Nice to see.
Props to ADLR for some solid minutes to spell Giorgi.

Winston is a great college player that will be lucky to ever play in the nba.. Ayo will play in the league and will be better than winston with experience. He may be already after tonight
those back-to-back threes. oh my
