How do you do. Great win. Congratulations to the Fighting Illini!
Legit.
That. Was. Impressive. Period.
We had everything working against us early. AG's dumb foul, Giorgi's foul trouble, hostile road environment. We navigated through all of that to still end up with a pretty convincing W. Our guys have grown up so much.
Best win of the Underwood era so far.

Best part is Haarms sitting the bench for the last 6+ mins...
THAT'S the way to stick a foot on a neck (not a chest AG) and put an opponent away.
PU looks lost without Carsen Edwards - he made up for alot of sins.

We! Are! Good!
The second half was best half of basketball we have played this season.
This is huge for building a tournament resume. It would be nice to be like to early 2000s where the final games and big 10 tourney were for seeding....oh and a bye to the quarterfinals was expected.
Who woulda thought?
the last 15 seasons possibly....
Easily
1. Just making the point again: we have 2 of the 4 quality (not NW/not Neb) road wins in the entire BIG this year. MSU has zero. We are legit title contenders.
2. I have called out BU for getting out-coached on halftime adjustments (Mizzou) in the past, but dear lord did he get it right tonight. I’ve been one to say he owns the team performance even when it’s awful shooting, so I give him all the credit for tonight’s success. Kudos, coach.

Most impressive win of Underwood Era.
Winning at Purdue is one thing. Throttling them on defense and eating them alive on the boards? My god, inject it into my veins.
