Great!!!
Sweet sweet victory. I know this is just a fun tournament, but still enjoyable to beat the Buckeyes in Columbus and send Aaron Craft home for good with a loss. Game shouldn’t even been that close with the home cooking though.

THAT was a lot of freaking fun to watch. Feliz was an animal. We finally sent Craft off to pasture once and for all. This is a really great way to get Illinois sports back in our lives.
YOURE WELCOME FOR TURNING IT OFFI turn it on and see we’re up 31-20, Carmen immediately scores 8. My bad fam. Let me know how it ends
Thank you!

Very happy for these 2 who gave it all for the Orange and Blue and unfortunately didn't get a trip to the dance for it

Nice to see this!!
Great game!!! We would have won going away if Garrett Jr.'s shot is on. What were his stats from 3 point land??

I watched the first half and thought I recorded the second but I can't access it. Hoping for a replay as well
I'm not familiar with him outside of this tournament - but he has clearly been the weak link on offense. I hope he figures it out or the team adjusts.
Anyone know why Black isn't playing much? I expected his style to play well in a loose tournament like this.
IMHO, he looks a bit slow and out of shape.
Definitely think we can get better looks and shots than what he's taking. However on the defensive end, I think he's been pretty good for us with his size and length (although I don't think the stats show that)
Would’ve won going away if it wasn’t for the refs. Missed Goaltending, Fouling Diebler on a half court shot, Craft riding Feliz, 6 points in 5 seconds on two made threes with away from the ball foul, Craft moving on charge call, and that’s what I can remember.
Man, I am loving this! These games help feel a huge void for live team sports. It is great to see our former Illini kids again.
8 freakin rebounds.
I read an article after the game, can't remember where, but LaTulip decided to move away from the structured plays in the 1st game and concentrate on finding mismatches in the 2nd. I thought they looked better in the first game. It's weird that the 1 seed would have more weaknesses to exploit than the 17th seed, but obviously it worked. In another article, Hill was saying to give the ball to Vinales for the last play because of a mismatch.
Craft said of Feliz, " “I loved it,” Craft said of the match-up with Feliz. “I told him I liked his game. I hope that’s what it kind of feels like to play against me with just constantly being aggressive and back cutting and being around the ball. I let him know that and I hope the best for him. I hope he gets a good opportunity in his first year as a professional. He was fun to play against.” (https://247sports.com/college/ohio-...ent-title-ends-quickly-Aaron-Craft-148952439/)
