I guess the lyric, " a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" applies to sight as well.
Illinois 80, Iowa 75 Postgame
Ayo had 21 in the first half! Great team effort!

That's about as good as it gets. Really solid effort against Garza. Casey Jocobsen predicted 30 for him lol
Its my birthday and I can't ask for a better present. My 15 year old son, and my 14 year old son, and I watched the game together while I enjoyed some blue label, a lot of blue label. When we went down in 2nd half my 15 year old said dad you need to go drink in basement (thats our good luck charm) ....I came back up for last 2 mins and my 15 year old and 14 year old shared a big hug at the end of the game and I got...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!
Can't Ask for more......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

And may your 5th be even better! May the standing O for Trent and Damonte on their 5th year senior night test the structural integrity of Assembly Hall (I mean State Farm Center)

Last year when we beat Iowa.
Paid off refs
2 of Lukas fouls were bs then they screw us out of 2 at the end. But even so 6 missed layups didn’t help.

The Bohannon hate is strong on the Iowa boards and I love it.
He's money if open but a huge defensive liability and does nothing else on offense.
Toussaint did what he does in the first half, runs like a maniac into traffic and either turns it over or makes a contested layup.
Their PG position is a problem for them.

Last year against them in the win with Kofi blocking Garza for the win!

Agree. Maybe the Mich St win Ayo's freshman year I think?
He got over half his points in 1st 9 minutes
Good game Illini. Iowa's achillies heel is defense. Illinois knocked down a lot of open looks.
That’s f’ing beautiful brother. Happy Birthday
The fouls were 14-15 so Iowa screaming about the refs is silly.
Not sure.....but I think he has Schuett for brains.
Kofi might have had a tough game but he came up huge in crunch time. He saved us with his defense late and his hustle on the missed FT. Then drove the final daggers into Iowa's heart with the two FT makes. Great players deliver when it matters most, and Kofi is a special dude.
A butthurt Iowa fan.

That's awesome !
Iowa has lot of skilled talent, but man are they soft. No effort on defense, no ball pressure, its just lazy basketball on that end. I don't think they'll get very far in the tourney without playing defense. Illinois, I really don't even think we played our best game, but we definitely played harder than Iowa. Ayo and Frazier did have their best games. The rest of the guys really didn't stand out.
We do seem to play better against soft up and down teams like Iowa, than teams like Mizzou/Ohio State etc who tend grind out games physically.

.....is an appropriate level of Iowa hatred.
Edit: He would also be paying his own way and written out of my will.
And sitting at the kids table every Thanksgiving forever.
And getting Illinois gear every Xmas.
