TF! Tough D down the stretch as a team
Illinois 75, Indiana 71 OT Postgame
Illinois shot 75 percent from the line tonight.
That's not bad.

Also - massive massive props to Kofi for staying in the game and playing great defense for such a long period of time with 4 fouls. Against a future NBA player at that.
Stressful game, not fun at times, but that feeling you get when we get a tough hard earned W is always worth it.
Go Illini

Curbelo seems like a wash. He also had some really terrible plays.

All misery aside - these are the games that great teams win. Our guys kept their composure and played great D in OT. They should grow from overcoming the adversity of what was an atrocious game from the refs.
Curbelo is just so much fun. I hope he's great, but not so great that we lose him early.
What a pass!!!!!
Kid is special wow!

Just understand that if any of us knew this is how this game would play out...Ayo fouled out, 50+ fouls....we would have given the Illini no chance at winning on the road.
This is really one of the greatest road wins in our history. 0-last 10 in Bloomington. Tons of credit to BU for not losing his sh#t and getting T'd up.
Huge props to the kids for coming off their biggest win against Iowa...and closing this jello wrestling contest out.

Exactly!
I'm not sure what you're drinking..........
That's out of body amazing for Illinois. What did we miss, like two free throws in the first half? We had to move to the mean eventually and we don't get better from the line as we get more tired. I can't complain about anything other than the ref's tonight. Indiana looked strong and executed well. We just survived.
Same guy said this team was better than 04-05 team.LOL
Showed we can win without his best game, a great sign.
He made more plays than he took away. The offense didn't' flow with him off the floor. There's no debating that.

YES! KOFI SLAM!
Watched at the bar (no sound) with an IU guy who knows and breathes basketball. He concluded we had a great 5 on 8 victory.
And Damonte’s free throws covered the spread.
ILL!
