Illinois 75, Wisconsin 60 Postgame

Can't say that this was a total laugher but it is the closest we have gotten to one in a while.

Not to be negative but our 2 freshman were not good today. Especially Curbelo.
If Trent had hit at his recent pace...it would have been a laugher. They had their mini runs in 2d half and we held composure. Great win!

The confidence and poise Ayo is playing with right now is next level. He knows he can do whatever he wants out there and is playing like it. Loved the steals especially. Doing exactly what he needs to do: setting the tone for the rest of the team. I would not want to have to play these guys come March.

Superior defense today produced some offense. We can run when we want to and we are good at it.

A lot of great offense today including a very satisfying Damonte three.

Should be Q1 win #7... behind just Ohio State (8). I know we thought Michigan game this Thursday would have been game of the year, but I think @OSU to close the season will be.
Well, if Michigan is allowed to continue to duck good competition and come back at their convenience, they'll be impossible to catch. It'll be a game for seeding in the BTT, if there is one.

I'll entertain when he takes us to the Final 4. Not right now.
Yeah, I hear you. And I don't say this lightly. I've laughed off when others have brought this up but after this game.............i don't know. We'll have to see how Ayo preforms in the tourney

Great game today. They are better than Wisconsin and showed it out there. Ayo and Kofi look ready for the stretch drive.

Probably best game we’ve played this season. Hitting our stride right when we need to be.
This was not a great Illini game...nor is anyone with 18 turnovers. But it was a horrific shooting performance by Wisky who shot air ball after airball (yes most drew iron but most did not even hit inside the cylinder). But they kept shooting and when you are hitting 17% of them, you WILL GET YOUR TAIL WHIPPED. If Illini take care of the ball better, they win by 25+ easily.

Yet there were several good areas of performance and I would rate the overall performance as a bit above normal.

For a minute there, I thought you were being serious. You got me!
