Brad Davison shot 1 of 9 for four points. He effectively gave up four points on one bush-league play where a player does something dirty and tries to get it called on the other guy, known as “a Davison”.
Officially yes, however, he takes ridiculous shots at times that have no shot at even getting to the rim. For me a shot that doesn't draw ironAgain, it was 6. Not good, but accurate.
Trent Frazier hit his halftime three after forcing an inbounds turnover.We don't have athletes other than Ayo that can really deny a catch on an out of bounds play. Which is fine, but the ball screen coverage late was horrendous. Nobody wanted to contest Trice's shots.
I disagree also. Today he got the most minutes he has gotten for the year and he made a few mistakes but his D was solid.I disagree competely.

Spot on , the last couple games the experience the Illini`s Freshman are gaining is huge (and Senior leadership also) , make no mistake about it , these young men`s "brass" is getting more polished moving to the future.Nice work leaving out Andre's 17 points and 7 rebounds. Now get off my lawn.
On the other hand I really enjoy sleep deprived Underwood talking to the mediaI hope BU gets to take a nap soon
I also don’t think a John Groce team wins this.Yes!! That was a tough, team win. I don't think we win this game a month ago. The last two games will be difficult, but this team has turned a corner as far as toughness is concerned, and that bodes well for the tournament in my eyes.
That's already taken. In Spanglish I'd say: Mago ito - the Little Magician.El Mago definitely does not play scared. I need to get my custom jersey ordered.
I think it's admirable - to say the least - that Kofi contains and constrains himself under constant pressure and very real physical abuse. I wish him well, and I'm sure he'll be just fine down the road financially and otherwise, but if Kofi ever needs a part-time job, I would hire him as my bodyguard in a minute! Don't need one right now, but you gotta plan for the future.If I were Kofi, I would move onto something a little less physical, like maybe cage fighting?
I thought that was hilarious. Wisconsin ask fo the review and then gets the hook and hold called on them. By the way has the hook and hold ever injured anybody??? Why is that a flagrant and not just a common foul? I’m sure people will commment that it’s very dangerous. I’ve just never seen itBrad Davison shot 1 of 9 for four points.

Add in the fact it was their 3rd game in 5 days. Their legs were prolly feeling a little noodley. If not for Trice being unconcious the last few minutes, we win this by double digits easy. Great win!As aggravating as it was to watch, we beat a ranked team, in the strongest conference in the country, on their home floor, without our star All-American and potential POY...you have to feel good about that result regardless of how it was done.

Belo had a pretty eye opening dunk earlier in the season but I can't remember the game. I bet someone else can link it.I feel as though I only recently learned that Miller could dunk it. And today I saw that Belo can dunk it, too.
Learning is fun. Knowledge is good.
Flashbacks to that Miami NCAA tourney gameI also don’t think a John Groce team wins this.
omg. Really. What a hyperbolic statement. smhMan, piss poor coaching job by Brad at the end there. 20 turnovers. Curbelo is great but also an absolute mess. We were pathetic on the defensive glass. Michigan is gonna curb stomp us with or without Ayo. I guess still good to win at Kohl but man what a brutal game.

I guess we shall see on 3/2. I'm not impressed. Obviously we handled Iowa. We should've beat OSU. Michigan hasn't played anyone in the nonconference. So I like our chances. Wait til they feel the street fight at mich st.I don't know about you but I already had none. Michigan is on another level at this point. They've now won @wiscy, @OSU, and trashed Iowa. I hate them but I'll call it like it is.
Baylor and Gonzaga
Michigan
Everyone else
Exactly when was the last time we had a freshman PG play this well?AWESOME WIN!
Maybe it's time to look at Curbelo's stat line a little differently. Yeah, he commits too many turnovers, but he also creates a lot of fantastic scoring opportunities. He creates point-blank opportunities for teammates in the lane, he gets himself layups and short jumpers, he gets fouled, he kicks out for open 3's. I want fewer turnovers, but I'm going to leave him on the court because of all the other positive results he produces---like WINS! And, how about that steal and dunk with 2 1/2 minutes remaining that increased our lead to 12? and the clutch 1-and-1s?
Funniest post of the day! Made me laugh. Thank you!Seems it's about time to put old yeller down.
You know (most respectfully) I don’t think this game is all that important now. Don’t get me wrong I want to win it very much, but I see it as playing with “house money”. Winning today I think guarantees a 3 seed at worst. We would have to win out and win the.BIG tourney to get a 1 seed, with out Ayo? I just don’t see it.Nice to have the WIN is behind us, now on to the most important game of the year. We win at Michigan and we enter a new realm.
