That would also give us the Big Ten title with a win this weekend. Illini Big Ten championship is more important than whether or not Izzo makes the tournament as a 12 seed.
You aren't wrong, but I'm very, very, very petty when it comes to ratface up in Lansing.

I liked that we were entering this game with nothing to lose. Our boys played just as I hoped, great effort and energy and great defense. I was just hoping to beat the spread to be honest. Was just hoping to see a hard fought game with a chance to possibly win. No way I saw this. Trent and Curbelo were so good tonight. Just what we needed. This Illini team looks amazing. In 2005 I had a certain confidence about every game. I now have that with this team. We are legitimately good. March is really looking good! Go Illini!

You know, we gave the them the recipe. If you can take the big guy out of the game and control the boards.... obviously they're beatable. If MSU plays dirty they could get one.
FIFY

Don’t think there are many haters here. Some people who are understandably critical when players don’t play well. Just like the coaches. You think BU hasn’t screamed at AC about turnovers? Did you also see the embrace when he came out?
That’s the outcome each of them was hoping for.
naw man, theres been one or two PG threads where 1-2 guys in particular argue to the death that he isnt good, saying things like 'hel lead us to a first roudn exit' and worse.

You never win by 20 on the road in the BT. And you certainly don't win by 20 against a one-loss team that's #2 in the nation.

I'm trying to process exactly what happened. Beyond special.
Without your best player and maybe the best player in the country.
