[Highlander]

We should be the overall #2 seed in the tourney.

Kofi dominated Garza. Difference in the game. Made Garza look clumsy and unathletic.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Way to finish.

Curbelo is the unsung hero. 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists. Many at key moments.

Who doesn't believe this team deserves the overall 2nd #1?

I know Iowa didn't go away but, for the most part, we handled them. They are going to be a 2 SEED is the Big Dance and we handled them. Buckle up fellas. I-L-L!

Kofi dominated Garza. Difference in the game. Made Garza look clumsy and unathletic.

Compared to Kofi, he is. A better shooter, but, by far slower, less athletic, and got dominated.

Hope everyone is enjoying this as this team is special. Outside of a few minutes, it felt like we were easily the superior team and Iowa is gonna be a top 3 seed in the tourney. Damonte needs to knock that nonsense off, it could easily cost us a game in the NCAA tournament.

I can't knock Damonte for that. He's playing hard like everyone else, it's not like he's a dirty player. He just needs to not get himself in that situation but I can't knock the game for playing hard and thru the play.

2nd or 3rd #1 seed wrap it up

 

[dgcrow]

What a team! Love those guys.

Curbelo is the unsung hero. 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists. Many at key moments.

And 12 effort plays.

Let's go prove tomorrow who the best team in the B1G REALLY is.

Thank you Clark

Garza is a great college player and kid overall. But this game cost him a lot of money potentially

 

[illiniorphan]

Love this team, lets get the title tomorrow. Peaking at the right time. It has been great to see this team playing better as the season went on.

 

[NoRival]

1 seed coming!!!

I’m watching the game with my 93-year old grandma. Unfortunately, her sight is at an all time low - she saw Luka Garza on TV just now and said, “That’s a handsome young man.”

 

[SuperMetroid]

Curbelo gets MVP honors from me. Some huge plays in crunch time with Ayo having a bit of an off night scoring.
Hope Hill and Nantz do a little homework on us tonight. Like learn the roster at least, guys.

 

[hooraybeer]

great game, for the most part kept them at a safe distance. if one of our guards is having a bad game we have others who can step into primary roles. Need Kofi to avoid fouls if we are going to make a deep run in the NCAAT

Me.

The #1 #1 seed more like it.

 

[Orangetool]

A Curbelo steal, a Frazier block.

Bang bang, that was it.

 

[kyillinifan]

Way to go Fighting Illini. In my opinion Belo was the player of the game. Man he is good.

 

[WizardBill]

That play by Ayo, diving and saving it off Garza, was AMAZING! A first round NBA pick diving, playing that hard! Amazing.

 

[Orangetool]

Love beating Iowa. Always a good thing to beat Iowa.
