Illini in Indiana

Wow, great game against a great team. Curbelo provides one heck of a spark. How many dunks ? 20 or so!

Curbelo coming into his own has really given us a boost and made us much more dangerous. If we can get Miller to hit a couple more threes nobody beats us.

The "True" freshman of the year.

Gotta give big time kudos to Trent as well. He's come to play ever since the Michigan game especially. His D is killer and he's hitting some 3's and FT's
Weiskamp was shut down in the second half.
Dosunmu heavy minutes, but the rest of the minutes well spread out. Sets up well for tomorrow vs Ohio State playing their fourth in four days.

Not taking anything away from Ayo and Kofi, but Curbelo might have a bigger long term impact on the New Fighting Illini.
He's a true freshman and found a place a team with upper classmen guards. He really shined when Ayo was out with the broken nose.
I'm probably scarred by the 2005 team, but I'm always checking to see if we have players for the future.
Hill and Nantz just became fans and found out just who we are! Just like most of America. BOOM.

I love Damonte and I'm not saying he's dirty, but it seems to happen to him an awful lot. If it was any other player on the team, I wouldn't comment, but Damonte has been in more than his fair share of situations like that.

Saw him his Jr and Sr years in HS at the Montverde tournament. When I heard OA was on him knew we had to have him. He will be an AA I believe.
Curbelo is getting a lot of great exposure, his profile keeps rising nationally I'm sure.
How do you game plan against him?

Agreed 100%, we are going to start seeing more zones as teams are going to make us beat them from the outside

Ayo had 18 points and 9 assists. If that's an off night, I'll take it! He did have 5 turnovers, so a bit off there.
Go Illini and win tomorrow. 1seed #2. Exactly what Andy Katz said at the beginning of the season.
Props to BBV for his minutes, too. He came in and held his ground.

The difference for me between today and Feb. 1st is that Ayo and Kofi, though integral to our success, have so much more capable support down the stretch. Miller has come into his own, Grandison is rock solid, and Curbelo has shot up that S curve to the upper portion during the last 2-3 weeks. Add to that the stalwart Trent and DMW (w/o the FFs) and we're a veritable hydra out there. Even BBV played lockdown D today when he was in.
I feel so good about our staying power during March. It's crap shoot getting to April but boy do I feel good about this team and our coaches. Who in America wants to play these guys right now?

I didn't think that was a dirty play from Damonte. A foul, yes. Gave him a forearm on a boxout, not in the face but in the high upper chest, and the Iowa player sold it well as something flagrant.
That being said, I'm not going to lie, when the refs went to go to the cameras my first thought was wondering whether Damonte was involved.
