Or that we had the lead only about 50% of the game

Never been happier about my refusal to pay for BTN+
When was the last time we had 2 scorers over 30 in a game?
No point guard = no bueno
Yikes. We got some work to do.
Signature Home Win. AND we held them under 90.

Omar Payne only playing two minutes is extremely concerning.
BU has some work to do. Very glad to not have what would be a really bad loss come Selection Sunday.

That might be the least satisfying win of my Illini fandom.
Let’s hope this was an anomaly.

Without our starting backcourt we managed 94 points. I didn't see that coming. I especially didn't see giving up 85 in any event.

Pretty crazy to think that of the guys in before the TO, only Kofi had seen significant minutes last year. Otherwise you are looking at no minutes from Hutch, Goode, Plummer and spot minutes from Hawkins. These guys wavent really played together. Go figure!

Dear coach, I think our best player is a big guy named Cockburn. I think our second best player is a little guy named Plummer. Probably a safe bet to have these 2 guys start and work on the other 3 players for each lineup. And congrats on beating UT Rio Grande Valley tonight.
