That was AWSOME! I’m really fired up to see the progression this team makes this year. It’s been really good the last couple games , and that’s without a healthy team. Now they are getting healthy with a nearly full squad for practice. Watch out!
Illinois 86, Rutgers 51 Postgame
Plummer is the best Illini get since the legend, Jon Ekey.
They are playing really good team basketball. On offense the ball doesn't stick. Great movement. Giving up good shots for great shots. Making good decisions, starting to gel very nicely. Think the dog mentality of TF and DMFW has rubbed off on all the boys on the defensive end too. Lovin it

I have been a Payne skeptic so far but he actually turned out good minutes this game. Good defense and rebounding. Probably will be the weakest front court in the B1G. Still… encouraging.
can we also give it up for Hawkins locking down RHJ?? That’s a lot of trust Brad put on him to just have Coleman guard him all game. You know beads gonna have some kind words for Hawkins in his press conference tonight

For a BT opener what is the biggest opening win by points.
That made me laugh out loud. Hilarious2nd half highlights:
At least for awhile. He needs to get his legs back under him and his timing with his teammates.
Payne played great tonight, hard in his role and its good to see. He will prove to be a valuable asset as the year progresses.
Hawkins is just now figuring out that he could be next level good.
I find that great to watch.

BU started off the radio interview with praise for Cohawk's defense tonight
2>1 assists to TO's
6 blocks and 8 steals
game was won in 4 minute stretch @ 10 minute mark in 1st half
Jake is an elite shooter....quick release
glad not seeing Garza on Monday .....also said he has never won at carver arena

That’s what I’m talking about. Hope we beat Iowa on Monday with a lot of orange in the stands (sucks it’s on a Monday…).
Coleman Hawkins has everything in his bag if he puts it all together. I was expecting Damonte on Harper but Brad went with the length and closing ability. He probably gets the Keegan Murray assignment Monday and after that showing against Harper you have to like it.

Just getting home from the game the highlight was the crowd booing Mulchany every time he touched the ball. The Krush was absolutely merciless towards him all night.
Weakest front court in big ten and we have Kofi? Are you okay?
Watching the Iowa-Purdue game and Keegan Murray is out with an ankle sprain from the Virginia game. Will he be back or 100% by Monday

Rutgers will be the weakest we will face I meant. Kofi makes us one of (if not THE) strongest
