2 points in the last 7.5 min. Not ideal but we still have the lead. Got to come out strong

Kofi’s hands have been awful on the offensive end tonight. Has to clean that up because that was a sure dunk.

That was the fastest HALF I've ever witnessed. It just flew by --- for me. Need to check how many fouls/FT's there were.

Four point lead at halftime. I'll take that. Trent went nuclear. We gotta clean up the entry passes to Kofi in the second half and hopefully get him a few more easy baskets. This game is ours for the taking.

Good half overall. Shot ourselves in the foot some after we got the big lead, unfortunately. Gotta limit their offensive rebounds and we got this.
Not sure about better, but Goode can bring that to Illini. But Goode isn’t 6-11.
Defensive rebounding and turnovers. Clean those two things up we run away with this.
Absolutely, he's rushing he needs to slow down

I'm pretty sure I was unconscious for the last minute of that run...
Yo, but on some real ****: we got a legit, good team.
This is without Curbelo, but you're seeing the problems we create for people with Kofi squatting downtown and our dynamic long range shooters on the perimeter. Trent just needs to keep showing up. And we just gotta both tighten the screws defensively and mature as a team so as to minimize bone head plays. If we were more mature with decision making, we'd be up 10+ on a bonafide top 10 team, right now.
I obviously want us to win this game - but this showing alone against a stacked Arizona team is a great and undeniable source of encouragement.

Defense and rebounding and a healthy doses of inside-out offense and we win this one

Game plan is working, just have to keep executing and make adjustments. Arizona is not doing a great job at executing their defensive game plan but i don’t think they can change much of what they’re doing. Can’t stop doubling Kofi.

Hit 8 more 3s in 2H and win. No more DMW on Mathurin…he was absolutely roasted.
I mean this year specifically, but yes, Goode is gonna be awesome

Only 4 guys scored for us in 1H.
A game of runs.... it's OUR TURN! Let's get it going starting the second half!

Did you just copyright Liquid Plummer? Love it
We are. It’s a farce that we aren’t ranked now. Show me how Michigan has a better resume than us right now.
