Illinois 56, Michigan State 55 Postgame

[Epsilon]

Never a doubt

Ha - you beat me by an half a second.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Great job from our role players eam. They made few mistakes. Omar, Goode, BBV Hawk stepped up Huge.

Trent just said Belo tested positive for COVID. Every possible form of adversity faced by this team this season. Ugh.

And yet we're still fighting and winning!

 

[Kingo24]

Not pretty by any means, but all credit to the guys for toughing that one out. It looks great now!

[NoRival]

Izzo's thugs cannot injure our stars if they don't play.

Look at the big brain on Brad!

 

[Butters]

I watched the whole thing and I still don't know how we won... WHATEVER! I-L-L!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Team win...played their tales off....MSU shot exceptionally poor. Winning on the road in the B1G is really hard. Goode's shooting was huge. Everyone made a contribution and they did it without Kofi...and that is huge.

 

[Keisersose]

That was stressful.

I love Trent Frazier.

 

[Illynois]

LFFFGGGG!!!!.Obviously a bad 2nd half but we don't have the talent to play as well as we did in the 1st without Kofi or Belo. I'm proud of the hustle (mostly) and defense tonight. Let's get the big guns back and get this thing rolling.

 

[BobM34!]

Trent just said Belo tested positive for COVID. Every possible form of adversity faced by this team this season. Ugh.

Better now than in March I guess!

 

[azillini1]

I love me some Trent Frazier.

And Goode was 3 for 4 from 3

[KnoxIllini2]

I need time to elapse before u can feel good about that

Bro. No Kofi or Belo. Feel good about it now.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Great comeback win without both All-Americans. I'll be honest, I questioned us playing so slow the last 5 minutes, not to lose, but heckuva job!

 

[Epsilon]

I asked for a freshman to give us a spark tonight-thanks for listening Luke! Big win.

I was pretty impressed with his D tonight especially.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Quality win regardless even without Kofi and Belo. Lets beat the Nerds on Sat,

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Great comeback win without both All-Americans. I'll be honest, I questioned us playing so slow the last 5 minutes, not to lose, but heckuva job!

By comeback, I mean from two losses.

 

[Chad Fleck]

I love winning without the best players. They get to rest without taking losses. Seems like a win/win.

 

[illinipimp]

There’s no place like home!!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Bro. No Kofi or Belo. Feel good about it now.

This. Without Kofi and Curbelo I honestly didn’t think we stood a chance tonight. Especially if you told me we’d be seeing Leib early in the second half.

Kudos to the staff.

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Trent just said Belo tested positive for COVID. Every possible form of adversity faced by this team this season. Ugh.

We can handle NU without him and should be back by the next game

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

We just beat the #10 team in the country. Without Kofi and Curbelo. And without scoring in the final 5. I like our chances in March with a healthy squad ... the only team I fear is ADVERTISEMENT.

How bad are you at freethrows when you miss the one you want to hit, and hit the one you want to miss?
