Illinois 74, Indiana 57 Postgame

[blackdog]

Against a high pressure defense that forces a lot of turnovers and Illinois had 9 if you don't include the garbage time shot clock violation.

That is our biggest win of the season. No ifs ands or buts about it.

When I saw that ticky tack reach in foul on Frazier after Kofi went body to body in the post and drew no foul... I was thinking "here we go," but we outplayed them on both ends so it didn't matter.

Bo Borowski pre game realizing he suited up in the wrong color stripes.

Am I the only one who thinks letting the shot clock run out is somehow more insulting than taking the shot?

Anyway, that was a great game. Just ground them into a fine paste on D in that second half.

The grit and mental toughness of this team gets more impressive every game.

Did Belo get his bell rung again today?? Lots of rubbing his head at one point. Great win. Great effort. Huge 2nd half. Hopefully everyone healthy and ready for Tuesday.

Kofi eats TJD's lunch

TJD only had 6 points

 

[PassingBy]

The BEST Coach to adjust in the 2nd half!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

That loud and hostile building was pretty dang quiet most of the second half.

The loud building comes Tuesday. Bring it!

Can I interest anyone in a quad 1 road win?

After the four missed 3 pointers, I texted my mom and told her I can’t watch anymore and maybe they’ll play better without me. You’re welcome Illini brethren.

I like the IU fans booing because we are just killing the clock instead of running up the score? WTF

Such an intelligent fan base s/

Today marked the beginning of a key 5-game stretch with four on the road. So far, 1-0.

Difference in the last 12 minutes was we started making shots. Once Grandison hit those two threes consecutively, things really started to open up and we kept hitting shots we were missing earlier. Indiana didn’t know whether to help off of shooters or let a Kofi go to work. Sometimes it’s just a make or miss game.

Huge second half from Grandison after a bad first half. His box out on TJD on the play before Trent made his three to really blow things open was huge.

Refs also cooled their jets which helped.
