The bubble is not so far off with them especially with their next 4 games. If they play like they did today they will be 0-4. They better get it in gear quickly.Nothing better than Road Kill involving one of our most hated rivals! I also enjoyed reading a few pages of their comments. While the Illini faithful can get a bit contentious with one another, IU's fans are in a tailspin and they are talking about the bubble.
No it’s not. Tons of bitchy Karen’s. Over emotional grown children. Cockburn is just better and so is Illinois. You think you don’t see other players not get called for travel and elbows? I’ll agree with us being spoilers. We are exactly where we were picked pre season. 5-7. We are who we are. Woodson threw everything he could at them. They are just better.

Screwed by ref at Kentucky in elite 8 game ... oh yeah, I remember.
My apologies if anyone else has already posted this:
Their fans are a bunch of inbred morons . They refer to Purdue as "little brother" yet they stormed the court when they beat them this season . You just can't make this stupid crap up haha.
Awesome win. To go into their place and destroy them in front of their stupid fans was priceless.
Thanks for doing this. Puts it all in perspective.
On the UI schedule page the box score has play by play with the time of every score. It takes about 10 seconds to see the score at 10 & 0 in both first and second half. You could do the entire season in about 10 minutes.
BTW in the Indiana game IU won the first ten by 7, we won the second ten by 5, the third 10 was ours by 1. Then the last 10 was ours by a lot.
We eleminate Jonny Davis last week and TJD this week for Big Ten Player of the year.
Depending on how deep a run we make, Trent has an outside chance of finishing 2nd all-time behind Deon. That would be sweet.

I think we're already in the same conversation as the last two Illini teams ('20 and '21). None of the three won more than 1 NCAA tourney game. The real question is can we win a game or two in weekend #2 of the NCAA tournament.

BEHIND DEON is the operative phrase in that comment.......(prefer to keep it that way).
I agree Kofi is underrated. His defense was unbelievable, he has developed a great shot with his left hand and most importantly, he changes the entire strategy of the opponent when he is in the game…
Refs came out with two super ticky-tack fouls after half time, but then they really cleaned everything up. Nice change of pace! Anyone notice Damonte drives past his defender, gets that defender on his back, has an open lane to the glass and then Damonte just STOPS and looks for someone to pass to? That's gotta drive Brad nutz. In the second half he finally drove, no hesitation and went up to draw the foul. FINALLY!!! Please, please, please finish that drive and get the basket or draw the foul. Damonte is so quick and strong on the bounce... he just needs to finish. Nice to see him pulling the trigger a bit more from the arc too. Just a solid effort from beginning to end from this team. Very fun to watch.
That was absolutely filthy

The body language from TJD after that block is almost sad for me to watch.
Looks like he has a shot to be 4th at worse when the season is done and 3rd if the Illini make any sort of noise at all in either the BTT or NCAAs.
Probably take a Final Four run to get to 2nd.
At 13ppg he will almost certainly get 3rd with any respectable showing in the post season.
