Kid is a wizard. Just a damn wizard.

Tyus Edney, UCLA to beat Florida, I think, ncaa tourney. Curbelo makes a difference

[the juiceman cometh]

Let's play more like the beginning and end of that half and less like the middle, please

 

[DeonThomas]

Shouldn’t that have been a 5 second violation on the ball holder ? Plummer got called for that against Arizona

What's a "ball holder"?

 

[sacraig]

So glad we didn't give Curbelo much tick to avoid any "chemistry" issues.

#3.
On the road
Raucous crowd
12-0 run

And yet…we lead at the half.

 

[FloridaMan]

How are we not down double digits? Thank you, Alphonso and AC! Gotta avoid a drought in the second half!

 

[sully]

Curbelo with ice in his veins! boiler fans booing. Loving this!

And smdh at the refs calling every single ticky tack foul.


OH well Curbelo s back & better than ever.

38-36 good guys. I'll take it and can't wait to see what Coach Underwood has up his sleeve for the 2nd half.

GO ILLINI!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

After a lot of freaking out up in here, we're leading. We've made exceptional halftime adjustments all season. We'll make them here, too. I like our chances.

Paging king Kofi…Paging king Kofi

 

[sdfidaho]

I'm going to need a .gif of DMFW ball whipping that dude.

Haha
He knew it was coming too, and he did not want to be in that spot

 

[FromTheLogo]

What is Curbelo doing tonight…

Taking over.

 

[BRucks]

We caught them on rebounds

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Dare I say BELO might be faster then Dee

It’s only halftime and you’re very, very drunk.

 

[King Snake]

Was that Dee Brown at the end?

 

[pruman91]

Illini on a 14-5 run to end the 1st half....................

These illini have such intestinal fortitude......................I love this team .......i really really do .......................Tito shots for everyone ....................

 

[PapaKvells]

We want it more but they're looser. Love seeing Belo get minutes again!

 

[altgeld88]

what can bello do in 6 seconds? wow

Who was that coast-to-coast for UCLA v. Miznoz in '95 tourney at the buzzer for the win? Tyus Edney? He was the poor man's AC.

[EDIT: Someone beat me to it]

 

[eas23]

Kofi in foul trouble, Trent with a donut, and we're winning. This is there for the taking.

 

[Bigtex]

Payne and Plummer good in first half
Bbv held his own
Grandi good before 2nd foul.

Need more from Frazier and curbelo

 

[WeWillWhen]

Where's Curbelo?

 

[blife]

Second half. Pay back time. Time to put these guys away.

What's a "ball holder"?

The ball handler who held it at half court for Purdue without dribbling
