Finally, a full end to end game! Energy, hustle, and.shots! CH and curbello were great! This is Illini ball
Grandi also had 5 assists and 5 rebounds
Izzo is has a hard time getting past Knight.
Great win! Loved the energy today and the mental toughness even when things weren’t going perfect. Stayed tough & played through the ebbs & flows that every game has. I thought our guys played as a team and trusted echother. Big confidence boost for this team & I bet this will translate to better perimeter shooting.
Kofi didn’t exactly make his job any easier defending that high screen. He’s gotta help close that door if we go under the screen every time.
For me that win means it BEER:30. Happy hour starts early and looking forward to the next two home games sitting 5 rows off the floor! Let's go beat OSU.
Illini win in East Lansing for first time since February 7, 2015.
First regular season sweep for the Illini over Sparty since the 2005-06 season, which was the end of a stretch starting in the 2002-03 season where the Illini beat Michigan State 5 consecutive times. The Illini lost to Michigan State in the quarterfinals of the B1G tournament during the 2005-06 season.

Refs had a rough game overall. There were some odd calls on both ends. Good to see Hawkins have a good game. We had great energy from the start. It will make or break us. We have the talent to compete with anyone with The in-out game.

How can anyone watch this and not know Brad is 100 percent the right guy for this program. That’s awesome
Really nice game from Hawkins. Good energy.

Best part is that they're not in the parking lot. They're out in the road in traffic. Elite street fight.

Hawkins quietly impacted the game in a number of ways. Hope he builds on it moving forward.
It goes to show if we play with great effort & focus, we can beat good teams even if we don’t shoot well.
This game made my brain happy. This clip of Giorgi and Kofi made my heart happy.
Never a doubt.
Was thinking the exact same thing. Walker had D’Mitrik Trice vibes.
