Illinois 74, Iowa 72 Big Ten Championship Postgame

[STL Illini]

I don’t want to be inappropriate as a 58 year old father of four, grandpa of five, but…..

F - YEAH ! ! ! ! !

Some supernatural power caused Iowa to miss all those free throws. I may become a man of faith after this.

I highly recommend it.

Sure, there was a lot of good luck to get here, but after getting screwed over last year by Stooge Warren, I don't care.

So call it approximately 1.23 Big Ten titles combined the past two seasons?

How fitting that DMFW scores the last point and Trent dribbles out the clock. I L L

Never doubted it for a minute.

Six regular season titles in the past 23 years --- more than our fair share (in a 14-team conference), I'd say!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proud to be an alumnus!!!!

Man, what an exhilarating/anxiety inducing game. It feels so damn good. Not our best game, but we showed so much fight and came back to win. Let’s hope we can continue to heal up and make it to FF. ILL!

Okay, so what does the bracket look like? Are these guys gonna get another shot at the Illini? They are stinking good even on an off night.

We did it so proud of this team. Deserved this like nobody’s business. Words can’t explain.

Love you guys

As much as I hate Iowa, I’ll give them major props today. They kicked our butts for the most part and probably win that game 9/10 times with the shots / free throws they got. But hey, that is one heck of a culture win, and one heck of an emotional response.

Make sure it is to the Illini Basketball God (IBG)

The ending of that game was about as ugly as an ending can be. It was also as beautiful as an ending can be. This season has been insane every step of the way and I can't wait to see what else we have up our sleeves.

Kofi with the brilliant foul on the 3 pointer was key to the game.
