I love the '05 team, but I these boys have a special place in my heart. Fought through so much and to send our senior out like that. Perfect. The rest is just gravy to me.

Don’t underestimate the gravy!

I N I!

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to Nebraska for gutting out a win against all odds and Iowa for the biggest choke job at the line I have witnessed in a long time

 

[Birdus]

This is sooooooo greattttt! Yes! Finally got the monkey off of our back. Gotta feel great for Coach!

I assume Kevin Warren is there to present the team a trophy.

I watched that one and I SECOND that!

Iowa brutally choking and handing it to us wouldn't have been my first choice of ways to win a Big Ten title, but having experienced it?

Such a great reward for the entire team. They worked their asses off for this moment.

What Grit! Hawk came back and played well there too! CHAMPIONS AT LAST!

Nice rebounding and pretty solid defense. Had a couple nice moments on the other side too. I'm willing to overlook the missed dunk only because we won.

Andre Curbelo and Coleman Hawkins are type of players who are significant contributors to Final 4-caliber teams. The lineup we ended the game with before Belo fouled out (Kofi, Coleman, Plummer, Trent, Curbelo) gives us Final 4 potential.

I think he did last year in the BTT too.

My life flashed before my eyes on that Chris Murray three pointer

For the last few weeks I have been listening to the talking heads tell me they would vote for Davis as the Big Ten player of they ear because of how he elevates the Wisconsin team. All I can do is yell at the tv telling them that Kofi elevates the Illinois team too and does a better job of it. Tonight he did it again.

[Navy_illini]

Hawkins was huge in this game whatever Underwood and him talked about turn his season around

Kofi had an awesome game and it still amazes me how much contact he takes

Need to clean up the unforced turnovers by the team

 

[GallopingGhost]

THE ILLINI ARE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS!!!


People I’d love to thank: Nebraska, Alonzo Verge, Coleman Hawkins, Kofi Cockburn and a special thanks to Choke Murray.

I don't know whether Iowa, Wisconsin or Purdue is more frustrated today.
