Illinois 74, Iowa 72 Big Ten Championship Postgame
Nebraska, we salute you. Watching Iowa unravel at the line was poetic. Back to back champs in my book.
THIS TEAM WINS! I know there have been times this year where we struggled. LOTS of times! But, we win. Sometimes it's not pretty, but it doesn't have to be. This team grinds, this team deserves this moment. Can't wait to see how far we go!

Our secret weapon (Curbelo) - still not all the way back, but getting close. 14 point, 6 assist, 4 late rebounds. (yuck 4 TO's though)

All I got is I-L-L !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah. But so easy to love their SAND!
Awesome game, awesome night!
They were dead tired. We wore them out partly by playing RJ and Podz
Seniors really do mean something. So cool to see Trent & Damonte make it to the top from where the team was 4+ years ago.
Let me say something, if Kofi comes out and plays with the focus, the aggressiveness, and the defensive intensity, rebounding, and effort that he put forth today, this team can make a hell of a run in the NCAA tourney. Shots don't always fall, some nights you're going to have a bad game, but defense, effort, and rebounding wins championships. We don't win this title without that. Hell of a great last 8 minutes defensively from the whole team. That's what won the game. Now let's win the BTT.

Wonder if we got any new recruiting commitments tonight......
Extremely important point...well said.
We love no other so let our motto be...
For me tonight is all for Trent and Damonte.
All of it.
All of it.
All of it.
All of it.

I agree. Kofi's effort tonight was superb!
I love Bohannon's line. 
Hang that banner, baby!! Squawk tears are mildly hallucinogenic... and oh, so muy delicioso
