It needs to be mentioned again, strength coach Adam Fletcher played a big role in tonight's win.
UCLA could almost argue that they lost this game at the line.just unreal.
Also, it was nice to see ucla brick multiple 1 n’ 1 front ends down the stretch.
Is this fanbase fired up or what! This is pretty good.
Dang, we are back down to 13 after several more game results tonight.We jumped from 16 to 11 on Torvik.
Still 1 below Indiana so I guess we will just have to beat them convincingly.

Looking at the stands on TV, it didn’t look there were /that/ many Illini. Not enough Orange.8000 Illini fans,
Yes. Shannon won the game for us. But he was able to win it for us because of Harris.Game ball Harris. His energy started a fire that wasn't gonna be stopped.
Cause we looked like the dominant team; our length, skill and athleticism made UCLA look slow and lessor of usannouncer says give a lot of credit to UCLA? why, they lost and were ranked higher. give credit to illinois!
He played like a guy who is no longer feeling the back injury. I think it's really that simple- he was diving on the ground, playing aggressive defense, going hard for rebounds. If he's finally feeling healthy, I think this is the Mayer we can expect. Back injuries are so devastating.Can we also talk about how we need to stop doubting Matthew Mayer? The experience and toughness that dude brought tonight was absolutely pivotal. It’s clear he will help win us some massive games this year, even if he doesn’t look like a stud in a 38 point win.
agree100% posted earlier on this, our team is physically tough and Fletch is 100% responsible for this we don't win tonight without that toughness. I would like to mention here as well that brad said during that secret scrimmage with Kansas. He saw that the talent was there and that this team belong to mentioned with the elite. Keep stacking days young fellas and continue to make us proud as you did tonight.It needs to be mentioned again, strength coach Adam Fletcher played a big role in tonight's win.
There are cheap flights from Chicago to Las Vegas, and California Illini are starved for Fighting Illini exposure. It’s not that big of an arena. It’s easy to fill when you have an Illini fan base and alumni like Illinois.

How is Iowa 15 and we are 20? It feels like a strange slant by the Kenpom algorithms. Same thing happened last year with Iowa.
Harris was a shot of adrenaline. The team fed off of it and the Bruins got to feel what it was like to be punched in the mouth.
Being totally honest? Brandon Paul.What former Illini does Sencire Harris remind you of?
Lol what game were you watching tonight? Illini Nation took over that arena and it was an absolute partyLooking at the stands on TV, it didn’t look there were /that/ many Illini. Not enough Orange.
But when Illinois finally won, there was nothing but waving hands on the air.
Look, folks, it’s your duty, it’s your obligation. Wear Orange. Make it show up on TV
Beautiful!
