Friggin Dainja Zone!!!!!
If he plays like this do you think he'll be here 3 more years?Also, three more years of Dain coming up? Yes please. Gonna be a really special player here
Baylor = Illinois’ farm teamIs anyone from Baylor transferring?
I feel like Dain could be a guard in a pick up gameAnd there's such an element of surprise to it all.
With Kofi there was a total inevitability to it. If he can get his feet to this spot, game over, two points, seen it a million times, head back down to the other end of the floor.
Dain catches it at 10-12 feet and anything could happen.
But he doesn't know how to adjust. He just yells.Great use of the technical and advocacy Brad!!! Definitely helped reset matters
Love you pruView attachment 22823

WHAT A GAME.............WHAT A COMEBACK BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI..............................
Down 9...........................
kept our nose to the grindstone.............
went with the hot hand all game long....
TSJ in the first half and Dain & MM in the second half.................
Epps with a veteran move for the bunny late in the game .....Henceforth , Mr. Epps is the "" Elite Bucket Meister "..................
As far as Sincere , they said on the radio broadcast that he went to the scorer's table to go back in but the bench called him back....would have been a rowdy robust cheer if he had gotten back in..............
Another game thread that had so much noise that I wish some would think before letting their emotions start typing that noise....We are NOT a bubble team, as a couple said in the thread....................
BU on the radio interview..........................
2 really good teams....................
we held them to 4 assists and zero 3 pointers...................
MM with 6 blocks.......................
we only had 5 turnovers.................................
Dain is an elite defender......was spectacular on offense....................
BU said it was a chess match from his seat........kept MM in with 4 fouls b/c he is a grad transfer and highly intelligent........
gotta have composure and battle through adversity
crowd was fantastic ...........best fans in the nation................
Sincere WAS at the scorers table and BU had to reign him in.................I love it...................
prior to BU , they interviewed MM on the radio and he credited BU abd staff numerous times for the adjustments they made .....there is zero bad vibes between BU and MM............period.............
I would like some more info on the alleged schuffle between MM and Skyy in prior game ....sounds like the addition by subtraction has sparked some of this turnaround by the Illini......BTW , that is on my humble opinion and nothing else inferred...........MM did say that Dain is his roommate ....baylor boys ...
records are as follows ................
Overall record...........
12-5
B$G record.........
3-3
Phoenix record..............
3-0
Onto the Barn in gooferland and another victory for the................
Gonads of Granite
Testicles of Titanium
Scrotum of Steel

Racing towards the promised land............hang on Illini Nation.....it will be bumpy at times.....it will be frustrating at times..............But it will be exciting all the time..................IT REALLY REALLY WILL.....................
Usually the case. Thanks for pointing it out though. Basketball is pretty tough to ref at full speed.we gonna act like there was not a ton of missed calls both ways. Between the Coleman foul towards the end of the game and the missed goaltending the refs were bad for both teams
OH my goodness......BU just said it's a bruise and Sincere wanted to come back in .......................Please stop everyone with the bad vibes..........Sidenote: Harris injury did not look good. Maybe a dislocated knee cap
Sounds like a pretty even game then.I think we did get some home cooking tonight, but I'll gladly take it. (And there were some bad calls against us, too.)
I mean, they outscored misery in the second half.Well, except in the Braggin' Rights game...
Though maybe that's not entirely fair because in order to quit, they would have had to start.
Only because of garbage time.I mean, they outscored misery in the second half.
It had a little bit of the feel of some of our better early season performances, for better or worse.Gutsy win. Play was a little too uneven for me to emphatically say we’ve turned the corner, but we’re certainly peeking around it.
If he continues to improve a bit....he will be gone after next season. Of course, I hope he improves a ton and is around 3 more....but I would bet against it. He looks to be a future candidate for the rafters and another Illini legend from "U Betcha!" land like Steve Stricker. It is a treat to watch him play. He is far from lazy as some reported him to be. I would even go so far as to say he is the most skilled first year big ever to wear and Illini uniform.Also, three more years of Dain coming up? Yes please. Gonna be a really special player here
