Illinois 61, Wisconsin 51 Postgame
Me too. The last second three has thwarted a double digit win against tOSU and kept us from keeping Wisconsin under 50.
Where have you been?
Especially when EVERYONE is going to the hole, and not just TSJ going left like a running back thru the guard tackle gap.
I love that Hawk didn't force anything and made very few mistakes. He had the ball a lot and had zero turnovers. It was great to see him play without turning the ball over while playing free and loose.

Wow.......What a game.............What a victory..................ups and downs .................game of scoring runs by both teams........
Mr. Epps AKA "" The Bucket Meister "" with a solid all around game ......Love his cool and calm demeanor.....silent assassin type..
Mathew Mayer with a career high point total as an Illini........His 3 pointers are poetry in motion.....They really really are.......
Cohawk with a dominating nothing special game.........................
TSJ never got the engine revved up.........fouls slowed him down...................
RJ 's dunk was a momentum shifter to the Illini..............
We are seeing the maturation of a squad of returnees , transfers and freshmen that is starting to believe in themselves....
It's called confidence and sometimes the 5 Illini on the court might have confidence in themselves , but now the trusting each other level has been attained.....JMHO , but I think the best is yet to come .....Glass half full...........optimism oozing out of all my pores in an O & B pattern.......
Illini Record..........
Overall............
15-6
B$G record.......................
6-4
Phoenix record...................
5-1
Another one bites the dust.......................Another one bites the dust.............................
pru , I'm so happy for you ................I really really really am....................................................
Shiver me timbers, she's a looker !!!!!!..............She really really is .......................................
BU on the radio...........
MM was elite.........
Our Defense was elite........
TSJ had a rough game .....one of them games.......
MM was the best player on the court...........
slo flow on O............got Dain the ball in the first half............
cohawk with 9 rebs.....his length was impressive on D................
RJ might be the best 3 pt defensive guy in the B$G...........
Epps 13 points , 1 turnover .....playing elite............couldn't be prouder of the way Epps is playing.................
mentioned role identification................playing within the system..............
broke the curse of the blues....saved Joey Biggs job............lol
bucky's 3rd game this week , 2 on the road.......................
Illini win ....Illini win.......Manbearpig........Manbearpig............................lockbox.....lockbox........

Second place was the no look CoHawk turnaround baseline J late as the shot clock was nearly expired.
ROCK FIGHT
Dainja come through with a big first half.
While he has done well finding his teammates, I really like that he actively looks to score a lot.
He has all the tools, just needs a jump shot to go to the next level.

Guess we gotta rock the blues every time we go to Madison
Hopefully not as crazy.
I was a little worried with some turnovers in the first half. He certainly carried us for a stretch there.
Big time road kill. ILL INI.
Ten is a double digit number.

Great win, I don’t want to hear any excuses from Wisky, but.. but … but..
we are 7-1 in our last 8?
most BIG road wins in the last 3 seasons, right?
PUke may be first in the standings, but I am not so sure they are the BEST team.

He ain't perfect, but I really like him. Certainly for a freshman. Onward and upward, he could be a significant contributor to a beast by the end of the season.

I have come to expect it and accept it, better than a desperation heave to beat us. I think BU doesn’t care if it’s a 13 or a 10 pt spread
I think all of us have felt it at one point or another.

I don’t expect perfection from a rookie, but I do celebrate his talents
I’m really glad this team handles bad stretches of game a lot better than we do.
Respectfully disagree. If you live in the Illinois QC there is no team or fan base or program hated more then Iowa Squakeye.
