Illinois 66, Northwestern 62 Postgame

[IlliniInIndy85]

Another solid game from RJ. Maybe he’s getting his mojo back.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

UCLA part deux. My gosh Sincere and TSJ! Our first win by less than 9 all year?? Nice to win one of those!!!!!

SH with a monster effort in the 2nd half on D. Elite job young man

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Will blowing this lead bring doubt to the Kitties?

 

[ChiTown]

My heart health just can’t take this team anymore.

1) I won’t wear rose-colored glasses because of how pumped I am right now. We HAVE to avoid those dry spells (focus and shooting). The goal this year has always been one thing and one thing alone - Second Weekend of the NCAAs. I don’t want to rely on “being hot” to get there.

2) On the other hand, WOW! Loudest I’ve heard SFC in ages when we tied it, and regardless of the terrible play to dig the hole … what fight to scrap out a win.

3) I-L-L! Not this year, Citty Catties! #1959

The real value of this comeback will be had during tourney time.

The Illini are never out of it. The team can believe it.

 

[DB11Headband]

Wow

 

[WyattEarp]

I’d like an update on the guy who was told to slap himself if we won. Lol.

[Navy_illini]

Wow!

TSJ with a huge half
Harris and Hawkins with great D down the stretch

BU found the lineup that clicked tonight

RJ had some big plays in the 1st half. Made a 3 and steal/layup

Mayer is the best I have seen drawing fouls on 3s

 

[ILL7174]

That was an amazing second half. Harris is a very good defender. Nice to have Shannon back

One of the top 5 historic comebacks in my 67 years of watching Illini hoops. Much respect for TSJ and SH. What a wild game. Also much respect for NW...they are legit good.

 

[jumpingjack]

I. Believe.

 

[illinipimp]

Wow.

 

[Iamgroot]

What rivalry

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Please tell me again how Brad doesn't make halftime adjustments.

[BlindLoyalty]

Impressive 2nd half D. Epic 18 point lead meltdown by the kittens.

 

[Sedino]

Never a doubt.\

 

[Navy_illini]

And that was a quad 2 win. SMFH.

Yeah but an AP top 25 win

[CogDog]

I feel sick and have a headache from the sheer wave of emotions from that game. Good lord. What a rollercoaster.

My mom said TJ immediately stopped and signed autographs for awhile after too for the kids. I LOVE these dudes
