Muted as well … Usually helps
Carry on indeed, Pru. Sorry for your loss. It’s a magical thing when these guys bring hope and smiles to dark days.
I see what you did there...lolYou must have given your stroke to TJ to use in the second half…
Yeah it seemed like he and RJ didn’t play much in second half. Shannon, Harris and Rodgers took up all the minutes. Needed the D and energy of the latter two tonight.
It sure wasn't my actual jumper.You must have given your stroke to TJ to use in the second half…
We are certainly blessed with two guys that can go on epic heaters.
Would love to see em both clicking at once but not gonna be greedy.
Nothing would surprise me. I hope everything is fine with him. I’m sure he didn’t want to be sitting, but Harris brought great energy and was a key to the comeback.

Had to watch the game from my phone in the hospital (my son was born yesterday). It took a Herculean effort to not yell out in excitement during the floor's quiet hours. I will remember my silent fist pumps forever.
Truly amazing heart from the team in the second half. If the team can harness that energy and emotion the rest of the season, look out!
Even though Buie had a career night, the second half adjustments on him were great (Harris deserves a game ball for his defensive efforts). For those who did not turn the game off at the half, we got to witness something special (and maybe the final click to getting on a serious role going into March)
On to Columbus!

Let’s be honest….the first half TSJ had severe rust and looked a step or two slow. Somehow he totally turned it around in the second half. We needed a scorer not once but twice in the second half and he came up with 24. Great job by the freshman again. Jaden is on a bit of a roller coaster game to game but Sencire picked him up tonight and was the other spark that helped ignite the crowd. Never give up. Long live Jimmy V!
Congrats! Little man is undefeated as an Illini fan!
It would've been very easy for this team to find a way to lose after clawing all the way back once and then seeing it slip away.
I am so damn proud of these guys.

Congratulations!
Collins with a good presser. Cool, collected, and complimentary after the L. Classy.

We'll just go ahead and assume his name is Sencire.....
Sending thoughts and prayers your way,Pru
Intensity in 2d half was key
In 1st half it seemed NU just got way too comfortable stroking open 3s.
In 2d half we half court pressed them hard, "MADE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE" and intensified the offensive pace.
All that said, That 2d half recipe as follows, is a great default strategy for winning (we should try it more)
1. On D... intensely inflicting discomfort on foe
2. On O....pushing ball with pace and crash O boards

Sorry for your loss, Pru. I'm glad that our Illini could bring you a little bit of joy on this day.
I don't know what the general consensus is on Chris Collins, but after watching his postgame press conference, he seems like a likeable guy. No excuses or attitude, gave Illinois a lot of credit, and had solid answers to all the questions. I find it hard to root against Northwestern (especially considering that I did some graduate work there).
I turned off the tv at the 14 point deficit. So I’m guessing I got some catching up to do?
I think they win at home against PSU. A month ago I would have said no way they win at Rutgers but they have fallen off recently. Still will be a tough game for NW.
