All in a day and a half work

That was a great win, and extra special to hopefully deal a fatal blow to Michigan's tournament hopes. Beating Michigan will always be sweeter than beating any other team in the B1G.

Too bad we reverted back to shooting 3’s at the end of OT. Drive please and we need to see more Dainja. He had how many points in 1st half and then he doesn’t play hardly in the 2nd half?

 

[AyoDos11]

Morez saw an instant classic ️️

RJ's 3 was the only one made by someone other than Mayer.

 

[2X2L]

Wow, what a game. Illini! Now back to women against Rutgers. What a doubleheader this Thursday night is.

 

[Bacon Butkus Swanson]

Imagine that…. Take it to the hoop, don’t turn the ball over, and make free throws.

That’s a winner!!

Stuff that in yer pipe Juwan!!

Gotta make better choices down the stretch on offense. This has killed us all year long and we should have sealed this one in regulation.

But kudos to the whole team for the intensity in 2OT and TSJ taking over to bring us back.

Down our starting point guard and getting beat up all game, we had to beat a desperate Michigan team that’s been playing pretty good lately, and had to beat the refs as well.

Thats the team I've been waiting for. RJ and Ty with a preview of the future.

Yeah I was excited to see RJ piece together a complete game that we expect from him. I feel like he's only getting his confidence back and feeling appreciated by the minutes and assignments he's getting

 

[DB11Headband]

I don’t think you all realize what we have Ty Rodgers. Future STAR.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

People wondering why Brad stuck with RJ earlier. That’s why.

Huge win. No point guard. Playing 5 on 7. Down 7 in overtime with a minute and a half to go.

These kids have heart.

SO much BETTER when attacking the rim...

 

[FlotownIllini]

Hell of a gutsy win by our Illini! Beating scUM when Dickinson clearly wanted it so bad...just too sweet

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I don’t think you all realize what we have Ty Rodgers. Future STAR.

We realize it.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Hell of a win. Showed a lot of heart. With that win I think we have clinched ourselves a spot in the dance no matter what happens. Let's make a run in the BTT and get ourselves up to the 7 or even 6 line with a win @Mackey. What a game.

 

[Travis1173]

Dickinson has never beaten Illinois.

Howard has never beaten Illinois as a coach.

 

[ejam21]

Why did we stop taking it downhill within the final two minutes in regulation. I mean the refs weren't exactly all there in terms of sound mind but we made it too easy to defend us even after Reed fouled out.

I'm just happy to still escape with a W.

P.s. it was idiotic for the Krush to be chanting NIT at the 12 minute mark against a team that had nothing to lose.

they were packing it in a bit so it was easier said than done at times...

 

[danbor]

We still suck at 3pt shooting we just took 10 fewer 3pt shots than usual. It really is that simple.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I don’t think you all realize what we have Ty Rodgers. Future STAR.

Get him locked up for four years with that NIL bag please.
