I agree…it isn’t like it’s gonna hold the game up. How often does it even come up? Goal-tending calls are usually pretty rare…in a game…oh, wait…

I did not need to hear his presser to share your opinion.

I was just going to post this! He always has been engaged at the games, but now he has been producing. The dunk tonight with the and 1, he was fired up! Any updates from the insiders?
Unfortunately for Juwan, a few of his victories vs the Illini were vacated due to NCAA violations. 1992/1993 entire season was vacated.
Brian Barnhart is Illini athletics. He's not allowed to ever retire.
This guy deserves another cameo after this win!
This makes me so very happy.

Same here. Sitting up in Section 201, great moment when young Fichigan fan said "No nuggets for you!" Kid has a bright future if he can emancipate himself from his obviously abusive parents who made him wear puke yellow.
An aggressive RJ is a hell of an asset to this team. Kudos to him and Brad both.
I was super happy seeing TJ ball out in front of his family on Senior Night - what a show they got!
And Coleman has been a warrior at the five this year. Tonight was pretty impressive even if HD got him a few times late. Michigan bigs didn't have nearly the foot speed to stay in front of him and we will get the same against Edey. I love Dain but I think CoHawk will be the better matchup Sunday if he shows the same aggression.
What a kick-!!! Thursday night.

One of the best team wins I have seen over the past 68 seasons. Not the best shooting team effort, but the overall competence, effort, and continuity was at the right end of the curve.
My only disappointment was that we have six guys who shoot free throws with a line drive and their eyes constantly moving. That has not changed all season and I was pretty confident it would cost the Illini team in this closely contested, spectacularly played game.
But, congrats to Ty for making two in a row prior to shooting a laser at the front of the rim. Otherwise, he was as spectacular as any player in this contest. Why one of our coaches does not take him aside and make him shoot a consistent higher arc is befuddling.
And I loved the play of RJ in this game...he is simply becoming the player he dreams he can be. Everyone who played was a big part of the win and I hope the level of defense only continues to climb.
And who knows, if these guys continue to play like this, which was not a hot shooting night by any means, a win at Purdue has a higher probability than at any point of the season.
Great work by a group of tough, hard working, every day, Fighting Illini guys.

I’m telling you guys, he’s Metta world peace aka Ron Artest
Where is he going to find a coach who believes in him as much as BU?
Just watched the highlight video. 90% of the highlights were us driving to the basket or getting the ball to someone in the paint. This is what we need to continue to do to be successful.

Could have been ESPN compared to other networks, but that’s the loudest it’s sounded on TV since the good ole days, IMO!
Do I wear the orange blazer to Mackey or nah... As I was driving in to Champaign today after 400 miles of looking at corn, five Teams meetings, and a lot of podcasts , I was thinking, am I nuts?
Well, clearly, the answer is yes but also no.
This team is, somehow, improbably, becoming really dangerous at the right time. And they're finding a way to do it in spite of a level of disruption at the PG position that would wreck a lot of teams.
Ty was a revelation out there. That dude's ceiling is really really high.
I believe.

Yep, I forget which game it was not long ago, but it was for the last min or 90 seconds of a first half, he was running the point on offense, and defending the 5. Effectively. Nuts versatility
It was pretty dang loud. My eardrums are still buzzing.
The violin version of the National anthem though?
You could hear a pin drop.
Pretty cool contrast from start to finish.
