[hoopsfan47]

Amani sighting....go get 'em kid!!!!

 

[hiberto]

kolek made that look easy

 

[Jimbo]

Domask is so much better for this team than that Baylor bomber. Can’t remember his name….

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow, what a shot by TSJ

 

[FromTheLogo]

Dain? No Dain? Hmmmmm.

 

[skyIdub]

Zero issues with the effort tonight. Great game. CoHawk sleepy first but he's awake now.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

TY!!!!!!!

 

[FloridaMan]

Nice move Ty!

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Ty goodness

 

[Chillinini]

Unforced turnovers are killer.

 

[illinifreak30]

Rodgers looks like he could out jump the 89 team

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This half has been sensational basketball.

 

[azillini1]

This has turned into a really good game

 

[Ryllini]

Kolek is good, like real good

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Seems like Dain is out for a reason, right? Can’t just be a matchup thing can it?

 

[skyIdub]

I am so tempted to drop some $$ on Marquette to win it all. This Kolek kid is exactly the kind of guard that a team can ride through a tourney.

 

[FGCUIllini]

Kolek NPOY?!

 

[illiniguy24]

This half has been sensational basketball.

Awesome to watch. We look good, no matter how this ends. Go Illini.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Not to take much away from how good the kid is, Kolek's getting away with some minor hooks and pushoffs. He doesn't need the help.

 

[grantlab]

Ugh Goode has been killing us on defense. Can’t let him get switched onto Kolek

 

[Punesguy]

What is Harmon thinking … 1 on 4 … really???

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

37.5% from three. 71% from the free-throw line. Hitting shots is making a huge difference. 10 minutes left. Give 'em heck the rest of the way and pull this thing out.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Kolek is the golden goose.....tonight anyway.

 

[hhoene]

Hawkins seems to do great defense man to man against a big, but against a small quick guard or rapid ball movement he looks lost.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Ty’s stat line is really impressive right now. Efficient shooting, little of everything, one turnover.
