It's so dumb. I was freaking out watching the miss-a-thon in the wasn't first half.
I wouldn't be shocked if that was the moment it all changed.
You're welcome, frens.

I lived in Cleveland for many years watching Mark Price way back when.
Domask's game does remind me a lot of Price's and that's a GOOD THING!
We are barely in the same class as Bryant.
Great seats still available in section 116 vs NW for $80 where the krush sits. I think you all should join me there and let's rock it!
These guys deserve a rowdy crowd at home every game this year!
Ill take our backcourt of Domask and TSJ

My thoughts exactly.That performance is really going to hurt our season defensive statistics.
I'm getting some 2004-2005 vibes. 
This will be a great win.
FAU will go and clean up now in their conference, win a lot.
We will look all the better.

The coaching staff has made some great adjustments, both over the course of time/between seasons, and within game. I have criticized BU for this in the past but kudos to he and his coaching staff for their ability to be dynamic!
The ball movement is a whole lot better as well.
It's nice to see us win in different ways, I honestly didn't think we could run with a team like FAU offensively and yet we almost put up 100. What a fun game and a HUGE win down the road. As fun as this game was, the Tennessee game will be equally ugly and low scoring lol. Be ready for a dog fight in which we get hacked on EVERY play.
Kind of did to FAU what Kolek did to us. Or maybe that guy from PSU.

We are on the front page of the ESPN website right now.
I'll tell you what, that was the most impressive performance I've seen since we went into Ann Arbor without Ayo and ran them out of the building. This win was effing exceptional and that is an understatement. FAU is 100% for real and not only did we play with them possession for possession we imposed our will on them to close them out. In gut check time, we did not give an inch.
This wasn't last year's Texas game where you credit some unconscious shooting. This was a full team victory and one that makes you think this team can make a very serious run. We're for real this year. And when you have a senior like TSJ and a senior like Marcus who can both get you one and have ice water in their veins and you have a guy with Ty's toughness, and CoHawk's defense, you do have a chance to win 6 in a row in March. Whether it'll happen or not, who knows, but this team officially has a shot.
Hell of a win. Hell of an effing win!

Also taller which really showed tonightFAU is a really good team. I think a lot of people underestimate them. They are real. But we are realler
I was in the front row on the floor for that game. Tonight reminded me of that.

Was I the only one holding my breath the 2nd half waiting for FAU to catch up? I thought Marcus Domask was the 2nd coming of Larry Bird. I remember Bird backing people down and everyone wondering how the guy scored so may points. And of course TSJ just keeps doing TSJ things! What a performance by the Illini!
Excited for what is to come, but the sky is the limit for our team. We finally have crazy good depth. My Cubs did it in 2016....can my Illini do it in 2024?
