Illinois 85, Maryland 80 Postgame

[MoCoMdIllini]

Whew! Wasn’t pretty but I’ll take any win I can get against Maryland.

Same.

A very nice road win.

Hit our free throws.

 

[BWBW]

Thank goodness.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Never want to hear anyone complain about our free throw shooting again because it was TREMENDOUS today and won us this game

I learned one thing today: Maryland students are the most classless in the B10 conference. They deserve their mediocre weasel coach and their mediocre team. NIT NIT NIT...

We needed a road win in the worst way. Glad the guys found a way in a hostile environment

BIG W!!!!! Great effort by the beloved to get the monkey off the back

 

[Goillinikobd]

All those made free throws in the last minutes won the game

Congrats Coach!

 

[blackdog]

Whew still some plays down the stretch that made me absolutely cringe but they made enough plays this time to get the job done! TSJ was absolutely too much for Maryland to handle.

I cannot think of anything in the world I want less than to play Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament

HUGE Win!! Season would have been different with an L

 

[Illini2010-11]

My spin (and I am sticking to it): Illini allowed MD to stay in the game in hopes of not hurting their NET.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Big win. I gotta be honest. I haven’t seen Penn State play even once this year.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Excellent win.

Kind of a frustrating game, given all the free-throws. God bless them though, the Illini made them.

The refs after not calling a foul for 8 seconds

 

[Orangetool]

Harmon strong again.

Bench bull.

Was this game considered a quad 1 road win?

[WeWillWhen]

I’m really glad that we have TSJ

 

[RDS]

Helluva W. MD was fantastic.

 

[phats22]

Closed it out, gutsy win. Frustrating game to watch but glad it goes into the W column.

Would love JW to write the big ten about the coach interference noncall
