[CV Illini]

75 of our 91 points came from transfers

Anybody know if Luke is ok? He whacked his head pretty hard on that fall.

Good solid performance today...one of the better defensive efforts today in a while even though we gave up 83, the D was better....keep improving and keep the offense at todays level.....get ready for the Boilers

This Illini fan in milwaukee is dancin in the steeets

Hello, Martha & The V’s...

“Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
March is here and the time is right
For dancing in the street...

They're dancin’ in Chi-ca-go (dancing in the street)
Down in Champaign, too
And Granite City (dancing in the street)

All we need is Shannon, and Marcus
And Hawkins, everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, ‘Lini playing
Dancing in the street...”

So especially considering we went 2-0 this week. Gotta think Marcus is gonna grab another B1G player of the week. He went 22/7/5 on 66.7% shooting and then followed it up with 31/8/3/1 on 57.1%. Not too shabby for a guy from the Valley.

this is how it feels to have your out of state guy dominate their own states team. all badgers fans are probably complaining how tf did we not get domask?

don’t think most unathletic is a correct statement

Honestly think he's fairly similar to Malcom Hill athletically. He's just white.

For all of MD’s heroics today, I think this play was my fave:

DGL looks like he is solid with BU. Let’s hope he is the kind of player that like to be challenged and recognizes that BU develops young men into mature men!

Probably been mentioned already, but I just learned that game had the most regulation points scored by an opponent in the history of the Kohl center. This team is special.

Marcus was a stud, TJS, Hawkins played well. We got good minutes from Dain, Quincy. I said the Illini would win 83-78 because a surprise player would step up. I give the game ball to Harmon because it was he who took the ball to the basket 3 times when the game got real tight and the Illini were struggling.. Great win--NOW GO GET THE BOILERS ON TUESDAAY!!!!!

So when does Domask start getting NBA looks? High IQ, scores all three levels, NBA size and athleticism…

Hopefully after a juicy NIL deal at the beloved next year

Hopefully next year when he is still playing for the Beloved. Loved BU comment in post-game presser today that MD played 3 1/4 seasons in the Valley. Get him back in the fold BU.

Illini won one for the Kipper!

Deadly when focused. Talk about a reach-in... but glad they didn't call it!

View attachment 31723Hopefully the whole thing is visible here. I have no idea how to edit wiki but even cohawk would respect this

LOL

Would realistically have to develop as a shooter to get NBA looks. I think he at least gets a d league shot at this point though and can likely play overseas for a nice career.

Though all that being said there are some similarities in his game to Jamie Jacquez who is having a ton of success and we've seen guys like Max Strus and now Reaves having big impacts at the NBA level recently.

First I’ve heard this mentioned and I’m not sure if my sarcasm meter shouldn’t be on. Insiders….any realistic chance of this happening?

 

[abchew2]

Can you imagine where we would be as a fan base if we just closed out the Penn State game? I think we’re all very excited again seeing the team rebound from that, but man, I can only imagine.

Just approach it like I do, we needed to experience that !!!! show to progress to where we are. Coleman has looked great since. Makes that tough pill go down easier.

Ah, the reemergence of Terrance Jannon Sr. I love it!
