[One Man Fast Break]

What a game for Will Riley. NBA scouts take notice.

 

[BDMAN]

I do believe the B1G is undefeated so far in the tourney

 

[IlliniHardwood]

Maybe Sean Miller should've cared more...

I am very excited to play Kentucky just from a program standpoint.

 

[Orangetool]

We gotta figure out the turnovers, playing way too loose.

KJ has to get this done.

 

[NASchamp]

Let’s go! Big win! Get some rest and start prep for Kentucky. We play focused and make some shots we can beat them. Going to be a wild game.

 

[TheChief4Life]

God damn that was a fun game for about 93% of the game. But damn… that 7% was infuriating.

Good job fellas! Let’s bring on Kentucky!

Once Illinois got the lead for good in the 1st half I barely felt that they were going to lose control of the game...except for when our offense when stagnant and they climbed back to 76-68. Then the team made an incredible effort to save the ball in bounds, got it to Riley, and his 3 and the subsequent steal and layup by KJ were the daggers.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I'm not surprised by the win, but rather shocked in how we did it. Xavier never really made a serious run at any point. We were in control of basically the entire game. Bring on Kentucky, a very winnable game.

 

[NickOfTime]

To everyone who says that Sean Miller is the coach to take us to the next level...

 

[Orangetool]

Ivisic playing like he wants to move up in the draft.

Money game tonight.
