Illinois 84, Colgate 65 Postgame

[21ChampaignSt]

From now on, I'm only pronouncing the name David as Dah-vid. It is the only correct pronunciation now.

Hopefully Petro not playing was precautionary and not as a result of the pregame workout. He was moving well from what I saw of the short clips.

My pregame prediction of Mirk- 0 cavities, Colgate- root canal.....except it was Mirk literally administering the root canal!

Would be great if we have Tomi and Petro for Bama.
Would be great if we could get healthy.

Win by 19 despite building an entire block of mansions with all of our 3 point bricks. Lessons learned and hopefully apply them for next time anyone wants to ugly the game up against us.

Even coach doesn't know how to pronounce Dah Vid correctly lol

Do they have talking points on those papers in front of them?

It was. Plan was to play him but I'm guessing they decided to wait until next week. Get a couple more practices in beforehand. Same thing with Lee.

Morez who?

Would be great if we have Tomi and Petro for Bama.
Would be great if we could get healthy.

Will this team ever get healthy? Are we adding Z to the the list of injured?

Is Mirk the best freshman in the big ten?

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

Coach said in the postgame that he had been all over Mirk about his rebounding against Texas Tech

Mirk:

 

[Mr.Champaign0509]

Anyone else see Big Z limping a bit?

I saw that in the 2nd half as helft the floor. Underwood just said on the radio he was battling knee inflammation. Hopefully just minor!

Is Mirk the best freshman in the big ten?

Easily. Maybe the country.

 

[CDRUSN]

I'm thinking Mirk is a lock for B10 freshman of the week. Again. Might have to just leave the award in his locker most weeks this season.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

David Mirkovic is the best freshman in the country.

No. Absolutely no. We still have Cam Boozer, Dybantsa, Peterson, Koa Peat, etc. In the big ten? Maybe.

 

[Orangetool]

I am hoping that we can keep Mirk and Wagler for two years.

A few more performances like this and that may be tough.

 

[GrayGhost77]

No. Absolutely no. We still have Cam Boozer, Dybantsa, Peterson, Koa Peat, etc. In the big ten? Maybe.

Have any of those guys had a 20/20 game?

I thought he looked a bit gimpy, thank you for the confirmation.

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

I wonder, was Brad frustrated with some players? Was he sending a message by keeping everyone in, or was he simply playing the metrics game and trying to preserve a large lead?

That game dropped us a few spots on KenPom. Now #7. scUM is #14.

Still #3 on Torvik, though.
