Truly awesome having a freshman who you’re surprised when he misses

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Man when our threes are falling we are really tough to beat.
We have the luxury of shooters.

Let me REPEAT that:
Z needs more minutes …
I couldn’t start watching til late. Turned on the game and we went on the 11-0 run later in the second half. Coincidence? I think not.
I lived in MN for 15 years (back in IL now) so it’s nice to stick it to the Rodent fans

Dude shut up
Two very clear MVPs of this game:
Wagler: 17pts, 4reb, 5ast (all in second half) to just 1 TO in 38 minutes.
Big Z: 18pts, 9reb, 3blk, 2stl.
The thing about Z is that there's sooo many shots he alters but doesn't show up on the stat sheet. Teams just can't score inside the arc with him standing there.

I disagree with you on everything.But I agree with the no bar rule or pot dispensary.These boys are different men on the road compared to home.And it makes you think.
Easy to nitpick our horrendous zone offense …
Noticed Ben got stapled to the bench at some point in the first half.
Was wondering this also, but looked it up and Tomi is a better FT shooter. That has to be why, right?
These are the type of games you gotta win if you want a shot at the B1G title and double bye for the BTT.
Every win in this league is a good one. Minnesota played extremely well in the first half. I think we had them gassed by the end. Great to have guys who don’t get rattled when things go wrong.
They just continue to take care of business. On to the next.

Would love to know their 2pt FG% with Z in the game.

We did get better as the game went on. Got the ball in the middle more consistently
I am amazed how we just don't foul. Good win. Now win against Md.
Ya but we don't play against it often and we still won by 10. Also statistically pretty silly to run a zone against a team with as many shooters as the Illini have. We saw why when they caught fire and stretched the lead at the end of the game.
Nah man. Seriously, until you stop bashing our guys and staff ALL GAME LONG, without ONE positive comments.....you should stay away from threads where we win.
You are a GREAT source for recruiting, but the things you say and how you present it during the game......it's awful.
You should be forced to say ONE positive thing about our team. We're 15-3 (6-1) and by seeing your comments....one would think we're NIT bound. Then, when we're in a run, you disappear.
I love your contributions to the board. I literally get excited over you booms. You're an EXTREMELY important part of this family.
Your comments in the game thread however....brutal.

Proud of Mihalo Petro for contributing finally. Hopefully we can get 5 to 8 minutes of good play from him. Keaton is amazing but frankly he looks under weather. Kid still scoring 18 points. Just special.
12 years in Minnesota for me and I wholeheartedly agree about rodent fans
Yeah, needed offense and he wasn't providing.
Can live with it if his defense is up to task or if others can carry the offense with him out there. Neither were the case today.
