Brad gets flowers, made a defensive adjustment at halftime that worked. And KW was just a star. Congrats everyone! Got chills

BU now has shown multiple years of post season success. Has had tremendous Big Ten regular and postseason success. Has a huge eye for talent. He might be stubborn but if you didn’t see his adjustments tonight’s I don’t know what to tell you. Great team effort great coaching

Brad is wilin’ out you can tell theres a 10-ton weight off his shoulders.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

The defense and rebounding was huge.

The coaches deserve a lot of credit, 12 point win shooting 3-17 from three, just incredible and such an adjustment from earlier in the year.

here i thought brad couldnt get us to the final four and we needed to change our coach

I did too.

Drej is MVP of the entire tournament so far. Shut off crewcut’s water the last 6-7 minutes and was outstanding on offense again.

Definition of a team win

 

[PoCo_Illini]

I couldn’t be happier for Brad, the team, and this staff. They deserves this so much this is the best feeling because we deserve to be here. You can’t help but love this team through and through.

Ours was a well coached game, one with halftime adjustments that allowed success.

We have great coaches with great schemes.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

What a team. Drej, KW, Mirk, Tomi, Z, Boz, Ben, Jake.

In order of performance for the game.

Clark Kellogg's halftime comments were spot on, about us sort of exerting our will and pulling away.

The only one on that panel with an iota of knowledge about college basketball

 

[OB positive]

Stojakovic hate will not be tolerated around here. He won this for us on both ends. His defense on Stirtz was the game changer.

Yes his defense was key. Boswell was basically ineffective on him knowing he could shoot over him. Andrej took that away.

Well well well..... congrats to the players and coaches what a season and we aren't done yet.

ALSO massive shout-out to Cam Crocker. We wouldn't be here without him. Dude has put on a masterclass this tourney.

Absolutely this.

Absolutely. Made great adjustments in the 2nd half against VCU too.

It wasn’t just defense. We changed all the things that needed changed. I’m so happy. 40 pts in the paint tonight. Half the three taken when compared to games that have frustrated me.

UNLEASHED ANDRES.

Keep all of the guys you can keep.

Keep him in Champaign...pay him what it takes. He knows it as well that this is the right place for him

ye I’m not sure if he made the change to take it inside or Iowa took the 3 away for the most part and they had no choice.
