I love that TSJ’s reppin the Illini… and so close to his his former Texas Tech stomping grounds.Welcome to the Illini in the Pros thread

Wow - that is loyalty to the Illini! TSJ is one of my favorite Illini and I go back to Eddie Johnson, Bruce Douglas, Kendall Gill etc.
TSJ carried us to the elite 8. I really hope he gets traded. He is buried behind ANT, McDaniel, Ayo, etc.
Nothing wrong with TSJ defense. Coach just doesn't believe in him.
Get him on a bad team and let him rock. Then he will get an big 2nd contract (he is under control 2 more years).
Ayo downgraded to OUT. Calf Soreness definitely being looked at with a way different lens now. Hopefully Ant can hold the line while Ayo is out
Calf soreness can lead to Achilles tears. Not that Ayo would ever avoid competition, but he's probably a week away from teams falling over themselves to pay him generational wealth levels of money. An Achilles tear would sit him for at least a year and probably tens of millions.

Hoping TSJ gets a chance to use some on Ayo’s minutes at the point, driving thru weak defenses for a poster, not buried in the corner waiting for a pass. Lesson learned?Ayo downgraded to OUT.

Terrance getting the start tonight. Let's go!
Wait what about Edwards?
I read earlier they were thinking of bringing him off the bench
TSJ needs to get more active on the defensive end. Missed a rotation and gave up a 3.
Yep, he just kind of floats when he doesn’t have the ball and when he isn’t defending the ball. He should be flying around out there
wemby's a monster.
it's TSJ time! 11 points to lead the team and just drew a charge
Looking better on D the second half.
TJ playing his butt off.
Make your free throws. 5-12 in a NBA game is insane.
you just need to make threes to beat spurs.
just can't score over wemby (at all). makes it even worse since gober can't shoot.

This is reminding me of the ILL vs UCONN game from 2024. Just keep going to the basket to get rejected. Good news is they have avoided the 30-0 run. See if they can pull it off the upset.
Unlike college, the mid-range game is where they need to take advantage right now.

they took him off the court, and it's paid off so far (offensively).
Phenomenal win.
Terrance with 16pts.
