    Illini Basketball 2020-2021

    This team seems to have the "it" factor. They do not fear the moment and when someone doesn't come through there is someone else on the team that is not afraid to step up and make a play. We all knew Ayo has ice in his veins but watching Curbelo take some gutsy shots the last few games and...

    Great all-around game fellas. My humble assessment of each of the players in order of my perceptions of their contribution to the game: 1.
