Welcome back Coach! Figure this gif needs to be dusted off and is appropriate for the occasion…

We also need to give the proper respect to @sharpshot16 and @marvin1991 Both seem to be quite dialed into the program and share their info when they are able.

Jay Wright has been very complimentary of the Illini throughout the tourney. Tonight as well. Said how the Illini really showed him something when TSJ went down with his 4th and that we maintained our composure and the lead.

He also picked Iowa St in the pre-game. A-hole

We made the adjustment here to force the ball inside to Dain. He made some buckets and it opened up the floor for Goode to drop his key 3 and for Marcus to get to the rim for the And 1 which we desperately needed

Damn right!!! And Dan Bonner needs to shut the hell up. He had nothing good to say about us. He yammered on about missed FT like Billy Packer did with Duhon’s rib

Illini in the second half…

Really appreciate your dedication to the team. Cheers!

Massive change in defensive play in 2nd half. The adjustment to start switching on the high screen and roll was key. Took Nebraska out of their flow and we started stringing together a bunch of stops.

Glad to see the RHR down. Going from 85 to 58 is quite a turnaround in 24 hours.

Very happy with the win today. Especially sweet as my wife is an Iowa alum. She’s not too happy. Doubt there will be any special hugs this evening…

Not only that…But Egwu’s pick and roll defense was outstanding. He could hedge and recover very quickly

The last 4 or so minutes have been better on offense with taking the ball to the hoop. I’m glad they aren’t settling for as many threes. Keep attacking the rim and forcing the issue inside.
