[QUOTE="KnoxIllini2, post: 1534042, member: 18062"] This season had a bit of everything. We started off with a clunker that could have derailed us from the start. Thank you, Trent for making some extremely clutch late second half freebies and taking us to OT. Alan was suspended twice this season, one for being late to shoot around and then, well, you know. But what a redemption tour he had? I said it after the game in Evanston, but he could be a pro prospect. Kofi is larger than life. Everyone makes the joke about Shaq and Remy, but guys, we have our own Shaq now. He's Kofi. His personality is fun, and the dynamic between him and Giorgi is amazing. His dominance and FOTY campaign have me anticipating the year(s) to come. I wasn't really trying to make this a player rundown, but here we are. Though the disappoint is there to not get full closure on the season. Especially for our bulldog Andres and the enigma of when we'd get a visit from Good Kipper. With that sadness, we have hope. We, as a fan base, were treated to the resurgence of Fighting Illini basketball. We got to witness the brilliance of Ayo and his becoming one of the greatest closers in B1G history. (I really don't think I'm stretching the truth here, please name others if possible). We got to come full circle on our coach. We have a team and program that has his identity. One that will always be Fighting and never quit until the final for horn. After the last decade, that is my source of optimism and hope. Hopefully the 20's really do belong to the Illini. Thank you everyone. Love your friends, call you family, wash your hands, and stay safe. I-N-I [/QUOTE]
