[QUOTE="OrangeNTude, post: 1618967, member: 11023"] I’m just thankful that BU has taken the job and built the program back to relevancy. We finished almost at the top of the B1G and won the BTT Championship. We had stars and positive national exposure. Ayo and Kofi, and another emerging in Curbelo. Beat Duke, Iowa and rolled over Michigan in a highly watched game. Much better than rallying late as a bubble team only to have it burst losing to last place Rutgers (at the time) on the road. If we’d made the tournament that year, and the Pickett-Tilmon-Mark Smith class had arrived in CU, it‘s not clear things would have fared better long term. Thanks to all the players for this season as well. Won‘t name the whole roster here but Trent is one of my favorite Illini. Would love to see him one more year in the O&B. It was clear the offense was going to be built around Ayo this year but I’d love to see Trent get his shot at a scoring lead guard role like we saw a few glimpses of earlier in BU’s tenure. [/QUOTE]
