Thugfest?!? One dirty play, but the rest is just fast and physical basketball versus slow and finesse. Let’s not forget we made them bleed first.
Jeremy Fears … You’re a BUM …
Now go win this
boys !!!!!!!!!!
Now go win this
boys !!!!!!!!!!3 of our biggest strengths were absent the first half:
1. Rebound dominance
2. Defending w/o fouling
3. Keaton !&#%!^@ Wagler
I think if we right the ship on even one of those things we take this home.
Additionally we're playing at their tempo, not ours. If we can control the pace of the game in the second half, that would also be huge

We did not play well and we are up 4. We crank it up in the second half and we win. We need to be more physical on that boards.
Eh, he’s a freshman having a freshman game. It happens. We’ll need the vets to win this one, I think.
Sorry Seth but public opinion will be it was on purpose because it CLEARLY was!
Fears is a disgrace to basketball.

In my humble opinion I’ve learned not to count out Wagler going nuclear in a second half once he settles in

That we’re ahead by four after that uninterrupted 20-minute ref travesty tells us all we need to know about the talent differential here.
I will be quite happy if Keaton score 4 free throws only tonight and we win by 8....and likely will he. Just taking what they give him and taking care of the ball.
If I was playing like he has been, I would be so superstitious and worried about jinxing myself somehow that I wouldn't cut my hair, I wouldn't shave(anywhere), I wouldn't shower, or change clothes. Hey, at the very least, it would free me up from the defense. Don't nobody wanna be around the stank!

Horrible
Time to become Batman…Keaton
Jake Davis attacking closeouts!!
Clear trip.
Post game presser:
Coach Underwood, can you talk about that appeal in the first half?
BU: Yeah, Mirk fell down, they got a three. We appealed. Apparently, Mirk was only tripped up by Fears’ inadvertently placed foot.

Can't wait for the Big ten tournament.. we need to take it all!! No sharing anything!! I'm so proud of our team for not playing dirty but being consistent. We really do need Keaton in the game. In some places Illinois is a number one seed in March and I can totally see it but we have to win this game and if we do I think we're a shoe in for number one seed. So freaking proud!!
yep n let’s win this. Love Brad asking for that appeal. Had we using zone defense at times even if they made a couple shots against it.
Move Jake taking it to the bucket.
We tightened up the rebounding after a rough start. Keep that up and win this!

We have other guys to score, Keaton is doing fine. Sparty quickness giving him issues on drives. But continue to facilitate.
Because he's an a**hole, always has been
