I'm sorry to the rest of the B1G, if you didn't play us during December you're screwed because baby...

 

[BBlock24]

What is this team? I love it!

This new offense is fantastic. Even against Northwestern there were signs but the shots didn’t fall. I think another week of practicing has really helped everyone get used to it

 

[New Creation]

That ball is humming..

 

[GallopingGhost]

That ball was flying around!! Great passing

 

[Miles Leonard]

You see, good things happen when you move the ball and cut to the basket.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Up 20. Up 20. That's more like it.

Man that ball is whipping around

Illinois has found their next level. This is how we dreamed they'd be playing. The effort, the intensity, the teamwork. This is a team that can make a giant run.

I bet they could beat UCLA. Or even Texas.

I’ll be one to admit I all but wrote the season off after Northwestern. But tonight: offense, ball movement, defense, and most importantly… HIGH HIVES + BODY LANGUAGE! This is the team that beat UCLA and Texas

But BU should have been fired?

He's played some very good minutes this game. He's earning his time out there.

 

[Bigtex]

He is really good when he decides to play within the offense and shows some semblance of effort on defense. When he doesn't do either, the calls for him to sit are very justified in my opinion

He is one of the top 3 players - so he will get his minutes. Probably our best shooter from deep

Road blowout in this league > win at home against ranked team w/out their best player….but we’ll take it all.

It’s been a great 3 days. We’re back.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

Now this is how you play ball.

Giorgi

Awesome!

It's really hard to not let your mind run wild wondering what happened in December and how recent events have remedied that situation.

We should never question this coaching staff ever again. Whatever they have done in the last week and a half is solid gold.

Credit to the kids for responding....but this is marked improvement in effort AND execution.
