We are getting excellent looks from excellent shooters. I expect that to continue if they double kofi because he’s making excellent reads.

I don't like the cocky attitude of the opponent today............
this first half of Cohawk's reminds me of the game where he really helped in the second half for a win....let's hope he gets his head on straight at halftime and realizes we need him to step up his play today.....
the DMW foul and tech took a lot of wind out of our run........
I think the crowd and our defense will give us a big lift in the second half............

What's more amazing is that that TAMU as an institution makes it happen. They fill the entire sideline from the field to the top deck with students. It's like 35,000 students in the 12th man section. They didn't maroon the students on an island in the north end zone just to cash in (and that's a LOT of cash at an SEC school where football is everything).

Outside of the technical and +/- a minute or two, IL is on script

FG% : 46/38
3p%: 42/33
FT%: 67/75

Keep those chirps out (please)(W is more imp than some 1-on-1 talk) and we win by double digit

Overall very good first half. Victory is definitely within reach. Need to cut down some on TOs cuz AZ is just as good at getting offensive rebounds as Illini are. DMW needs to keep playing tough and keep it in his pants. We don’t need him getting into a measuring contest again. And let’s get Kofi going.
And shore up the glass. This game is close because of what Arizona is doing on the offensive glass/ second chance points.

Michigan also has the supremely overrated Dickinson. I still don't understand why the talking heads slobber over him. He seems like a good big man, not a dominant one.
Or Wiscy???? LMFAO

Why in the world would you have a problem with t-shirts handed out to students to make them feel part of the team and colorize the sections?
Of all the things to complain about....
Bo Boroski is terrible......the AZ coach has a punchable face.....Bardo hates Illinois.....STAY ON POINT!

Not much os a diff.
But, point taken. Keep their ORBs down
Just made one of the biggest blunders of my life. Having looked forward to this game since the day the schedule was announced, I got caught up on writing stories to my daughters on Storyworth while waiting for the game to start. It was only two minutes ago that I looked at the clock. Missed the entire first half. First thing I checked was turnovers. My thought was how could the Illini be ahead?
Hope I am not a jinx....turning it on now.

Arizona may be the only team we face that's taller than us.

ok cool. I would have guessed they had us beat on the O glass more than that.
2nd half prediction ... The legend of Luke begins when he baits Assolast Tubular into a T.

Lets get back to doing what we were doing in our 19-0 run......crisp passes , hit our 3's and play stout defense.......I not convinced in the superiority of Az over the Illini.....I don't care that FOx or whoever have deemed them hot stuff.....
They look weak on D and if the refs call the handchecks on them and we make a beeline to the FT line , we win......
C'mon Illini , let's do this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The commentator was right on....8/19 from three. Many coaches, including last year's champions, know the value of the three ball. BU building a team of mobile shooters!!
