Iowa will cool off.
Got to keep helping with Garza.

Wieskamp too.We're up 8 at half and I'm mad b/c if Bohanon ever missed we'd be destroying them right now
When you rake across a guy on a layup, the trailing ref will call a foul. They should know that.
I’m amazed at how good Iowa is and how much better we are now than last March when we beat them in the SFC. Just Amazing.Illini playing simply good basketball on both ends. Iowa shooting lights out down by 8. The more they play, the more the Illini standard of play becomes set at a higher level than we saw in 2020. Hope that mindset and confidence becomes permanent. Iowa sure has great shooters but their lack of defense is the difference..plus willingness to get into the paint and fight for the bloody rebounds. Illini have 4 turnovers which is huge....and could be a catalyst for raising their level of play to unbeatable. Free throws will likely always be the Achilles Heel.
it was obviousHe clearly hit Adam across the forearm. Not sure how announcers missed it on the slo mo replay
The joy they exude. Right on brother. That’s the best part for me.I mean, on some real s***:
This Illini team, the way they play and the joy they exude, is beautiful and honorable enough to earn redemption for a decade and a half of overflowing humiliation for U of I athletics.
How do you watch this team play and not fill completely to the brim with pride.
F'real.
After viewing it again, I think he definitely made contact with Miller's forearm. Clear foul.He clearly hit Adam across the forearm. Not sure how announcers missed it on the slo mo replay
the big difference to me is depth and shooting.....depth gives us a longer defensive intensity and shooting get us points.I’m amazed at how good Iowa is and how much better we are now than last March when we beat them in the SFC. Just Amazing.
I was at the game last night and told my friend how much I could see the joy and excitement in their faces. I think they were elated to be playing in front of fans and hearing us scream for them. It was great to see. They are living this up and their play on the court is reflecting that. I love this team!!!The joy they exude. Right on brother. That’s the best part for me.
Now is Ayo timeKofi with 18 points and 4 rebounds. Ayo kind of quite 6 points and 6 assists. If Miller or Grandison can hit a few 3's we should be in good shape.
I absolutely hate Bohannnnon and Weiskamp. Today, all season, and last year and the year before that. They throw it down the stadium steps and it goes in.Wieskamp too.
18 in a halfKofi making Garza look ordinary today
And we're not making them. Grandison has taken only one shot. Curbelo launched one and shouldn't have.If we can make a few threes, and Iowa starts missing more, we can run away with this game.
or + for Kofi's18 in a half
This game may have a six figure hit on Garza's first contract.
