Still good to see DGL get some time. This is a perfect opportunity to help get him up to the speed of this level. Yes, he's got to improve on D, but we will need him later in the year and he needs experience.

What stuff is that? I missed it....
2005 was probably more connected but not by much, but they were #1 for nearly an entire season.
Keep it up and we get higher than #9, probably won't hit #1 this year but who knows.
Yup, if they keep letting MD get 1-1's from inside the 3 pt line, he's going to go nuclear.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Did you miss the two Guerrier buckets out of the post trap…at least one Ty basket I can remember…and probably others?
Absolutely. I meant on Buie specifically
Ball movement is some of the best we’ve seen all year from our guys. We made the Cats pay for the half court trapping over and over. We threw in some Domask booty ball for good measure.
The first time. The second time he helped strip him with Hawkins. He’s learning.

I also "uh-oh"'d
Are we watching the same game??
Not sure I have ever seen an Illini team play better...and I have been watching Illini hoops teams for 65 years. This team has different talents than 89 and 05 (or 63 Big Ten Champs for that matter), but they played for 20 minutes as close to their potential as I have seen. The bubble may burst eventually....it happens to every team...but they know what they can achieve together.
Not sure I truly believe what I am seeing, but a tip of my cap to CoHawk. It seems he is finding his groove and sure made good decisions for that segment of play. He played like a B1G warrior who knows how to handle every challenge with the correct response. Deep bow of respect to him and the entire team.
Glad to see DGL get tick, but BB was licking his chops when he saw who was guarding him. That's Ok...but learn something and get him next chance Dra!!

Young man has to learn by doing, or not doing.

I wish this forum had a downvote option.
This team is ridiculously hungry.
I love that Coleman is in his element. He swatted that last shot like he was personally offended to see that weak !!!! in his house.

Wait a second, this does not check out. Hass said NW was always getting to the paint and we are doing nothing in the paint...
Yeah, that's exactly what happens to freshmen guards in the B10. Seniors just embarrass them.
OK - come out and win the first 5 minutes and put them away.
Baba Boo-hoo-hoo-ie! Marcus Domask: You can’t flippin’ guard me! Go for the steal…gonna drop a Tray on ya instead. I love it) This team has some moxie & some smarts.
Most memorable for me was that Goode and 1 drive. Did not expect him to pull that one out much this year.
Anything to light a fire
I think he just meant Goode struggling with guarding BooB…not struggling overall. He’s been great overall.
