Big win.

Game's out of reach, but Will make these FTs.

We NEED to hire an inbounds consultant for pressure

KJ loses ball but gets lucky it went to DGL. He’s gotta stop losing focus

 

[TheGMan]

Today is great proof that there is no reason to ever again shoot 42 3's in a game.

Unless you are making them…

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Undefeated in February!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CleverHandle1]

Thank U!

Pretty shaky sequence there but no harm done.

 

[Illinifrank67]

I’ll say it. We’re playing 4 on 5 with Hum-brick-house in the game.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Yep. The 1 in 4 out concept is absolutely stupid. When you take it to the rack and play D.....good things happen.

 

[FloridaMan]

I’m here to eat crow. We looked soft but this team really fought back. Happy to be wrong!

Same. We looked dead until BU finally decided to put a team on the floor to drive the lane.

Extremely tough spot to inbound

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

18 point second half for Riley, 23 for the game.

 

[DevILLDawg]

Inbound to your shortest player in the corner on a trap press....

Brad Underwood is not out of the !!!!in weeds with me. That is just audaciously bad. And we did it 2 times in a row!

Other than the Maryland game a lot of it has been for sure.. Thier size was an issue with no Tomi.

I only kind of agree. Their size would be a problem but our entire team looked like it didn't want to be there that game.

 

[SweetLou2020]

It’s much more about scrapping the chuck and duck 3 ball philosophy.

 

[DeeIL89]

I think Will had KJ open for that inbound attempt.

 

[nyc_illini]

it's clear kj is kinda in his own head this game

 

[biglug58]

Refs have been pretty innocuous. Even DJ Baldhead. Shocking

 

[zentrails]

I really do think the biggest issue has been mental. I think we had our confidence shaken and couldnt shake it. Maybe this will help.

Plus Brad cutting back on the 3's FINALLY was key

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Man 30 min for Tomi. That alone is impressive. Couple that with a double-double. Incredible

 

[Manual3for4peat]

He’s gonna go pro huh?

 

[RDS]

Sink these KJ
