Unfortunately Michigan

 

[Jon]

Petro great pass to 7'2 guy... He gets blocked lol

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

AJ Redd time

Let's get a couple 30 footers

Hey Bill, the Illini travel well because it has always been a basketball crazy school with the largest alumni association. Pretty simple.

Are we going to have the highest score in the 1st round?

 

[illinidday89]

We took and made a lot of 3s this half but it all came off the solid start of going down low the first 4-5 possessions of the second half with success. That's the secret sauce. Please do it again against VCU.

Flame Thrower with the bazooka from deep.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

That was a nice pass from Petro to Z. Too bad Z couldn't convert

 

[PNWIllini]

Relish it

I really wanted to see AJ get a tourney bucket, and here we are. Big Z really looked like he wanted to send it his way out of the double. I love it.

 

[FloridaMan]

AJ!!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Why not allow Mirk to get 30 & 20?

Currently at 29/17/3. Just insane to even type that.

If he got hurt because of some fluke event, as a coach you just destroyed your shot at a deep tourney run

AJ on the sheet!

 

[Jon]

Petro great pass to 7'2 guy... He gets blocked lol

And then a smoked layup

 

[spillini]

65 point half is pretty good

 

[CDRUSN]

The Redd Menace strikes again!
