LET'S GO

Okay. Enough of the moral victories. Need ice injected into veins.

 

[WyattEarp]

You can’t freeze the Epps, Beard-O.

 

[WeWillWhen]

*FIGHTING* Illini!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Interesting....entire bench has a blocked shot each.

 

[skyIdub]

I'll take this moment to say it again.

Our Harris/Epps backcourt will be the best in the B1G in two years.

 

[bjp84]

How the heck are we in this game? Crazy

 

[Navy_illini]

BU has a tough job. Players are hot and cold in the same game and has to find the right combo every night

 

[jumpingjack]

My god I love these guys!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

This looked like a 20 point loss 10 minutes ago.

Let’s go win this dam* game now.

 

[InDaAZ]

Illini will be down by 20 soon enough. Poor showing by entire team.

*ahem

 

[JJB]

Usually a fan of Jay but he’s just been repeating the same things the whole game tonight

To be fair, I’d bet Underwood been repeating himself too.

 

[jumpingjack]

They're figuring out that when they bust !!! on defense, they are absolutely everything they want to be

 

[wingnut8492]

I want the win. I love this team. They fought through all of that !!!! like Andy Dufresne and hopefully come out clean on the other side.

 

[skyIdub]

My favorite part of this might be making Iowa and Duke wait around.

I'll take this moment to say it again.

Our Harris/Epps backcourt will be the best in the B1G in two years.

Maybe one year.

TJ time

 

[hoopsfan47]

I bet ESPN paid Higgins to grant us the timeout as Hawkins screamed timeout at him.

Watched Higgins for 25 years. Used make "look at me" calls but he has improved over the years and is respectable. Still hard for me to like him as he was pretty poor in his early MVC years.

 

[Rusty]

ESPN site says 17 TO's for the game so only 6 in the 2nd half. At least some improvement.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

TSJ!!!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Texas is making some tough shots.

 

[hiberto]

there's TSJ!

 

[skyIdub]

Ok TSJ......put your cape on!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

TSJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
