[aaeismacgychel]

So far this is the most energy I've seen from KJ in months. He looks fantastic tonight

Refs letting the boys play

 

[BBlock24]

Okay Tre White

 

[New Creation]

Tough fade away off the back board shot by Tre. Refs are allowing a lot of contact both ways.

 

[Zorak]

What a move! Go Tre!

 

[FoundersClub]

Dante Maddox. That’s a name.

 

[AyoDos11]

That 3 died on the rim so hard I thought my screen froze

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Jakucionis very good to start IMO.

 

[mdsimon2]

I’ve never seen it so easy for us to drive the ball. Very promising.

 

[sacraig]

Toni clearly going to be the difference tonight.

Tomi is the difference for our entire offense and not-so-secretly has been all season.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Jakucionis very good to start IMO.

That’s a very good opinion LFG

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

They've honestly not done badly guarding inside. It's outside that's been a problem.

 

[ginabackes00]

Amazing showing for the Illini. Keep up the noise!

 

[Highlander]

We can beat the Mouseketeers!!

 

[FoundersClub]

Biggest thing here is that we look very confident.

 

[foby]

Jakucionis very good to start IMO.

Best he's looked in a while

 

[DeeIL89]

We're settling in. Got to defend the 3 better but overall good play so far.

 

[Zorak]

I'm not sure if I'm having fun or having a heart attack.

 

[so illini]

Refs letting the boys play

That Should be in our favor

 

[sacraig]

KJ is so aggressive in this game. I love it.

But he's aggressive AND under control. That's the important part.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Pretty good first 8 minutes. I like how this looks for the Illini so far.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Amazing showing for the Illini. Keep up the noise!

Have a couple of Illini hater friends that admitted the Illini fans have taken over Milwaukee

 

[zentrails]

Refs letting the boys play

0 fouls on us, especially good that Tomi has none

 

[Rusty]

Crowd sounds awesome on tv!!

 

[JJE]

Every single kid in America practiced that shot Tre White hit pretending you were in the NCAA tournament.
