Illinois 60, Penn State 55 Postgame
No love for DMW
Really, WTF
He is going to do great things for us.
This is really scary! I really had to pass this up! Omg!
Coleman Hawkins is the key to this team in close games, he's got rebounding instincts like Wilt
Well, ya I guess a little, but he missed some easy ones (at least one layup I remember) and was pretty much in slow motion all first half. Like I said, I'll take the win, but was hoping for renewed energy after all the Final Four talk yada yada....
I'm not sure why Kofi doesn't play more engaged all the time on the perimeter, but towards the end of the game on Pickett, he was fleet of foot and I thought played really serviceable defense. Why can't he play that way more often?!
That is the least fun I’ve had watching a basketball game since the Groce era.

Sorry but anytime DMW shoots more shots than Kofi that is not efficient. Not just in how many pts each player produces but also in how that creates offense for others. Glad DMW woke up and hit some shots tonight but we have to feed Kofi. Edit: Want to be clear that I am focusing on game plan and not players. Amazingly appreciative of DMW!

After three years, what more can he do? The better question is, why should he have to do anything? This is a guy, presumably, playing his last college games.
Better rest up. Those damn sqwakeyes will be bringing it Sunday.
That's the tragic beauty of the Illini rule - it will never help Illinois
Positives:
1.) Trent’s effort on D
2.) Coleman’s continued spark
3.) Freethrow shooting (huh?)
4.) Ugly wins are still wins
Negatives:
1.) Kofi looks tired
2.) Rebounding used to be a BIG part of our identity…now it’s well…not
3.) Defense was not up to snuff
4.) It’s March…if it’s a loose ball…get on the damn floor!

Wilt Thompson, the guard from my high school?
Kofi's endurance is shot. It's as if he's all fast twitch muscle fiber type. Need BBV back to spell him.
Be angry from the bell to the end. Maybe play against his friendly demeanor.
Coach would tell you he prefers a pissed Kofi.
At least we get 2 hours more rest than they get!

We win. And he shot because he was open. Kofi was doubled in a zone the whole night.

Yes. I made a clarification to my comment. Very greatful that DMW showed up offensively.
Hope Grandy is ok.
IF it hit Kofi's finger at all the rotation of the ball would have changed. That's "review 101"!!! Terrible!!!
Be glad you didn't suffer through weber destroying a program.
