Another game show bit on the postgame TNT? Wow, third graders back in charge. Jeesh
I THINK I agree. VCU was stellar too. Defense has improved geometrically these last two games.Defense won this game.
Really the best D we may have played all year.
And Ladies…Gentlemen... it has been a pleasure sharing this stress with you
I want to like this multiple times. To the Nth power.And Ladies…
This was the lone turnover (was ruled an offensive foul)And the one turnover should have been a Houston foul.
Entertained?I am happy.

With Boswell out…Got about 6 minutes of our A game on offense and it was enough.
Could you imagine our fans if that was the free throw disparity, yet some on here complained ALL GAME.I said in the pregame thread the key to this game would be FTs.
IL- 12/21
Hou- 2/2
Then dominating them on the glass. That was the most impressive thing tonight: 37-25.
IL out-toughed Houston and I doubt that happens much to the Cougars. Not a pretty game but the right mentality. Beating Houston at their own style of game says a lot about this team.
One more to go. And 2026 Iowa is way different than 2024 UConn
