Between the Lovie madness, yesterday and today's game, and now tomorrow, this work week is a whole lot of Illini and not a lot of work. Fine by me!

JCL --- congrats, that is one hecck of a record you just broke. He is going to work on getting to the rim this summer and WATCH OUT!!!

This qualifies as getting to the next line in the bracket. But sure would have been nice to finish stronger...take it either way.

Won with only 6 points from MH. His last 2 were needed though. :) If we can play swarm D like we did first game and keep the O diversified without too much hero ball we can beat PU.

We really needed a win like that. It feels good to get one more quality win before the end of the season

Great win for Illinois and really a shocker, especially when Iowa was considered to win this game as an 86% favorite.

Bring on the Railers of Purdue.

Austin should get to touch the game ball for getting that charge on Jok. And good job KN for aggravating him!

It looked to me like they passed up a couple good looking shots trying to run clock when that 11-2 Iowa run was starting. Playing not to lose can kill you. Glad we hung on for the win!

Mav abused Woodbury today. Another season with the S&C program and he's gonna be a beast. He can carry a lot more on his upper body.

Whitman just keeps looking smarter and smarter.

Seeing yet another end-of-season collapse from Iowa is almost as sweet as winning.

Nice to see us playing our best ball in March.

Illini did a good job on the boards the second half and limited the squawks to second chance points. Good effort overall and great win for the team. Now lets keep the momentum against Purdon't!

Great game, great win, although the way we played for all but the last 4-5 minutes, it should never have been this close. When you go into a stall and play not to lose, you're playing with fire. We just barely got out, without getting burned.

Groce haters seem to be pretty quiet lately.

Good win guys!

Agreed. Thought the effort was great today. The defensive intensity was great. Jok and Uthoff were making some tough shots, not much you can do about that. Beating Iowa when their best 2 players played great, very impressive. Only negative was playing tight at the end.
