And Leron is the biceps
This is Frazier team now....sorry TeJon, he even sees it though. BU loves Frazier, and it shows, and he should...love watching the kid! He does have some Dee Brown in him for sure!
Recruit kid, Recruit....play well and they will come!

Absolutely right. For those of us from the Metro East or southern Illinois area, this game is HUGE.
And considering the storyline with Cuonzo and Tilmon......man, this is the most special Braggin Rights win I can remember since breaking the skid in 2000.
He was annoying and very effective tonight. Ayo will do horrible things to him next year however
I heard a MIZ-NOZ chant in the halls after the game.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

For a brief moment I had forgotten that we get Ayo next year and now this makes me very very happy.
This is a meme I never, ever expected to see here.

Well they tried to blow it. Finally due to win one. I guess a 20 or lead at half is hard to blow.
Completely agree. With the roster we have need to fill those holes. Tejon needs to hit foul shots, reduce fouls, be a shot making threat. Alstork needs to be more aggressive and look for his shot as he cuts toward basket.
Curious what the +/- with Tejon, Smith, and Alstork vs Demonte, Jordan, and Frazier. The 2nd line-up seems to have more tools from defense, shooting, dribbling, pasding, rebounding.
Yes, winning was the one thing, finishing up a game
I actually like to see the Frazier/Alstork combo, lets face it...Alstork is not offensively all that was advertised, but is FAR and away so much better defensively than we could have hoped for...Frazier was advertised as an offensive player, but not nearly as much as Smith, and even possibly rated below Williams...
Let them play together and do their thing, Alstork can be the defensive guard presence and Frazier can continue to roll with the offense sets. BU knows what he has and AYO/Frazier combo with Williams/Smith backing up will be something to watch!

You said it. I didn't realize just how much I HATED Mizzou until these past nine months. Most satisfying BR win ever for me.

Dude. To nervous to even watch? The fun of this is being nervous and watching. This is supposed to be fun. I don't think you're doing it right
It was not AJ's best game, but you're right he still contributed.
Fully expected the game to tighten up after half. That's just the way it goes, and the refs helped that along a bit around the 15 min mark of 2H.
But really, we just need to make free throws -especially the front end of one and ones. Would have made this one all fun instead of late game angst. But Trent's two at the end were huge. Great win all the same.

Oh, I've been given the choice by the wife: control your emotions during the Illinois-Missouri game, or DVR it and watch it later.
There's no way I can keep my emotions in check for this game. Any of the other 30+ games? Sure. Not this one.
Mizzou next years loses 2-3 key seniors and Porter. Possibly Tilmon, but Illinois loses only Alstork but gains Ayo. Be great to land a solid grad transfer big.
Harris was a top 100 guard... somewhere on the Mizzou side they're going "that Frazier kid is gonna kill us these next few years"

Underwood should use this game to illustrate the power of the big halftime lead. Hopefully the players will better understand now why it's so hard to win when you come out flat.
Tilmon leaves for the NBA.
Anyone know a good miznoz board?

Lots of whining and crying going on over there.
