That's a real possibility. he has great tools, just not a great coach. However, it will still look like a notch on Martin's belt.

Just seen on Facebook that Leron Black proposed to his girlfriend after the game
sure...but if we want to quibble, I'd say TF needs to hit more of his layups, but I'm not quibbling.
TF earned his 2d hero status tonight (after LB as 1st hero). Defense won this game though.

yes, but we absorbed the punches and kept them at bay, not bad
This TEAM continues to improve. Won tonight with only 1 point from Jordan. You can talk individual players up or down but the way they play it takes all 9 of the them. On any night any of them could be the key. Very fun to watch. Expecting great things for the rest of the season. There will be some bumps but the arrow is always pointing up. They lost their big lead but stayed composed and ran the offense. Something that was not happening the past few years. End of game was dribble and give it to Ray Rice or Malcolm. Much better team approach that will pay dividends in future close games.
Harris was impressive as was Trent. Ayo is on a different planet though.
Good win. I really don’t like Martin and I thought Underwood out coached him. Missouri lacked a consistent go to option when it counted. Illinois is starting to figure it out. Frazier’s ability to shoot outside gives him the edge over Lucas. That doesn’t mean Lucas can’t improve that part of his game.
I think my favorite is, "we need to stop playing this game"

It made no sense to me in the spring for Tilman to decommit from Illinois and go to Mizzou. Following this game, it makes even less sense to me.
Great game and a wonderful Christmas gift. I-L-L-

I'd be whining and crying if my board was that hard to look at.
Honestly, that board looks like this one did after NMSU.

Funniest post there is " he's the Bruce Weber of the SEC". Bwahaha
He was apparently suppose to be used more in their offense. He got maybe 6 touches the entire game and was never used to shoot a jump shot. I genuinely feel like he would be a lot better in our offense.
that camp hasn't been making sense for a few years now

Frazier was the #24 PG on 247 last year. Harris? #25.
This is the stuff rivalries are made of.

Not exactly the right thread, but NMSU is leading #6 Miami right now with 2 minutes left in the first half.

No sense in revisiting the NMSU game, but they are a better team than many here believe. Very experienced, very athletic, and they will probably be in the NCAA tournament this year.

It may have had as much to do with the defense we played against him, but Tilmon did not look even remotely like he’ll be ready for the NBA anytime soon.

I think Tilmon would have been the difference in some of those games we lost, he has skills and size. I actually feel bad for him that he chose Mizzou, he would have been such a bigger factor at Illinois.
goes to show that if you can step up in the clutch it overshadows many sins.
90% free throws from a 63% ft shooter.

Uh, let's be honest. The last 5 minutes of this game was dribble and give it to Trent Frazier.
