AJ continues to do whatever is asked of him...no complaint...no quit. I love TF, and if he is the heart of this team, AJ is the soul.

Frazier > Lucas
Let's be honest, if we had to pick one game to win this year, this was it. I hope it's the beginning of a great run. But if this ends up being a "transition year", we still have this game.

I'm going to hate to play against Blake Harris for the next 3 years, that kid is ANNOYING!
He was annoying and very effective tonight. Ayo will do horrible things to him next year however

This is a meme I never, ever expected to see here.
Man I wanted to keep that first half juju going and crush them, but a win is a win, is a win. Trent Frazier is cold-blooded.
In tough games like that, the holes in our roster get exposed. We need more length and athleticism in the wing, and size down low. Regardless, this program, with this coaching staff, is trending up.
Big Win, tough to watch in the second half, our house had a lot of nervous people. Nice to see the guys close one out. Nice game to learn from..and with a win..
This team finally gets a taste of a big win. Great ball pressure all night but Illinois was fortunate that Mizzou missed several open looks. Hopefully now we get more Frazier and AJ and less TJL and Alstork. I like Alstork’s rebounding and defense but he gives it away on the other end. And TJL needs to be shooting before AJ gets to the gym in the morning. Frazier, Black and Smith will take this team as far as it can go. Would like to include AJ in that equation but BU won’t give him enough minutes for some reason.
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.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.
YES!!!!!!
I was too nervous to even watch the game. Got it queued up on DVR, though.
Man, Christmas is always sweeter with a win in this game. But this year? This is as sweet as it's been in a long, long time.

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

Well they tried to blow it. Finally due to win one. I guess a 20 or lead at half is hard to blow.
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.
Anyone know a good miznoz board?
