Frazier - knee. Curbelo some kind of muscle pull in his back or neck.

We looked better (not hard) and, more importantly, avoided the worst case scenario.
I want to believe we are still a top 4-seed team, and these guys have the opportunity to show me. If our preseason goals are even remotely achievable, we’ll be on a 5-game winning streak when Arizona comes to town. Let’s get some confidence back vs. UT-Rio Grande Valley and keep moving forward.
Edit: PLUMMER!!!!

yeah that was about the only play I saw where it possibly happened
I really like Hutch at the point forward spot, all things considered.
And Kofi hitting a contested 15 footer late was a good payoff for his work in the off-season.

You know they won’t, sky. This forum is full of negative nancies. But to their credit I think it is cathartic to come and complain with each other.
52% tonight.
arkansas beat them by the exact same score we did

Don't forget Kofi passing out of the double team!
Beat Weber and finally beat Mark Smith. The week isn't totally lost.
K State isn't good but that was a W we still had to have.

No scout, but
Kofi looks improved this year on kicking the ball out. That’s gonna be a big deal.
Hutch is legit. You guys were right. The more he plays the more acclimated he will get. Makes very heady plays.
Have a bad feeling about Trent the way they carried him off.
What’s the deal with Payne? He never plays in the second half. His minutes aren’t that bad.
Plummer has no conscious and I love it. Let it rip.

Curbelo is still hurting from the play where he got the concussion.
Seems to me anyway.

Glad to see Damonte finally knock down a three. If he's got his feet set, the shot still looks great.
And TWO ASSISTS FOR KOFI. Awesome.

And we didn’t even play great. I’d give that actually our B- grade of basketball. Can’t wait to be on our A+ game.
Yes, I realized Arkansas is probably not playing up to their potential right now either. I haven’t really watched.

I think he looked good at the point for this being his first real action under pressure.

We won, but I am afraid we may have taken some major casualties. I hope Trent and Andre are okay.
Guys like Ayo cast a long shadow. Illinois has to find it’s identity. It won’t happen overnight.
I think our ceiling is ridiculously high. We got nothing from Frazier all week and split.

DMFW passed up about a wide open look as you can get earlier in the game. Glad to see him knock one down.
