Two blue collar teams to finish it out
I agree Maverick was absolutely stellar tonight on both ends. Black played very very well too. Nichols and Lucas made some young mistakes but offset them with other huge plays.
Bridges is damn good, but not as good as he thinks he is. Izzo just destroying him on the sideline. That said, that MSU team is thin talent wise and they are still making the most of it. They easily could have lost by 15, but made great plays all through the 2nd half.

Im really happy Tracy, Mav and Malcolm had one hell of a game to finish it out.
...and there was a blow-hard in the game thread that said "This team wants to lose this game". After watching Malcolm's post game interview, I'm pretty sure that this team did NOT want to lose this game. Great effort from start to finish, with no give up at any time, no matter what. We need this same effort on the road this weekend. Can't let up just because they are at the bottom of the league. Hopefully, we can sour their senior day!
Jerk's the better word. Guy wants Groce fired so he comes on whining about everything (I laughed when we had the gall to miss a few shots at the start of the 2nd and that became "infuriating" to him) and openly rooting for these players to lose on their senior night. Hope he enjoys his night.

I remember looking up at the board at one point late in the 2nd half to see we had 14 assists and 7 TOs vs MSU with 7 assists and 14 TOs. Really good defensive effort.
I almost didn't go to this game for some reason but MAN am I glad I went. Crowd was loud for almost the whole game and REALLY loud at the end. Was awesome to be apart of. That's what Illinois home games are supposed to be like!
+1 Thanks Dan
Driving back home after the game. Electric scene in the AH tonight. Haven't heard the home crowd this loud for a game in a long time, since maybe the IU win in 2013. Gutty W. Proud of the seniors, especially MH. Two more wins and I think we're in the Dance at long last.
The Rich McBride shot against Penn State 2005-06 that was called off? Is that the reference?
It's not a reference, he is saying he thinks the Nairns shot was late
