8-1, 7-1, 6-1 would make me just as happy but screw it 9-0 baby!!9 - 0 run to finish it out
Yes, they did the Michigan game.My dvr didn't record the game is ESPN going to replay it?
We didn’t record it either so as not to jinx Illinois. Looked on ESPNU and can’t find a replay. If anyone sees one on tv, please post. Yes, I know we can watch it again on YouTube, but we’d rather watch on ESPN...Yes, they did the Michigan game.
I'm watching it on my computer now. On the ESPN website. (I stopped for a few minutes to get caught up here.)My dvr didn't record the game is ESPN going to replay it?
Agree, I hope that our post season lasts long enough to see Trent, Adam, and Ayo EACH score >15 points in the SAME game.You can all call me crazy, but I think we looked better the previous 3 games. Without Ayo they played better team ball. I love Ayo but there is too much watching, waiting for Ayo to do it, rather than playing team ball. I do believe this team could go all the way. AC is really special. Send Trent and Da'Monte off with a national title.
That leaves BU free to chew on the nearest striped shirtI think BU let’s assistant coaches handle huddles a fair amount. During timeouts, BU will yell early if pissed or make early emphasis on something like effort or rebounding, but often then assistant takes over.
By "crap" fellow Illini fan --- and yes, I do mean that --- I guess you mean Marcus Liberty, Kendall Gill, Lou Henson, Stephen Bardo, Nick Anderson, Lowell Hamilton, Kenny Battle, Bobby Knight, Bob Lanier, John Havlicek, Dave Debusschere, Tom Izzo, and a few other all-time greats of college basketball that I heard mentioned?No offense fellow Illini fan, however, you would think the biggest game of the weekend would have been announced by two guys actually watching the game and not reminiscing and hawking their crap more than half the time.
I thought the same thing previous 2 games (overall better team ball), but was pleasantly surprised against OSU. I think last few games without Ayo was overall healthy for team confidence and growth.You can all call me crazy, but I think we looked better the previous 3 games.

Without doubt , myself included don`t seem to give Ayo enough praise of his effort on the "d" end , he actually picked apart Walker in todays contest against Ohio State and got him into foul trouble and was non - existent in the second half when their coach put him on the bench , really hats off to Ayo and all his teammates for sure.Contrary to popular belief of some posters, Ayo plays really really good defense!
Absolutely not an excuse but I really think if played MSU at the originally scheduled time we’d have rolled them. They were surging and knew they had their tournament hopes at stake and a illinois didn’t have the right level of effort to take the W. Sucks that it cost us the title when we now have the most wins in the conference this season.11 of 12 to close out the conference slate?????THEY CANT STOP US
Yes. And also didn’t quite understand what he meant by saying that Liddell “had something to prove” against a team that desperately wanted him.I don't if anybody noticed but at one point Dicky V accidentally called Curbelo an All-American because he is senile but I think its also a sign of things to come.
Ya, I saw that. He totally thought it was Ayo that had gone to the rim because Curbelo’s play looked identical to what Ayo has done so many times over the last 3 years. When he said that and made the mistake it really gave me hope for our future because I really think Curbelo will pick up right where Ayo left off (but with more distribution). If we find a way to replace Kofi (and I’m not just talking a single dominant big - lots of ways to win) then I think this may not even be our best team in the next 3 years.I don't if anybody noticed but at one point Dicky V accidentally called Curbelo an All-American because he is senile but I think its also a sign of things to come.
Nothing like playing meaningful top 10 games in March on national tv - come on down recruitsYou know what helps recruiting ? Winning!
Yeah I was screaming at Vitale...this wasn’t a chip on the shoulder game for Liddell, he had a scholarship, we recruited him hard, he chose tOSU. He has no reason to play us like we spurned him.Haven't read any posts yet as I just finished watching game. It amazes me the pounding Kofi takes game in and game out. But if Kofi is even close on defense it's a foul. All I want is a fair whistle both ways. And please stop talking about how Liddell wants to play well against us. We recruited him he decided to go elsewhere.
It gave me chills ... what an incredible culture and chemistry they have built! I can't imagine a recruit that wouldn't want to be a part of it!
This might be my favorite thing ever
