[QUOTE="KnoxIllini2, post: 1599486, member: 18062"] Glue Guys hold a very special place in my heart. My favorite Illini in history are Lucas Johnson and Robert Archibald. When I watched Fighting Illini basketball growing up, those were the guys that made the winning plays and got under opponents skin. Luckily, they were on the same team and worked wonderfully together. Our 2020-2021 Illini have their own Johnson/Archibald combination in DaMonte Williams and Jacob Grandison. Throughout the season they have made so many little plays here and there to win games. Today was no different. Grandison in the first half did all of the little things. Making extra passes, great cuts, and rebounding. It is in my opinion, he should have had more minutes in the second half, but we won and I am happy because of this next MFer. Gotdam, Motherlovin’, DMFW. He saved one errant pass in the first half that was destined for the fifth row. Then in the second half saved a long offensive rebound to Giorgi to get us another possession. And that defense on Liddell to close out the game?! If you don’t appreciate DaMonte yet, well guess what, he hit the game tying 3 with 90 seconds to go. Just straight up onions, cash money. Grandison and DaMonte are approaching the admiration level of Archibald and Johnson. A few more March performances like today and they’ll be there. [/QUOTE]
