The game completely changed after this moment. What an awesome group of guys!
Huge win. Fun times for us Illini fans right now.
TJD talks that big game about taking Kofi out of his element. And then Durr does better on Kofi than TJD ever has.
I said the same thing. Stand there, dribble, smile and say "we win"!
Ayo meant so much to this program, but I think you could say the same thing about Trent's time here. He's been a leader for sure.

True. And as @blackdog pointed out, Kofi didn't need to pack his lunch.
Coach's dream scheme of a dominant big man surrounded by shooters came into focus in the second half.
Illini need to continue find that balance , we are hard to beat when we do.

That was Kofi’s best defensive game as an Illini.
Indiana went on a little spurt after the weird Belo trip/Goode intentional sequence to go up 19-11. Illinois outscored them 63-38 the rest of the way.

I don’t want to jinx us, but it finally feels like everything is coming together for this team. Guys are healthy. We’re going 10 dudes deep in our rotation with freshmen giving meaningful minutes. Kofi is dominant. Trent is playing lights out. DMW doing the little things. Plummer and Grandison starting to hit shots again. Payne being a value-add in spot minutes. Hawkins making some great effort plays on both ends. Belo is a spark off the bench and getting his footing. Team (Kofi + Monte) really just needs to hit free throws at a higher clip and keep Kofi out of foul trouble. That’s it. Do that, and you’re a FF team.
To be clear, I love it too and specifically because it’s insulting. Like “you’re not worth the time” type insulting.
Yet another huge win, great way to start a Saturday.

It was a rough day for TJD, but on the bright side he can now go into the IU locker room and write "Northwestern" on the whiteboard.
Great showing today, Illini, this preps us for the next B1G away game!!

Best defensive player in the B1G ?????..........TJD ??.................yeah , um NOT............................TRENT FRAZIER B1G DPOY...................................
I pretty drunk right now , but I know a FF team when I see one .....University of Illinois Fighting Illini
And took his lunch money too.
It’s just a terrible matchup for Davis. Doesn’t mean he’s not a good player. Kofi is a problem.
Thought we were gonna get Bo’d after that missed trip and the flagrant on Goode. Luckily not too bad after that.
