He clearly hates Iowas so that might explain that
That's kind of the point, but it's not a measure of effort. Trying hard doesn't win games. It's a measure of production when it matters. He didn't play for the last 8+ minutes of the game and was 2-11 prior to that. I'm not sure what your angle is here.
Illinois wins. That's what matters. I-L-L

Was he the ref that Kofi clobbered and had to leave the game ?
Playing freshmen is hard to do. You can't bench him because you can kill his confidence. You don't want him looking over his shoulder whenever he makes a mistake. He and Curbelo are their future. Have to have them out there experiencing this and pushing through it. They are. I am wondering about the decision to not have Hawkins in there for one minute. That's two games in a row. No questions asked about it in the presser. I'm surprised.
43 minutes for Trent and 38 for the big fella. Glad we had that break before iowa. Granted, it was the longest regulation time I've ever watched but still, that's a ton of minutes.

BU said Giorgi had a +/- of +23
my angle is he impacted the game
10 pts, 6 boards, making the right read on the plays that got trent 8 pts in 1 minute to get the lead back, and causing turnovers are impacting the game no matter what you say. Between the 10 pts and making the pass on the 8-0 trent run, thats 1/4th of our points.
You can have an off game but also impact the game.
the entire game matters in an OT game we win by 4
fine if you disagree
No one has under valued Trent hes under valued himself it just goes to show how far expectations have fallen for him when everyone's all googly eyed about him scoring 19 pts when honestly he should be averaging 15+ pts every game even with Ayo because opportunities he just hasn't made his shots .
If nothing you saw from Trent Frazier was impressive tonight, then you need to go rewatch the game, and that’s that...

As an indication of the defensive effort that our perimeter guys, including AM, gave... Indiana only attempted 8 (!) 3 pointers for the night.
There were so many fouls called that Augie fouled out twice. Brad put the officiating question to bed in the PC
Indiana was just terrible during those years. Everybody beat them. Those were my favorite Indiana teams. Haha
And go figure, Trent with a -8. +/- stats for one game are totally worthless.
Why would you make anyone rewatch that game?
We actually guarded them pretty tightly on the perimeter. It was easy to overlook because of the officiating, but our defense was nails tonight.
If you can complete that game as an Illini fan and not appreciate Trent Frazier, then you deserve a second serving of that 2 hours and 45 minutes lol
If any Illini fan can watch that game and not appreciate Trent, then they deserve a second serving of it

Kofi with whack to the top of his head. Knocked him out of the game.
I believe their previous season low was 10 against Texas. That's pretty impressive work.
I agree. I think Trent is a victim of how people remember his previous seasons. He is basically shooting as well as he ever has this year, he just doesn’t shoot as much. Tonight he took 11 shots, which I believe now gives him 2 games this year he’s attempted 11 or more shots. I believe he had something like 20 such games his freshman year and about 15 his sophomore year. To me, given what he brings defensively now, this is his best season. Another impressive thing about his game tonight was in this foul fest, he played 43 minutes with only two fouls. That was huge with both Ayo and Curbelo in foul trouble.
No doubt the officiating was bad tonight, but at least the number of fouls called on each team was about the same.
