Dainja continues to impress. Easily the biggest surprise for me this year.
Solid D, impressive footwork with soft hands, nice ball fake at the end.

Gutsy win. Ball movement was not great tonight, but still better than the dumpster fire we were watching a few weeks ago. The guys are clearly trying and some hiccups against good teams are to be expected. To come out with the win anyway shows a degree of toughness a lot of folks doubted this group had not long ago.
Edit to add a point: Big props to Epps for taking on more playmaking duties than he may have expected.

Which is more likely? The guy with the knee injury got subbed in even though the clock didn't stop...or that box score is wrong?
Getting really tired of worrying about potentially season ending injuries vs izzo.

Prayers up for Sencire! Hope it’s not serious.
MSU is a damn good team and that was a really fun game. If we played them at their place on a Friday the score would have been reversed.

Your lips to Chief's ears!
Mayer being able to play with fouls was huge. Dainja was a beast. Awesome team win
I hope Harris is not hurt too bad. Need Goode back soon
Also if Hall hurt his foot again that will not be good for MSU

Nada ..that was Epps
Who has more quality wins than the Illini? Keep building that resume!
Simple things like consistently boxing out the right guys does that. We just seemed to make the wrong call on that for a good chunk of the game.
THAT was "TOUGHNESS".
Mayer playing that well with fouls should be noted.
Hoping his arc continues.

That’s the starting line up.. Harris was not on the floor the last 7-8 mins of the game.
He was back in the handshake line at the end of the game

No skimping on the togetherness either.

Dainja and Mayer were spectacular... As was TSJ first half... Wasn’t CoHawks best night but he fought his balls off second half and impacted the game in closing time... Culture wins... LFG
In the modern era of basketball I can’t remember a team that can’t or won’t shoot the 3 like this MSU team. Like you only took 7 threes and made 0?
His ft look so much better. Just a freshman DD.
