I thought he played well in his 15 minutes.Gee, I wonder what everyone thinks about Damonte?

DW played ok. Had some key boards and plays on a day that was off for AG ou there than a bank in 3I thought he played well in his 15 minutes.
We are literally a 30 footer away from being tied for first. How about a l iui title positivity. I know it will get more difficult hut we are heading in the right direction. What team has what your asking for thus year? None.I am just wondering when the time will come when we can have 5 players on the floor that are a threat to score in more than one way.
Every b10 fan is saying the same thing.This is an honest appraisal on myself. I feel like I'm not enjoying the season. It's like I'm waiting for a disaster and scouring through the schedule on how we can get 6 or 7 more wins. I should be enjoying this so much more than I am. Intervention needed.
This Damonte venom is going a little far. Griffin was so far off with his shot today it was ridiculous he shot an airball and a banked 3. Damonte plays pretty darn good defense and rebounds very well. Plus he had 3 assists today. And we are 5-2 in the big ten. Something is working.I am just wondering when the time will come when we can have 5 players on the floor that are a threat to score in more than one way.
Where is NC in the conference? Isn’t it a shame.4 n a row baby! A win is a win and I'll take it.
On a side note if the Dookies can lose 2 n a row and Carolina keeps sucking man this is a hell of a week!
Go Illini!
I've been critical of DMW. Obviously he doesnt bring a lot offensively. But it's strange to me that so many people seem to watch our games actively waiting for DMW to fail. I'm not one who thinks being a fan means never being critical of your team or its players, but he's a key piece of a team that appears to be on the brink of dragging this program out of the cellar and we treat him like he's Tom Coverdale.
Anyway, big win. This is the team I signed up for this season.
At 7 more wins, we are 12-8 in the conf, 20-11 overall, with a 1st round bye in the conf tourney, favored to win at least one more, entering the Dance. @ 6, probably the same result, just a slightly lower seed in the Dance.Every b10 fan is saying the same thing.
I think DMW "can shoot" but he chooses not to and clearly lacks confidence. I wish he would penetrate more.Yeah I don't get this either. He played pretty well tonight. Swift passing and very good defense. Big blocked three in the first half to boot.
Can't shoot however. Lacking confidence.
Stealing two on the road for this team would be quite the trick. Let's hopeAt 7 more wins, we are 12-8 in the conf, 20-11 overall, with a 1st round bye in the conf tourney, favored to win at least one more, entering the Dance. @ 6, probably the same result, just a slightly lower seed in the Dance.
Should sound pretty good. Every game going forward in this conf, this year is winnable or losable. We have played pretty well over the last 5, MSU 2d half aside. But ask Izzo about his trip to Purdue. I'll take recent success over fear from earlier this year or last. 7 home games left, sounds like 5-2 at the worst and we have NW back in Evanston, we'll steal another on the road, at least, there's your 7. No doubt most won't be easy, but nether will wins for the opponents.
There were a lot of possibilities for today, and only one (wire to wire blowout win) would’ve been enjoyable. That’s where we’re at. Home games are must win, and this one most of all. Now if you didn’t enjoy the Wisconsin game, that’s a problem.This is an honest appraisal on myself. I feel like I'm not enjoying the season.

Yes, BUT ..... What concerns me is we could not pull away at home against them and yet again we let someone go off on a career day. We really did not play very inspired on D. Not sure why we felt like we had to help on D alot and leave the 3 point line open.Ranked teams that lost to non-ranked teams today:
#4 Auburn - AWAY
#5 Butler - AWAY
#12 West Virginia - AWAY
#16 Wichita St - HOME
#20 Colorado - AWAY
#21 Ohio State - AWAY
#24 Illi... - HO...
Oh wait, no, we won.
It’s a good day.
Stop betting!! I know you would have enjoyed that $500. But I'm glad we won, regardless of the margin.....This is an honest appraisal on myself. I feel like I'm not enjoying the season.
