This was a national telecast, right?This win should help us with a few recruits that we are waiting on. Especially since we beat Michigan.
No, waved.Did the coaches shake hands ?

This win was fantastic. Now we must show we can be consistent.
Think ESPN is still nationally broadcast right?This was a national telecast, right?
They showed Chin and JH doing the fist bump at mid court...I think everyone else just a waveNo, waved.
THIS team may not have lost at allHow the hell did this team lose to Miznoz??
Which pretty much explains why Trent seemingly never drove the ball to the rim....and all of a sudden...without Ayo....he did it in the last two games more than his combined efforts all season. This has been a huge and noticeable difference....and very successful and productive. Huge props to Trent Frazier for leading this team to a new level of play. nCan't be understated. Funny thing is, you could tell Ayo would try to start games deferring to others so it wasn't just his show. But something about having the clear-cut best player on the court makes it tough for other guys to grab the reins, I guess. I still want to give Izzo a taste of his own treatment for what he did to Ayo, but this could all be a blessing in disguise. Our freshmen can play and this team is good even without the big two, and now everybody knows it.
I went during last half of second half. Mostly pissed at their team about getting steam rolled and having no heart. Not much complimentary about Illini, and some comments about Illini being smug pricks. But to be honest Illini players do yap a bit, and I can see other fans not enjoying that —especially when getting trounced.Has anyone gone to the Wolverine blog to see what they are saying?
I hope you are right, everyone else deferring, doesn't help the team.Exactly, Ayo isn't a ball hog. He tries to get the team involved. I think when Ayo gets back, the other guys will become more aggressive. and that just makes it even easier for Ayo.
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I don't give a crap what his computer says. It's not accurate.
Feed them crow. It's curbelo's team starting next year.naw man, theres been one or two PG threads where 1-2 guys in particular argue to the death that he isnt good, saying things like 'hel lead us to a first roudn exit' and worse.
I suppose that should count for 2 loses.
Sorry responding to my own post, but someone else wrote the follow-up article for wolverineswire - https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com...higan-basketball-vs-illinois-fighting-illini/. Guess Trent Knoop couldn't type with his foot in his mouth.Saw this article before the game, came up on my Google feed on my phone - https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com...n-basketball-fans-should-know-about-illinois/.
Here's a great quote from the Michigan sportswriter, "Illinois is such a offensive power because they aren’t that great on the defensive end."
Can't wait to read the moron's next article. Kind of wish I had Twitter to troll him.
That their team had an off night and their three best players shot 4-24. Which was, of course an act of God and had nothing to do with the Illini defense. Basically: "Every team plays some clunkers." Literally.Has anyone gone to the Wolverine blog to see what they are saying?
I would give up my spot in a minute. Unfortunately, my spot is sometime late Spring.I say this with all seriousness: can someone in the state of Illinois please find a way to set aside 13 doses of vaccine for this team? Would be heartbreaking for the bug to spoil this run.
9 out of 10......pretty consistent.This win was fantastic. Now we must show we can be consistent.
GrowthHow the hell did this team lose to Miznoz??
