DaMonte -- Kofi --- Adam --- Ayo --- Trent --- all played really well down the stretch. I guess that's why they've started each game.

I think a wake up call is good for this team after the last two games as we go into a tough stretch. I'm just glad it came as a close "W" and not a close "L".
3 wins in 3 days... average margin of victory over 40. No need to explore further.
Glad Illini won. Feel bad for Bobcats, they played great and almost pulled off big upset on road.
Just win baby.
Probably a good thing they saw some adversity before Baylor and Duke.

Somebody in the game thread mentioned this as a wake up call. I look at more like a good test of how it will be once we get to the tournament. Things won't be easy and go our way like the first two games. We will face a hot scorer or team and how will we handle that. This was a good test of how we handled it. Won't be the last time we have a game like this for sure.

This is the kind of game you need to put the fear of God into your team. Two easy wins and playing three days in a row is going to lull you a bit. They survived, but hopefully this is an eye opener for this team (particularly our freshmen).

It's good to have a game like that early in the season. We were not God-awful.
DMFW and Ayo do it again. Preston, man, that kid was gassed and still lit us up. Much respect.
I never want to see that Preston kid again. Boy he sure did a number on us.
Virginia lost to San Fran today - I'll take the W, ugly or not.
A year ago we would’ve collectively crapped our pants when Damonte took that late three. Today, I put my hands up to help the refs on the release. D. F. W.
