Man. Watched this game at a Bdubs. First time in a long time! Hardly paid attention to the game (a very good thing!)Blows my mind that Ayo had a double double. He's just that smooth and effortlessly dominant.

I'd say it doesn't get any filthier than that, but then again we've seen even sicker moves from Belo. Like his patented Brownian motion dribble away from/toward basket around/through tall trees and then somehow hit a successful reverse layup with a guy eight inches taller draped over him. Or the dive-on-floor / lose 12 square inches of skin / wrestle ball from confused point guard / roll on floor / throw bounce pass while still on floor to streaking Ayo for uncontested flush.

He's like a human mad-libs-in-motion except that with each passing game an increasing number of these random permutations make perfect sense afterward.

Harlan called belo " Houdini "..........among other adjective's..................................

Quick shout-out to Kevin Harlan for announcing every player's name that came in at the end, which comes across as a rare thing to me, as usually announcers in games like this are talking about something other than the game. But he mentioned BBV, Underwood, Lieb, Sevren, Hawkins, Griffith, along with the 5 extras Drexel put in at the end.

Great job by the announcers, pure professionals.
Too bad the game got buried on TNT.
This was pure entertainment.

Miller was really aggressive without being out of control. I’ll definitely take 5 more efforts likes that from him.

With our run through the BTT and our current run in the NCAA tourney, everyone's getting some invaluable experience for next year. That's how you build upon success.

I watched this game on a treadmill (I don't have cable but I work/workout at a Y that does). As I was walk/jogging the 8 miles the game took (thank God it was a quick game) it suddenly dawned on me how fitting it was to watch Underwood's Illini... while on a treadmill. :) Glad it was a blowout. Loved every minute of it!

That studio crew of four is really bad. Not insightful at all, not glib. Barkley doesn't belong on college sports. Katz we are used to from the BTN. As for the other studio crew, I really liked Kellogg when he was younger, but not he's just that good any more.

yea, I really dont like that TNT NBA studio crew with their schtick . Never understood why people like Ernie "like my bow tie? " Johnson.
I am fine with a dude wearing the bow tie RARELY, but when they wear one all the time, or way more than 1/2 the time, I automatically dont like them

Barkley mails it in . I think he gets briefed for a total of 2 minutes, 3 minutes before the cameras go on.
