Illinois 79, Wisconsin 69 Postgame
The Galloping Ghost
- Washington, DC
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-a$$ team. That was incredibly fun. If we play with this level of effort, intensity, and execution from here on out we can still make some serious noise.
Clearly we won because underwood stopped yelling so much
Great response after a brutal week, and extremely tough month. Hopefully beginning of a long resurgence.

- Chicago but not there anymore
The correlation is irrefutable
Good win. We'll see these guys again in a few weeks up in Madison. Will be interesting to see how that game goes if Wahl plays.
Making shots cures a lot
Shannon made it a point to lead today. Making sure everyone's in the huddle (even saw him yell "Matt!" when Mayer was a little late getting there -- TSJ must have forgotten that his first name is Michael), max effort on defense. Good stuff.
We needed that
The Galloping Ghost
- Washington, DC
Getting a ranked team without their leading scorer was a nice bit of luck. Glad we took advantage.

- New Orleans
Remember that time when the team was collapsing, several players were transferring immediately and we would miss the tourney?? That was awesome""""
Hope.
And a win that adds mass to the resume.
Anyone who wants to understand how human emotions will forever deprive our species of enduring peace and stability should read the Northwestern postgame thread and then this one. Our fragile, powerful minds; capable of rejoicing for and of despising the very same thing with equal ferociousness, within but a span of hours.
Our depression and despair. Our pain. It resulted from being unable to imagine - to see within our minds - how we might escape the suffering of wilting dreams and reclaim the happiness to which we feel entitled.
But this win. This win neutralizes a lot of poison, for both players and fans. This win visualizes exactly how we will be beautiful once again, all of our precious jewelry brought out for full display.
Hope.
A win we badly needed. Now let's make a run.
All things considered, not our best ā but our most important win of the year.
Not a bad day for Illini sports!
Skyy or no Skyy, we all just want W's. This was a good start.
