The difference for me between today and Feb. 1st is that Ayo and Kofi, though integral to our success, have so much more capable support down the stretch. Miller has come into his own, Grandison is rock solid, and Curbelo has shot up that S curve to the upper portion during the last 2-3 weeks. Add to that the stalwart Trent and DMW (w/o the FFs) and we're a veritable hydra out there. Even BBV played lockdown D today when he was in.

I feel so good about our staying power during March. It's crap shoot getting to April but boy do I feel good about this team and our coaches. Who in America wants to play these guys right now?

And the great thing is Ayo does not feel has has to get his numbers. He sits back until he is needed. He keeps everyone involved. When he has to he goes for it. Everyone on the team seems to accept their roles. Giorgi and DaMonte accept coming off the bench. Frazier does what ever is needed - tough defense and score if needed. Seems like a real team working together.

Brad was probably also screaming a lot.

If you work a job where you have to project your voice that loud and that often, you'd cough, too. (Speaking from experience as a teacher who's currently teaching through masks. I have plenty of my own coughing fits.)
Sorry if brought up earlier, anyone have any idea why Hawkins hasn't been playing?

Warning to the rest of the teams in the NCAA tournament - FEAR THE CHIEF. Consider yourselves warned.

In our previous matchup, BBV was Garza on the scout team. He is also a lot bigger than Hawkins. BBV was excellent in him limited minutes, but I highly doubt he has supplanted Hawkins in the rotation.

Short on time-is Fran’s presser worth watching?
Also, as much as I’d love to see the rematch, how cool is it that the Illini are playing for the BTT title tomorrow but the conference champs* are not?!
