I made the mistake of going to one of their boards last night. OMG the crying and whining. The fan base, except for a few reflects their whiney coach. 90% of the comments were complaining about the refs and the not so subtle "Thugs" comments. It was embarrassing. Perhaps don't allow the opposing team to own the paint, and have your POY clog the lane.

Bohannon had on out of body shooting game for this season - but got abused by AC more than a few times and I am sure a freshman doing that to an 8th year player probably stung.

Love it. If we make even 33% of our threes (5-15) we win by 17 pts!
Another stat sheet surprise and evidence of "everyone contributes":
Q: Who was Illinois leading rebounder?
A: D. Williams - 9 (with only 20 min. playing time) followed by Kofi - 8, THEN Curbelo - 7, Ayo - 7. (Totals ILL 42 - IA 35)
Normally has been Jermaine in that limited role. Clue to the future?

Just thing how Garza might have performed if he was not made to look clumsy and unathletic
Agreed KC had the better game, particularly on defense.I think it is more of Bossman has the body to body up Garza.

Cockburn leads Illini into Big Ten tournament title game
Illinois will face Ohio State in Sunday's title game.
“I thought Kofi was just great,” coach Brad Underwood said. “I thought the job he did in the first half, he was just dominant and not just because he had 18 points but because of his defense.”
But it was the matchup between Cockburn and Garza that was one of the prime reasons why Illinois’ boisterous fans made the short trek across the state line to Indianapolis. They made themselves at home, cheering loudly each time Cockburn made a play, while booing the foul calls against Illinois.
“It’s tough,” Garza said. “You know he’s a tremendous big man. We’re both being physical with each other. It’s just what I’m going to have to deal with and I’ve been dealing with in the Big Ten for a while now.”
The difference was Cockburn’s supporting cast.

All tears taste great, but those Hawkeye one’s are always just a little bit saltier.Here is a link from an Iowa sports blog:

The difference between him and me is that there is no team I hate more than Iowa now, in the past, and forever.Here is a link from an Iowa sports blog:

And in the two areas that are potentially are biggest weaknesses, we were solid:
Freethrows
Iowa 11 for 14 (78.6%)
Illinois 15 for 20 (75.0%)
Turnovers
Iowa 12
Illinois 8
If we continue to maintain those levels, it’s going to be a really fun couple of weeks!
and playing excellent d 100% of the time we don't have the ball and he's on the court.

Ayo did a great job of guarding Wieskamp in the second half without hurting his offensive output.....
The best thing is with Garza leaving, I feel like Iowa and Fran are going back to the mid to lower level of the B1G. That does hurt, he have been there before. It makes fans angry. T- minus 5 years before Iowa and Fran part ways imho. We are on the rise they are on the decline. Angry little yellow fellas.
Not saying it wasn’t a foul, but started as an arm bar to the chest on a rebound attempt. Player used arm to shift it up to neck.

I cannot imagine anyone who has played college ball complaining about that call. 100% of the time if you bring your extended arm down on a driving offensive player it will be called a foul. That seems like a pretty basic action to avoid on defense unless you are fouling intentionally and trying to prevent the 3 pt play.
The hate for Curbelo over there is strong. They are in for a long three more years! LOL!
Their backup center, Nunge, looks like a really good player. They'll still have Bohannon, Fredrick, Wieskamp, and Murray. They'll still be in the upper-half of the B1G next year.
