No more Ben I just don't see how its possible

Big win, awful finish, I wish all games were like the Oregon game.

ChiefKingfisher · Feb 11, 2025

Wow glad I turned it off when we were up big and didn’t check the score again until the game was over. Probably would’ve taken an hour off my lifespan had I watched that.

Some of you need to chill out. Seriously. We led wire to wire against a team that was 12 of 23 from three.

17-8. Next up MSU.

The defensive strategy of letting them pick and pop into like 24 points worth of 3s wasn't to my liking but Im liking the offensive adjustments and inbounding plays.

KJ is still giving up too much on senseless turnovers despite doing some other wow things on offense. He just might be barely in the black with those two metrics.

This team had to figure out their turnovers. The coaching staff has to be better and we have to have some depth.

Ben has to show up some day? Need DGL to get his groove back. Will Tre White ever play again? Lol

A win is a win. Huge one Saturday

The guy was walking on the court half the game. I don’t mind it when the ball is at the other end

Bleedorangeandblue44 · Feb 11, 2025

That was exhausting.

I feel almost as tired as the five guys Underwood decided to never take out must be

Wazababybrucedouglaskid · Feb 11, 2025

Good win! Many a past Illini teams would have folded under the circumstances!

IllinifaninFL · Feb 11, 2025

Help me understand why Johnson and DGL didn't play more. Am I missing something?

Illinifrank67 · Feb 11, 2025

Did Tre White run over Underwoods cat?

Govoner Vaugn Fan · Feb 11, 2025

Arhhhhggg. Ill take the win

maxatlof · Feb 11, 2025

This team is lead by a bunch of freshman and it plays like it. We won't make it to the second weekend of the tournament

jacekpardol · Feb 11, 2025

I love how Brad keeps Ben out there for FT shooting late in games and he’s shooting 63% from FT.

DeeIL89 · Feb 11, 2025

I do not want to see Hamer back next season that's for damn sure.

He must have criticized Ben H.

We let Biladeau have a career game and survived. Got to stay focused at end of games. Good win. Keep staking them

Now that’s funny

Nohops 73 · Feb 11, 2025

If they fade down the stretch like this in a tournament game I may have to double up on all my heart meds!

Oracle21 · Feb 11, 2025

I actually think the refs hate Cronin. So he’s not going to get his team any help on calls. That last tip out was def a foul on Tomi.

Illinois now 16-1 when they score at least 79 points.

Well, it starts with not letting them have wide open threes.

Also not taking super fast 3s on the offensive end when you got a 16 point lead with 6 minutes left

SVSTORM · Feb 11, 2025

Saw Hamer get an earful multiple times. Deservedly so.
