If you had told me David Mirkovic and Keaton Wagler would be a better freshman duo than KJ and Will Riley I would have thought you were insane. Incredible finds by the staff.

A win is a win. 11 for 37 from 3 is not good.

Hope we get healthy for Alabama.

Sloppy as hell and still not much in doubt. This team can be so good.

It was a sleepy game, but impressive that we could win with so many players out.

Wagler and especially Mirk with a hell of a game.

Also gotta love AV 101 by the BIG+ crew

David Mirkovic is the best freshman in the country.

They'll both be back next year, I hope.

Never been more frustrated with a 20 point win where we scored over 80. Guys clearly were just going through the motions trying to practice stuff and not hurt themselves for Alabama.

Just gonna forget it and move on.

Only real issue was the Illini letting Colgate get to the rim too easy offensively. Limited their FT attempts and defended the 3 well, didn't turn the ball over and dominated on the boards.

I don't know how anyone could be upset at this game. We didn't shoot it very well...maybe the first extended look at a good zone defense this year.
I'm not worried at all.


We just watched a historic performance from David Mirkovic. Not good. Not great. Historic.

That was special.

Oh yeah we won by 20. Lol.

The sleepiest of sleepy spots. I'm sure Brad couldn't wait for that one to be over. Let's get the UC rocking faithful.
