Also made a nice grab on the sideline. Sheesh.
Illinois 85, Maryland 80 Postgame
Dude really waved the white flag with his team down 4 with 40 seconds left. I don't think I've seen a coach do that.
Thought Sideshow Bob played for Nebraska?
At the very least you double the ball. Letting Illinois run time off is a head scratcher

They can take their ball home and keep it there. Add them
to the long list of BIG teams I don’t want to see again this season
A win is a win but still need to clean some things up that will cost you against better teams.
Hard to complain much about Hawkins and Shannon with the way they have played but just need to tweak some decision making. Hawkins can't save a ball by throwing into our own backcourt and can't have Shannon settling for 3s on big possessions when other teams are making a run. He almost bails opposing defenses out instead of getting downhill and stopping opposing teams momentum.
Goode needs to get in the weight room and add some lower body strength. Also probably just needs to take a breath, he's had a rough stretch and just looked out of sorts today.
Man I love Harmon. His stroke looks smooth from the line, I expect him to start knocking down more open 3s. Have a feeling he's gonna hit a very big shot this year.

Every wish I make for the next two years will be for Ty to get a consistent shot from 15'+.
Birthdays, shooting stars, 11:11, coin fountain, green M&Ms, wishbones, find a penny heads up.
All for Ty.
Come on neighbor. Because our free throw shooting today was for real spectacular, we can never in the future at any time complain about lousy FT shooting? okay, I'm excited too!!!111 ILL

You know Juwan still coaches in the B1G, right?
He’s just so good at every other thing on the court. I wish Brad would trust him more down the stretch. We get that Michigan state game with him playing more imo.

they really really are........
props to Doctor Domask for reaching the 2,000 point career total.....
TSJ with big play after big play....
I believe we shot 32-36 FT's.........that's amazing, in a hostile environment , with all the twerp fan telling their age of 1 year old symbols.........LOLOLOLOL................
Cohawk with another great all around game .....I will be surprised if he doesn't get drafted....i really really will...........
Harmon with a big time layup late and 10 total points...................
pru , I bet BU feels good to get his first win in twerp land..............call you later babe.....................

Cheers Illini Nation.......................................

Marcus with the block on Young was a winning play....we practice it every day......
Finally got a win here.....great overall play by everyone............
they shot over 50 % in the first half and were down by 5............

I don't know what TSJ's 40 time would be at the combine , but he is fast...........
So much credit to TSJ if we are going where we want to go.............

Hopefully him hitting those two FTs help!
I agree. I reserve the right to complain about free throw shooting in the future. It’s what we do as fans.
This team looks like it could be a Top 5 team easy. But then there are moments when they just play so dumb. Big to overcome those things tonight. HUGE win!
I gotta be honest. Luke doesn’t get to the line enough for me to feel all that comfortable with him at the line when it matters either.

Can Tyler and Hamer be moved away from Brad on the bench?Almost lost my mind on Hamer telling them not to foul on that last sequence ... What a stupid decision ...
Almost as stupid as Willard's decision making down the stretch ...
But we got the W ... That is all I care about ...
On to Penn State ... Who per sources will be without their leading scorer ... He did not play today and did not travel with the team ...
Expecting another W ... But for now I shall enjoy this one ...
Would much rather have Chester right next to him. Then Tim and Geoff can rotate.
We didn't stop scoring.
That will win it for you often.

This is how I watch games, too…
You go, Justin
Tyler's not the problem ... He coordinates the offense ...
As for the other ... I agree ... Been pretty vocal about it ...
Brad knows ... He sees it ... Just gotta let it play out ...
