I don't want to be accused of being someone who complains about the officiating every time we lose. That being said, we won and the refs really sucked. That was not a neutral court. Makes the win even sweeter.

I really like that this was not long ago.
Exactly, we didn't look great against Syracuse and win by 30... Have a horrendous 10+ minute stretch on a neutral site against #2 and win going away in OT.
Our ceiling is a giant party in Houston.
I would think the time missed to the knee injury is still at play. Maybe he just needs more court time to be sharp.
Did he have that bad a game? He was in foul trouble. I didn’t really think that he was that bad. Just the officials took him out of the game.
I don't know stress. And I DID NOT kill my sister-in-law!
Last time we beat an AP top 5 team in OT is 1966

Anyway let's just say it: we need to be less of a mess if we want to be the kind of team everyone can see is possible
I knocked myself out one year on a buddy's garage wall and slept it off in the conveniently located dog bed.
You are correct.
Or what happens when really blocks aren't called charges.
And after missing the late shot against Maryland…kid is a winner
Good thing we have all year to get better

Just to have a poor game in front of all of them...and then come back undeterred. Very strong for a freshman.
BU is 12-5 last 17 games vs AP top 10. Wow
Skyy will be fine. I love that the Illini have other options. When he cuts down on TO's and plays a little better on defense he will be in there at crunch time too. Coach correctly just played the hot hand tonight and the boys took over.
Epps, Harris, Clark. Wait till the BT heats up. We are going to be magic.

Brads not perfect but I love him
Yep, Brad and the rest of the guys should get some kind of award for this recruiting class.
Epps and Harris alone... And Skyy is gonna be just fine. Dude's carrying a pretty heavy weight in that role with that ranking on a team playing this schedule and learning.
