This whole discussion about being glad Curbelo didn’t get a triple double is ridiculous. We have had 4 triple doubles in program history and half of those belong to Ayo this February. Get over yourselves, celebrate great performances when we witness them.
These games are recruiting pitches within themselves. Come to Illinois where you have the ability to highlight all facets of your game. Triple doubles, double doubles, thunder dunks, alley-oops, spot up 3’s, shut down D, come and play for meeee.
As a fanbase, I hope we feel a little better after tonight? Our top guy was out and we put together a well balanced game. Started pretty flat but then we got going. Four guys in double figures, four guys with 7 or more boards, and a great effort on D by Trent, as always.
Onto Saturday, will we have Masked Ayo? Who knows, but tonight we got done what needed done.
