How fun was that? Let's make this more of a habit.
It wasn’t (except the first 8:00.)We just beat Rutgers by 35 points- and it didn’t even feel that close.
I missed every minute of this due to time zones and children. But I loved all the pregame talk about barely squeaking by in this game and it being an absolute fist fight.
The sky hasn't fallen yet, folks. Breath.
Oskee wow wow!
IMO, the only way Belo starts when he returns is if he has a VERY short leash. As previously stated here, he better have learned something watching from the bench. Hero ball normally doesn't work.
Then we looked pretty good today with no point guard.Belo will go right back into the starting lineup these hot takes are getting ridiculous. He's basically the ONLY PG we have on the roster .

Agreed. We would not do well against ball pressure without AC.against another team with no point guard who couldn't apply no ball pressure and who didn't have a Kofi to draw all the attention.
I disagree. He will start but he HAS to have a short leash. His turnovers have been absolute momentum killers and there is a proof of concept with the offense running well without him. He’s one of the most talented PGs I’ve seen in an Illini uniform, but he needs to make better decisions.Belo will go right back into the starting lineup these hot takes are getting ridiculous.

Plummer is much much better than EkeyPlummer is the best Illini get since the legend, Jon Ekey.
If he can take care of ball, he will be our floor leader. That should be his #1priority....if not he should back up someone else.Agreed. We would not do well against ball pressure without AC.
There’s a very real chance he hasn’t been 100% yet. Post concussion syndrome could definitely be playing into him not seeing the court clearly.I disagree.

great call on the 'hockey assists' and has been awesome to see Kofi enjoying other's success when he kicks it out.BTW Kofi is now averaging 1.3 assists per game. He was made some great passes out of the post and even when they missed or he got a hockey assist he had a HUGE smile on his face going back down the other way. There were some times this game where I thought he passed when he could have powered through but its been such an amazing change seeing him move the ball.
This makes him a valuable NBA player. He is a great guy for the locker room. But when he passes out quickly, he cannot be double teamed as a defensive strategy.BTW Kofi is now averaging 1.3 assists per game.
