KJ is the best player in the team. Full stop.
He didn’t have a good game, but suggesting anyone should be starting over him is a massive overreaction. It’s not like Boswell isn’t turning the ball over…

Press breaker? Press breaker? We don't need no stinkin' press breaker!
But you're right, Sheriff Earp -- it was a great win, so let's leave it at that.

Daddy Brad in-season adjustments:
I think the play Morez made midway thru the 2nd half where he outfought Bradshaw for the ball, then slammed it right in his face really demoralized Ohio State. He absolutely punked their big guys.
We can and will mix and match based on opponent, individual performance, and game flow, but just the fact that this distribution of minutes is now an option is season changing.
Ben H. I am sure he is a great kid, and has hit some big three-pointers in the past, but I think it's obvious now, that his minutes should be very limited.
This is a change that needs to be made. I am sure BU is not giving up on him, but for today has proven that he is really not needed.

In April, we will likely come back to this game as being the game that saved the season. Down 11 points in the 2nd half at home on national tv, after losing 4 out of 6 games, and to storm back by driving the ball to the hoop. Such an important win, and hopefully with guys getting healthy, this is the start to something special. The talent is there for a deep run.
Rest up, and get two important road wins before a bruising final 3 weeks of the season.

Kylan setting off sages in the arena...no. Drinking DGL's blood...yes. This is the way.
game proves that Tomi is the MVP. Adjustments wouldn't have been possible without him. His passing is so underrated
Don’t think it’s hyperbole to say this is a season changing game and win. Really feel like we got our juice back, which is something I didn’t feel after the NW game. Feels like that won they played bad while we played good enough.
Ohio State is a top level team. Some unlucky team is gonna pull them and get all they can handle.
Really feels like we got a new energy about ourselves. Let’s ride the wave

People kept talking about how much KJ needs Tomi, turns out it is Morez who needs him the most.
With Tomi, Morez can be uber aggressive without worrying about fouling out
Tre White. He still has a huge role on this team.
Get refocused and do not lose confidence. This team needs you to step up and show us fans how much of an asset you can be.

these minutes look great.
Paging an Illini Fan from Indy to see if we still need to move on from Brad…

LOL I really thought that dra pose after the dunk was photoshopped
With the CBS soundtrack behind it. Masterpiece.
I think after today, the Illini needs to be a two-point team first.
The three pointers will then come naturally and be a surprise during the course of a game when the players are hitting them.

Inject this win into my veins!
