From 0:42 through 0:59: chills.

As @skyIdub noted, DGL IS Illinois basketball. He's becoming a leader. Guys are listening to him. He's a dawg out on the floor.

Then at the end: Ty. He's loving this. He's part of it. Man, I hope we can keep him. These guys are the cement of the program. We lose them at our peril.

I am amazed at the play of Morez Johnson. I don't remember a better frosh big guy for the Illini and I have watched 99% of the Illini games since 1988. Anyone better?

Second place is 1st loser
Don't know how true this is, but it sure would be ideal.

This question is one that I hate to ask, but it's what college sports has become and it's the #1 question in recruiting and team building......

How much is bringing everyone we want back(mentioned above) plus high level recruits(overseas).......going to cost and is affording it remotely feasible?

The best part of this is DGL talking with the team about energy at the end - leading by example and verbally

DGL was outspoken prior to tipoff of the Nebraska game telling the guys he was liking the energy that he was sensing from the team. DGL's growth in year 2 has been phenomenal. This team is new and young with first timers so it's very important for a carry over of last year team like DGL to speak out and lead.

Question for our insiders:
MJ starting, or at least getting 20 minutes was obvious to many of us before Christmas. By waiting until the season is 2/3 over to do the obvious, have we damaged our relationship with MJ beyond repair? There was a reference to this many weeks ago.

Super proud of the team today. Dgl, my goodness kid can sky for little man and love the intensity. Kj has to be more hurt than what we know. He is so careless and lackadaisical with the Rock. Please, clean that up future pro! Mj keep rising Grown Man. We stink from 3, 15ft. to the rim team. We have the studs for that. OSU had 25 more shots than us from 2pt. Today. That will get us Bounced quick at end of season.
Great win. Amazed that Tomi is already back on court 🙌 👏 🙏

We shot 68.4% from 2!!! Thank God BU got over his stubbornness and appetite of shooting so many 3's (in the first half)

It is so frustrating to watch them shoot and miss, 3 after 3 all game long. They shoot a lot of them but are not really very good at it. According to ESPN their 3 FG % rank puts them over 300th best in the NCAA.

Ty is getting paid to practice and is absolutely one of the best educations in the country. Why not come back next year and get paid more?! He will not make more than that overseas or G league in the future.
