So , from the Illini up 48-47 , we went on a 40-26 run to end the game .....Included in that run was a 17-2 run to kick our lead up to double digits...............

Special game to rebound from the loss to the twerps at home last Sunday.......We are a TEAM of winners.........chemistry is great.....maturity is great ..........BB skills are great...........So sad that our All American is sidelined by some BS allegations.....

Quincy Guerrier ... I think has been the MVP of our season ... I mean that dude is playing at such an elite level ... Might be the best cutter that Brad has had ...

Crashes the glass every possession ... Makes open shots ... Never question his effort ... Not hunting for shots ... Just the complete opposite of a certain guy we had last year ...

I just keep thinking about how he was the missing piece on that 2020-2021 team ... And how if Brad had him all 5 years ... How good would this dude be ...

Special player ... Really enjoy watching him play ...

Clearly Coleman for me, then Marcus then QG, but Quincy has been awesome (except for the Maryland game). Hell of a cutter like you said

Coleman Hawkins was ranked by 247 as the 49th best PF in his class.
Not player... 49th best Power Forward.
Watching him blossom into a bonafide star has been a lot of fun.

It's that special and, these days, quite rare occurrence where a gifted player remains patient and committed to developing and improving under a single staff and system. The results, as we are finally seeing in CoHawk, can be a beautiful thing to behold.

Domask has been very good ... I think it's very close between the 2 ...

It's just the consistency for me with Quincy ... 9 out of the last 10 games in double figures ... 4 out of the last 6 with a double-double...

His rebounding has just been absolutely huge for us ... This was Coleman's first game the entire season with double-digit rebounds ... Pretty crazy stat ...

That great second half kinda makes this seem like a distant memory, but if BU giving minutes to Moretti before Harmon to light a fire under Harmon…I’d say it worked.

Brad was not happy with Harmon after the Maryland game ... And he let Harmon know it ...

One thing I really like about Harmon and it's the thing Brad likes the most ... His mentality ... Brad can REALLY get on him without worrying about destroying the kids confidence or upsetting the kid ...

He is almost like Feliz mentally ... Kid is one tough son of a gun ...

My guess it also has to do with Brad wanting to give minutes to Moretti to work on getting him game ready. Better to do it during the first half while hanging close. We're going to need a few minutes from him.

I was worried he would hit that late game three pointer and get smacked by Howard in the handshake line.

QG seems to always make the calming play.. or grab a huge board. His cutting reminds me of Isaiah Livers weirdly enough. Just a down hill freight train. Marcus has been a huge ball handler and initiator, also delivers a lot of those dimes to QG. We’ve got a great group.. love this team..

It won't be when we need to get stops defensively ... Michigan hunted him out every possession he was in there ...

I really like the kid offensively and I see the potential ... But he has a long way to go defensively in order to see meaningful minutes ... Especially for a coach like Brad where defense is non-negotiable...

With Harmon if shots aren’t falling we can live with that, but his job is defense and grit.. that’s all effort and never should be lacking.
