Had the same problem in Tampa on Fox, but found it on a spectrum channel called Buzzr
I'm on my third, but I will happily drink another in a toast to wag, you and all in loyalty land! What a performance and what a win! I really should break out the Blantons for this win! Cheers my friends!

I like that comparison.
He’ll be on the treadmill tomorrow. But tonight he’s dancing!But..... But.... But.... Keaton had 0 rebounds. Pathetic.
/s
don't break him Tomi!
He was 0 for the game before making the free throw on the back end of the 1 & 1, Definitely got going after that

So, in the last two seasons we have had the biggest margin of victory on the road against a top 10 team of all time (remember that?), and the highest individual scorer on the road against a top 10 team of all time.
Pretty special stuff.

I'm rewatching it now. Hold please….
Keaton today = Most points scored against a top ten team in NCAA history!…unbelievable!
Man alive... Watched the first half- but was coaching my son's rec basketball during the 2nd half. I'm in utter shock- and didn't think we had any shot at winning this game. I just hoped we'd find some way to win 1/3 of at Purdue, at Nebraska, and at MSU- and we already got that taken care of.
If we can defend home court while Kylan's out- man alive! So nice to see so many players contribute massive shots/plays late in the game (Tomi, Mirk, Jake, Keaton).The toughness and unity of this team was impressive.
Side note: I finally watched the 2nd half- what's even more impressive to me is that Purdue was hitting some extremely difficult shots and we still won in spite of that. Unreal.

I also believe I heard the announcers say that it was the most points scored by an opposing player in Mackey ever.
Man we can really take this conference race by the horns in the next two weeks. There is nobody this team can't beat if they play like this
I was trying to remember if that game was before or after the break. Looks like I was more than a little off.
It isn't really a qualifier for all time best Illinois game, but it is the best one I actually attended. I haven't attended all that many games since graduating from UI=Law, and it seems like we lost every one of them. I've considered spending a lot of money for tix to the Final Four this year, but my jinx is just too strong.

It's pretty insane how consistently good we've been on the road in the Big Ten, and that is like the ultimate measure of a coach in my book.
Today was a quintessential top-level chess match between two of the greats.
