Don't you dare lose that damn shirt! Now, let's do this!
In the 70 years I have been an Illini fan, there has never been an Illini player that can do what TSJr. does on the hardwood. His size, speed with the ball, ability to change direction at warp speed, his skill at finishing at the hoop, along with FT shooting and his % from the arc are a lethal offensive combination. When adding in his ability to effectively guard, stay with, and deter the opponents best perimeter player almost every game, I challenge anyone to name a player who comes close. There is no former Illini to compare him to, and I can't offhand think of any collegiate player I have seen.
It has been a blessing for me to witness his growth and impactful contribution to raising this team to a level that can compete...and beat...any other collegiate team. Sure, they can be beaten...and have...but I sure like what I have seen from them this year. For the first time since I can remember, they have played six games in a row at a consistent elite level. Now, they need to get a couple more against teams thought to be elite and prove themselves worthy of all the praise before playing their hearts out in the FF.
Let's all run a train on the nil store tonight 
No. 13 for 13 in tourney, 19 for his last 19 going back to BTT.
I think BYU didn't look ready. I don't know if the early start affected them but they got off to a slow start and then tried to come back.

That was an EXTREMELY difficult night. I am right up there with most loyal fan to the beloved that there is. That might, after that meltdown.....I was on the cusp. I'm not going to lie. That one ate at me, right down to the core.
Tres bushe league Halil.
We might not be the only ones with full hands
It's too bad he's too hard and overbearing on his players. They must hate that

No. 13 of 13. But he was also 4 of 4 in the Wisconsin game. So 17 of his last 17 back to the BTT.
