Just have to give a massive shoutout to Morez. The defense with/without him on the floor is night and day. I’d LOVE to see more Morez/Tomi 4/5 combos going forward. Once Morez gets a bit stronger with the ball on those rolls, he’s going to be incredible.

There must have been a rift in the fabric of space-time during this game, because we experienced a little bit of time travel.

For stretches of the game, a window seemed to open to a vision of our future. An international all-star team suddenly performing at maturity. A stunningly dynamic assortment of weapons working in fluid cohesion.

Ivisic, a suddenly decisive big man with pure, instinctive shots from deep.

Boswell, a bull dog off of any kind of leash, delivering all those weightroom hours directly into the chest of every defender.

Humrichous, an unthinking 3pt generating machine.

And KJ, with his performance down the stretch, teaching all the Arkansas fans watching how they say “goodnight” in Lithuanian.

Everything working all at once.

(And this is still just the beginning).

This season bout to be crazy fun.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

Agreed...who's going to be our 5th...Morez or Riley...this is the reason I like our approximately 3 lineups that are all efficient and it doesn't matter...

Really glad the team was able to wash away some of the disappointment of another excruciating Bears' loss. Illini basketball and football these last few years have kept my sanity for watching sports while Chicago sports continue their historically bad run.

Treat yourself also to the up and coming Illinois Women basketball team.

This team is coming together more and more. Arkansas tried to punch us and the Illini responded every time. KJ got a little careless with the ball a couple of times but I will forgive him because he is a stud, over all the Illini handled Arkansas pressure. I like the depth of this team that contributes at key times. Morez is developing fast and is providing defense and rebounding. Now I hope we don't go to Northwestern and lay an egg!

Great win and now for tomorrow a win in Wrigley would make for a great weekend. The team played as a team tonight. I think Indiana should play UCONN the week coming. Glad to see those two teams loosing. Go ILLINI.

At this point I’m certain Ty Rodgers would do more for this team than Tre White. We already got 4 guys in the lineup that can all shoot the 3. There is room for a 5th guy to do all the dirty work and play the dunker spot which Ty could.

The problem is that Ty also struggled to shoot the 2 (last year) unless it was within 18 inches of the basket.

I love Ty, but he had a lot of work to do offensively to compete.
