Illinois 94, Minnesota 63 Postgame
Our boys Pfeiffer and DJ had the game. HahaTo be honest I kind of figured that we had this one in the bag after Frazier's half court three.
Ok now back to our Final Four plans...love our team that showed up and dominated today,...even on a funky raised floor

Has a jersey ever been retired mid-season?
Haha, nice call!! Gamecast had the win probability at that point as 95.7%
We haven't had a Schhmack! joke for a while. LOL
I'll update this after the Purdue-Nebraska game ends, but for now, the per possession B1G standings:
More separation between the top 4 and everyone else. Michigan maintaining their dominant margin to this point, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Minnesota looks a lot better if the games against Illinois didn't count. However, overall, this is starting to become a very accurate comparison tool as to relative strengths of teams in the conference. Clear top 4 of Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Ohio State (with Michigan a half step ahead of anybody), a second tier of Purdue, Wisconsin and Rutgers safely in the NCAA field, and then a third tier of Indiana, Maryland, PSU, Minnesota and Michigan State that fancy runs at a bid yet, with IU, Maryland and Minnesota maintaining the best overall profiles. Northwestern and Nebraska are bringing up the rear, but Nebraska's flurry of games has shown their improvement, at least on the defensive end.

I’m a firm believer that recency bias causes current players to be overrated vs past players. But these last couple weeks... man... I think Ayo might be the best Illini player ever. And he’s never played an NCAA tourney game. He’s fully capable of a Kemba Walker type run through the tourney to seal that status.
Yes, but, his quickness to keep his man in front of him, to me, was the awesomeness of his defense!
Andre is going to go down as one of the biggest recruiting steals in the history of our program. When he is done here. He will be one of the greats
Great win for the Orange and Blue. Fun game to watch.

Wow....watched the game here on the Enterprise and the Illini played the universal perfect game.....out of this world great game...
Tell Trent he can take the handcuffs off of Marcus Carr....Incredible defense, I know who to call when the Romulans attack again....
Wow, Ayo with another triple double.....amazing player top 5 all time Illini , IMHO
Even some of my new friends are now Illini fanatics....
wanting to make this a season to remember for eternity.......Go in peace to the promised land of your dreams.....

I thought that Bardo was going to run out of " Oh my goodnesses! "
He needs maybe one more exclamation to throw out there.

Anyone who is still saying Garza leads over Ayo for that honor now, is a hack. You are correct, Ayo's D and all around game is better than Garza.

what's a biggest assist total under Underwood?
POY of the year. With todays performance. Has to be his.. There will be alot of him on TV over the next 12 days. We are going to have our first POY in college ball this year.
I agree Trent was absolutely tremendous on def.
In my book, Ayo leads for POY. But I believe in voting after the season.
Who will we pass?
