Man, some of the body language from the bench is concerning. Dain & DGL looked like they'd rather be anywhere else but at the game.
Heck of a win and nice to see some guys really step up. Hawkins with a sneaky quiet 30. Minus the 5 TO's, this game was excellent

FWIW, this is BU's first win vs Iowa without Kofi.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
This is a good day.
I loathe Iowa.

Niccolo Moretti bringin the mini Italian Renaissance to the second half.
A worrisome win is better than any kind of loss. Point blank. Plus Iowa has been playing much better than their record, as of late.
Shoutout to #4 for a handful of winning plays that helped the team Harmonize down the stretch.
If anything, this game showed once again that we got a lot of different knives with which to carve up opponents. I’m gonna keep faith and look for us to tighten the grip and play closer and closer to our powerful potential from here on out.

Wrote it in the game thread. I'll post it again here:
Nico and Harmon were the defibrillator that restarted the heart of this team. We have a pulse again.

But wait bro......BU , NEVER makes in game adjustments........
Didn’t blow it this time. Hopefully we learned from our last minute mistakes vs Penn St and we won’t do it again in March.
Hawkins was impressive today. Great sign of mental toughness coming back from the last minute of the previous game
Bench played well.
Good win against a good team

Yeah, we lose a lot next year, but I could not be more excited to see what the guys we have coming back do when it's their team. There is a ton of heart on that bench ready to rise to the challenge.

Player of the game: Nico Moretti
I thought the defense was really good after Brad took the entire starting group out.

Yet another 30-point performance from an Illini and Hawkins is the third different Illini to do so this season. Is that a team record?

Harmon stays steady, made some needed plays.
I really want to be able to look back at that second half in a few weeks and say that is when we returned to the team we saw before the TJ suspension. It feels like maybe just maybe.
Moretti Dain Amani Harmon unbelievable stuff.
Cohawk wow and TJs defense in the second half was absolutely elite in every damn sense of that word.
Still things to clean up? Sure. LFG
