I live in Madison, thinking about wearing my Shannon jersey to Church tomorrow. (These folks are famous for their church pregame jerseys). Hope the priest still gives me communion.

With my whiskey in hand, still thinking on this game. The good…seeing Goode be aggressive looking for his shot and rebounding, seeing Quincy and Domask hit shots in the 2nd half, Ty being Ty, and the defensive intensity step up. The great obviously was Shannon!

Dosunmu scored 34 tonight in a Bulls win. The world is Orange and Blue!

My orange Illini polo is all ready to go for tomorrow. Guessing the Hawkeye and Cyclone fans probably won't like that one!

On my way to Poland for a business trip, will trust my friends here to keep me up to date tomorrow! I L L

Looking forward to the Ayo vs. Jr. battles in the Association next season. Ayo's pro game is coming along nicely (some 20-point games lately). And Shannon will take nicely to the next level with ease. Attention Recruiters: More Illini players like these -- please.

Ayo had Thirty-four tonight~!

Ayo put in 34 for the Bulls tonight after being inspired by TSJs 40.
Both new personal bests.

Made me think of Austin Carr's performance against UCLA. Hard to believe that Austin averaged 50 in seven NCAA games.

And was a bust in the pros!

I saw us beat the Austin Carr-led Notre Dame by One at the old Chicago stadium as part of a triple header. Alcindor was there too

If a picture/video could tell 1,000 words, it’s the one of Shannon embracing Whitman walking off the court today.

Gave me the chills

Hoiberg is a class act, just watched his post-game presser, didn't whine or complain about anything, just gave TSJ and crew credit and has a real business like approach to things

My only concern is that we are not a deep team. Three tough games in a row with our top guys logging a lot of minutes followed by our tournament games beginning 4 days later. I'm hoping that we aren't going to see issues with fatigue.

They are clearly deep enough for that criteria.

Ayo would struggle with the longer Shannon defending him, which would be the lynchpin of the 2024 gameplan.

But Kofi would get anything he wanted every time down the floor, and any time we got Trent switched onto the likes of Domask or Goode he would roast them like Christmas dinner.

2021 would make 2024 work for their points. It would not be vice versa.

Would you dare have 2021 Coleman guard 2024 Coleman?

Maybe it’s because I’m old.
Maybe it’s because I simply enjoy fixating on the game.
Maybe it’s because I don’t feel the need to express my enthusiasm or frustration online.
What I know to be true is that once, just once, I thought I would follow the game thread while watching.
That ended after about 3 minutes.
I honestly don’t understand the whole game thread thing. The negativity is simply off the charts.
The comments at times are ridiculous.
I just don’t get it….

Venting. It’s just venting.

Fred’s comments about fatigue came off as a bit of excuse making.

I was at Chicago Stadium for those triple headers in '69 thru '72. Rick Howat and Nick Weatherspoon played in that game I believe.
