TJ’s gonna need two conditioning coaches to prep him for tomorrow!
If only Fletch had some help…

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.

"Shannon had no turnovers, becoming the first major conference player with 40 points and no turnovers in a conference tournament game in the past 25 years, according to ESPN Stats & Information research."

Did all that while also completely shutting down KT on defense. One of the all-time great single game performances in Illini history full stop.

I couldn't watch the game. I had to attend a play this afternoon. Downtown. 30-min drive both ways. It had three acts, lasted 3:30, had two intermissions, and was, to put it as mildly and politely as possible, soft-core Marxist porn masquerading as TRUTH. Sometimes a man's gotta do...

[An aside: for the Illini ladies who post here, please remind your husbands to kneel in heartfelt thanks for your affinity for college ball. And then give you a foot rub Jules Winfield stylz]

Anyway, I can't watch the replay yet and saw only the final score (and word of TSJ's 40-spot) without reading any of the post game thread. Awesome, decisive victory. Since we obviously must have clicked on all 12 cylinders for 40 mins I'm going to treat myself, sit back with two fingers of bourbon, and leisurely enjoy what I'm confident was a uniquely positive, uplifting game thread with nary a disparagement of any aspect of our hallowed program. I need it after the afternoon I've had.

My favorite post in awhile. I’m not Googling “Jules Winfield style,” though, so I’ll just have to imagine.

Anyone know where I can watch a replay? I forgot to record it and was away all day. Sounds like I missed a lot!

A lot of rec league all stars were full of negative comments in the first half. Pretty quiet now.

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….

Lol...stop. The team should be ashamed of the first half. Any fan calling them out in the first half was dead on.

What do you think Brad said? Should he be ashamed too?

Yes, dead on. I am a puzzled about the idea that the players and coaches can express sharp concern about the team's performance and effort, but fans should never ever dare to notice shortcomings.
