That steal and bucket by Melendez was my highlight of the game.
Daaaaamn.
Stomping BIG opponents is refreshing!
Pure hustle
Wow. Plus Harper didn’t go off.Coleman put a check on Harper
Great win, but surprised RJ didn’t get much time today.
Really encouraging. Everyone that played, played very well and hard. Better defense and cut the TO's down big time! Good sign of things to come hopefully. Need AC to get better and come back ready to facilitate and pick his spots; if he does I'm encouraged we will get back to the team we all thought we would be this season. Great to win the first B10 game!

Curbelo-LESS --- and we win by 35. Impressive guys!
The long journey to ultimately peaking in late February and March has now begun.

Interesting that Hutch came off the bench at the end. Is he still hurt or in the dog house?

Harper only had 5 points tonight and 1 for 9 from the floor

Nice way to start the B1G schedule.
Pretty balanced scoring attack.
I liked the Kofi hockey assists the most tonight. I saw at least 2 of them.

Kudos to the coaching staff, we had a whole new offense today not based on ball screens.
35 point win and it just seemed so easy against a team that usually gives us fits! I know Ayo is gonna be proud! I'm proud of this teams fight and determination to get better! Last game may have been the catalyst to being the team we all expected this year! Still some things to get better at and progress to make... but overall a good win and showing tonight! Also I saw that Missouri lost to Liberty by 21 yesterday! 
I-L-L baby!
