They came out PHYSICAL. That was the game plan. Body blow after body blow. They made 3's, we didn't. Period.

Missed shots. That was why the Illini lost today. Way too many inside shots missed. Virtually no 3's. The fighting spirit was nice to see, but UConn didn't beat Illinois...Illinois beat themselves. Illinois played well but they didn't look like a championship squad. Good season for the Illini. Underwood did well. Keaton will be back.

Disappointing end, but proud of the effort. No 30-0 run this time at least.

We fought our !!!!ing asses off. The effort was there. The shot making, unfortunately, was not.

Thank you to the staff and this year's group for giving us the most entertaining season in 21 years. This run will always be remembered and looked back on fondly.

That hurts but outstanding year the mission now is to retain Wagler somehow. Pay him 5-7 million to stay in school one more year he needs to get stronger and even more precise. The NBA isn't going anywhere would be great to retain him might be a pipedream though.

Rebounding (lack of) and shooting lost us the game.

I wish Andrej would have started the game. Felt like we gave up early leads 2 games in a row with Jake Davis giving us essentially nothing.

Just not able to overcome a slow start against UCONN
