Ayo, if that's your last Illini home game, it was a damn fine game. Coach U-Dub had them moving the ball all game. Haven't seen ball movement like that since 2005

I’ll bet the recruits Illinois had at the game enjoyed that atmosphere. I think Etienne was there. 13-7 in B1G. They outplayed their pre-season position.

Great win but absolutely Special person shot selection in that last 2 minutes. Some WTF shots.

I thought Ayo got fouled. Trent’s was the head scratcher. Hold the ball there and the game is essentially over.

13-7 in B1G versus 10-10 KenPom. Have to give KenPom credit though. He knew Illinois was on the rise.

Those fucking OOC losses though....I think Miami & Mizzou are both out of the top 100 in one of the metrics--either his or Sagarin.

Illinois 5-8 against Quad 1 (now 6-8), 4-1 against Quad 2, 2-1 against Quad 3, 8-0 Quad 4. I don’t know which school is the Quad 2 and which is the Quad 3. They both have similar records. What’s killing Illinois on NET (38) is margin of victory.

He may have been but he shouldn't have even gone in for the shot. If it's uncontested, sure you're gonna take what they give you. But they weren't giving it and there was still plenty of time left on the clock.

Missouri is back in the top 100 in KenPom. Illinois is at #30(already updated)
Not a bad quad 1 & quad 2 record

I think Miami is Quad 3, Missouri is Quad 2.
Some weak play in the first 5 and lat 5 minutes. Otherwise great effort.

KenPom needs some tweaks, as NET does, too. Minnesota is 29 right in front of Illinois on KenPom. NET appears to pay too much attention to margin of victory. Illinois still at 38 after beating Iowa.

Would suck to have to face Duke in Greensboro.

On another note, did any of you see the halftime interview with Fran? It's like that dude is actively trying to be the biggest douchebag in the world.

Yep. Saw it. Thought the same thing. The team takes on his persona, too. Crybabies. Did you see the postgame comment from CJ Frederick?
“I’ve been playing basketball a long time and I’ve never been guarded like that before. I don’t complain a lot, but I think I was fouled every possession.”

Not even the Packers complain that much.
If Illinois handles their lower seeded opponent in the opening NCAA round, they can defeat a 2 or 3 seed in the 2nd round if they can simply hit their shots. Just don't see them lighting it up consecutive games in a row.

That's the big issue with Frazier losing his shot in conference. They need another scorer.
