When they play team ball, they are really difficult to defend against. When they go into iso-ball and don’t move it around, they are putrid.

To buttress this point again, They defeat purdud with 20 assists. For the love of God keep the ball moving!

12-26 from 3.. so they'll go 2-40 vs Maryland.

20 assists again. Seems like Boswell & Riley are emerging as go-to guys and it’s not just Kaspar anymore. Glad to see UW’s high paced offense become the norm after last year and this year. Those Ayo & Kofi teams were like watching paint dry

I think Illinois needs it more. Gonna be a good game. Just not sure how bad UMD wants a Big 10 title and is maybe looking at the tourney? Should be a good battle though. When Illinois is on, watch out! Just never know when that will be.

I’ve actually done that before. It was a shade of black and I was watching the 2016 Bears while I did it. So I guess you could say I was still watching paint dry.

I heard they had a Kofi Cockburn day at a recent Illini game....I was like "what for? Did they invite Cameron Krutwig?"

I shouldn't be dogging him or Ayo because they did make Illinois relevant again--until the tournament that is, then it was business as usual for Illinois--losing to a lower seeded team.

wow! If I am Illinois, I tell Jakucionos to get the ball, and shoot the ball. Too many passes. You don't see that many teams playing so unselfishly, it becomes a weakness. But #32 needs to pop it. Make it rain.

They just aren’t consistent.

At least we saw Fran McCaffery get ejected in his last game....one of my least favorite people in sports history. Just a terrible human being.

This happens frequently. A rival has a coach you can't stand, he gets fired and the first thought is "Good!", then you realize they almost have to get someone better, and you wish he was still employed.

I didn’t think they would get a 6seed but I’m pretty sure Texas or Xavier will beat them easily.

I figure Illinois will win their first game...Kentucky will get upset by Troy, and then Illinois will lose to Troy in the 2nd round by 25.
Also, I can't believe the stupidity of the Committee Chair being the UNC AD and then UNC somehow makes the tournament with a 1-12 record against good teams. That's some 1920's level of corruption.
