Congrats to all the ILLINI boys, the staff, (Crocker tonight) deserves special kudo's imo. This is THE single best defensive display from this team ALL year.

If they continue to buy in to this extent the Natty might just be the ceiling this year. I think our offense has recovered, pair that with THIS defensive plan/scheme/effort the rest of the way, who knows.

Proud of the program for stepping up, bring on the Hawk Tuah's

Get fucked, Sampscum!!
Back in the day I would have agreed, maybe just in jest, but as a coach I have a ton of respect for Sampson. He is not at an elite program imo, doesn't have the big NIL that others do, and yet he keeps grinding out top 5-10 programs year in year out. They fought hard, we just had enough answers.

Yep. Best defensive performance of the year.

17-0 run by our ILLINI, not quite the 30-0 one we took, but damn on the way. If I were Iowa, I would be very worried right now, our boys confidence will be and SHOULD be sky high after today's effort.

I thought their physicality and tenacity would overwhelm us into submission but we were the ones who imposed our will on Houston. Not often do you see Houston get dominated like they did for nearly the entire 2nd half.

No UCONN juggernaut standing in our way this time. Beat Iowa and punch our ticket to the Final Four.

We basically beat him into their own submission. It was awesome.

Huge win for the program. Was afraid Houston would be tougher than us and impose their will. We could be peaking at the right time. #freeshotsdontmatter

The home crowd got into the game and made some noise for the home team during a 2nd half Houston possession. Good for them, I'm glad they had something to cheer about.

We finished with 9 turnovers and going in I was worried about Houston turning us over a bunch.
Beat xxxx !!! We get the early game, 5:09 tip.

We caught them at the right time. They couldn't get anything to drop early.

Need Bos to get out of his offensive funk and Wagler to start finishing at the rim again. That dude catches so much contact but rarely gets calls.

Great win. Was not confident going in.

Mirk and Wagler made some history last night.

First time 2 freshmen each had double doubles in an NCAA tournament game

I don't know how +/- gets graded but we had everybody but Humrichous in plus territory. But he had a big smile when he hit his 3 to push the lead to 18. 😁
Houston had nobody.
