You can all thank me. I missed the first half and when I started watching we got on fire.

53-13 advantage in the 2nd half. From 15 down at halftime to a 25 point win.

We made NW look like Chicago St, maybe worse. Easily our best half on defense.

Gotta hand it to Underwood. Whatever he did or said at halftime, the players responded in emphatic fashion. It was beautiful to watch unfold.

We got out-worked the first half and were cold shooting the ball. We out worked them in the second half and made our perimeter shots. I think they were gassed in the 2nd half too.

Seriously, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a decent (bubble-ish) quality team get destroyed as badly as Northwestern got destroyed in the 2nd half tonight.

Underwood saying the players were more pissed off than he was at halftime. Said they knew that wasn't them at their finest. That is awesome to hear!

Quoted from ESPN:

According to STATS, Illinois became the first team to outscore a major conference opponent by at least 40 points in a single half since Kentucky outscored Vanderbilt by 43 in the second half of a 106-44 win on March 5, 2003. The Illini are the only Division I team in the last 25 seasons to trail by at least 15 points at halftime and come back to win by 20 or more.

Insane.

Bizarre game.
Having watched NU a few times,  I thought this should be comfortable game. They are not good.
Not even Top 75 team.

We play down to our competition often. Glad they pulled it together.
Good to see Adam Miller hit some shots.

Watching the game now and your dum dum players keep doing the Sparty floor slap wrong. You ARE NOT supposed to get a stop immediately after slapping the floor! Tradition demands a blow by lay up!!!!! Get it right or pay the price Illini! >:( >:( >:(

I wasn’t worried even when we went into the half down 15.

Similarly, when Wisconsin was down 2 with 32 seconds remaining in regulation, I felt bad for Indiana.
