7-0 run to start by Tech to start the game.
Nice three by Boswell there.

Big Z block party!

Go Illini!
-
Zivvi looking great
-
This team will be really really good once they get healthy. They’re still really good now!
-
That #2 guy looks good
-
That was an entertaining half of basketball. 20 more minutes just like that please.

Watching from a home theater in the basement of a mansion in Shelbyville Kentucky on a work trip. LFG
-
Nice bucket by Wagler
-
Tech buzzing. They weren't going away easily.
-
This is Mn's fault
-
Let’s quit fucking around
-
Tech is 10/10 made FGs in the 2nd half.
-

Yep. Dad taught him well. Hopefully only bball and not about life lessons with father bearing.
-
Cup is on

That's what she said
-
TT is good. These are the kind of games we lost last year. Hopefully this is a different season.
-
We have both Ivisic's now?
Is Tomislav out? You guys weren't kidding this is the Fighting Ic's
-
Andrej is a stud. Looks like we have another crop of first rounders on our team. At least one.
-
They're passing the ball. We have 5 assists. We had 3 early in the 1st half.

Passing can come later. We have a lot of scorers it appears.
-
Tomislav out for another week or two
Petrovic almost ready to play
-
We need another ball handler. Hopefully Petrovic is the real deal.
-
Underwood at some point sure as hell better have a 100% "Ic" lineup in a game
-
FLAGRANT??? WHERE???

Got to watch the second half.. that win is on me
-
GOOD FUCKING SHIT!!!
-
Iced his own guy but it worked out
-
That was a good ball game

It's not an Illini game without missing a game clinching FT or two. Still didn't matter anyway.
-
That flagrant 1 might be the worst call I’ve ever seen. That’s worse than Melendez’s hanging in the rim call. Just total bullshit and they ever reviewed it. Still pulled out the win! Good shit!
-
Huge win against a borderline top ten team without two of our key players. Maybe we are going to be good?

Tx Tech, having shot only 2 free shots to that point, got a phantom call go their way.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Normally I would say TT got homered with that big of a difference, the reality is with Toppin being the exception, they were not aggressive and taking the ball to our guys/rim to draw fouls.
Offense still looks disjointed at times, 3pt shots are still many @ 31%, not sure our super freshman WAH gler should be taking them at this point. Stoyakovic is the real deal, the amount of contact him and Bos cause, we will be getting to the line ALOT! Big Z played a well rounded game.
Should have gone zone imo against TT, they are a bad 3 pt shooting team, Toppin could have been boxed in a little as well.
Either way very good quality win, with a gaunlet schedule coming up....we will see just how good we are when the new higher ranking (10-11) with teams likely to drop (Fichigan/Florida).
-
This win looks good now, but just wait. TT will turn out to be wildly overrated, and this win in February won't matter. That's what seems to happen to us.
-
I see we're still allowing one guy to go off for 40, but on the flip side we've lost all these games in past years so that's a big win. Statement win on national TV.

Unless Toppin gets hurt, I think they will be good this year

Toppin was 1st team All-American and conference player of the year 2 years in a row.
He had a good game and chipped in with 6 turnovers.
Watts looked good and had 21.
For us that #2 guy played well. For a true freshman Wagler doesn't play like one. He may have taken an ill advised 3 late in the game but I have no idea how much time was left on the shot clock. He will go into the paint to score and to rebound.
We didn't take many bad shots, we didn't take too many 3's and shoot poorly doing it and we didn't turn the ball over much.
No complaints here.
-
Certainly not complaining but, would like to see more assists. We've had teams recently where that became the norm and didn't pan out. Our players have the skill set to improve so, let's hope they develop. Already a fun team to watch and could get even better!

We were missing two of our top 6 players and played a true frosh in crunch time. These guys are still learning each other and developing chemistry. Andrej is just coming back off an injury. Stay healthy and continue to jell and the sky is the limit.
-
Three days later and I still can’t get over just how bad that flagrant upgrade was. It almost ruined the good vibes from the win. Tech will be fine once they get to full health as well so I believe this will still stick as a quality one come March.
I loved that we didn’t make a three in the second half and won, and we didn’t keep banging our heads over and over just chucking them. We would have finished like 10/42 from three if this was last years team.
Get healthy, stay healthy and then we’ll really have ourselves a fucking squad.
