Stojakovic is a go for us. Trojans leading scorer Baker-Mazara is out again.

Glad he is out, although I don't think it would have mattered in the end....he does play with an edge to say the least. They could have used him to try and keep it close.
Illini 93 USC 77

Lot o fouls so far.

Lotta guys been to acting school

Nice putback slam by Boswell to cap off the longest half of basketball ever.
-
Sic Dunk
-
Mirk limited to 5 minutes due to early foul trouble and we're still up 22 on the road.
88% free shots
44% from deep
Only 4 turnovers

Most impressive offensive half so far imo, the team looks like a "professional" team so far this game. Measured, running and getting whatever they want.
Davis has really improved with the additional playing time....rebounds well, defends better, much more confident shooting imo, he will be invaluable March wise.
Humrichous' rebounding interior verticality has improved how calm his offense has become, his shot moving or set is so fluid right now. They may not all go in, but man you think a lot more going in than before.
Would not be surprised to see us go at the smaller guards more in 2nd half, the 2 pests are just that. Arenas is SO over-rated...I realize he may be under the weather, but he doesn't look like he wants any part of Bam Bam, his energy picks up when he is against Wagler though.
Ivisic, ticky tack fouls.....ZIvisic....needs more mintues in 2nd half, Humrichous is more effective so far.
Wagler a quiet what double digits?
Stoyakovic....coming back and getting some already.
I like how USC tried to punk us a few times, and the boys "bit" back quickly each time....finish strong and get set against Cronin and his team which may or may not play for him.

We're rolling

This as gone well

The only suspense remaining in this one is if we can reach 100. We probably won't.

Some delicious LA roadkill tonight.
Let's get another serving of that on Saturday.

Go Illini

Running the other guys off of their floor is a good start to a west coast swing. 💯+

Wow. Nothing like a roadkill southern California butt fucking. Good lord.

If you go back and watch the now famous Boswell dunk from last night....slow it down and watch the other players after the dunk as well as Bam Bam's reaction.
It's like he was saying...........we're here, this is what we do, this is what we are going to do!!!
The other guys are all genuinely happy for him, you can see it in their faces/actions....they go to him to congratulate and live in the moment.
Loved seeing the team play, AND the 7 double figure scorers all on the bench with what 3-4 minutes to go?

That was a fun road throttling of a not-bad team.
Have a nonzero chance of ending Mick Cronin's tenure on Saturday.

I think Cronin has lost his mind.
“Are you raising your voice at me?!” Lol
