Terrence Shannon told Underwood to leave him out in the 2nd half, because 'these guys are rolling and Matt is cooking'. Brad says it was then about us.
Gotta love

and Giorgi stopping in a cold rain to sign a couple of autographs for kids after the game today. Two players that really get it.

IL has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and a 10% drop in GDP.
Illinois has won 7 of 8 and they are in 2nd place in the Big Ten. That's hard to do in the Big Ten. Too much negativity for a squad winning at that rate.
It's announcement day for

The likely preseason national and Big Ten player of the year would vault Illinois to the top of the Big Ten and top 5 nationally.

University of Illinois response
"Effective immediately, Terrence Shannon Jr. has been reinstated to full status as a University student-athlete and will be available for basketball practice and competition. We will continue to review the Court Order and monitor the case."
Illinois gets one of the top players in 2024. He visited this fall. Huge start to 2024 class for the Illini. I have Johnson is ranked as the top player in 2024 within the state.
Here are the two plays where Mady Sissoko hit
#Illini
Ayo Dosunmu and Kofi Cockburn in the head.
The hit on Kofi was not deemed flagrant and later he made a violent play on Ayo.
7 team fouls for Nebraska in the first 3:42 of the second half. Hey
@B1GMBBall
let's not make it so obvious. Now a technical on Verge for looking at an official. Joke.
Domask with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists
Hawkins with 15 points 7 reboundss and 4 blocks
Ty Rodgers with 15 points
Quincy Guerrier with 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Harmon with 10 points
Illinois only played 7 guys, and Dainja played 5 minutes.
Overall this was a very encouraging weekend for Illinois. They have the talent to play with anyone and should be a threat to win the Big Ten and make an NCAA tourney run.
Have to say that Trent Frazier is what is right about team sports. He went from being the focal point on offense to a reduced role to help win games and also became a great defender. He can still score when the team needs it as we saw. Thats what its all about. Respect.
