This team when hot - is dangerous.
When not - is maddening...
Down the stretch they have been hot!
GBR!

This team, if it performs similarly against Creighton, will lose by double digits.

Watson fouled. He makes both and NUJ leads 75-58.

Is it me being a homeowner or is this announcer and extreme Illinois apologist?

Absolutely

 

[carrolltonsker]

Roby steal and IU knocks the ball out of bounds.

Pretty cool to see the team go over and congratulate Kent Pavelka after the game.

Great Game. Ugly game, but I think Illinois had a lot to do with that and the way it was officiated.

Some say we didn't play well, but don't forget G'town only beat Ill by 8, Gonzaga beat 'em by only 6, and Notre Dame by only 2.

Offense was sporadic but the defense played awfully well.
