Yeah, Tisdale is not a bad option either... I just love Paul's coolness as he does it though; I don't think there's ever a doubt in his mind that he's making them

wow, we are going to avoid the weekly floor rush

 

Indiana fans rushed the court tonight because they had a delicious dinner at Applebee's

Said it before and I'll say it again: ANY road win in this league requires a team to play really well. Or be Ohio State.

Though going 9-9 from the line the last 5 minutes also helps.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I mean, we HAD to lose to sulley's team for cryin out loud

But that's just it.... Illinois didn't play well. Still can't shoot and still turn the ball over too much. We did have a really good night at the free throw line which I've been saying this team needs to do. It just so happens that Minnesota didn't shoot well and turned the ball over than we did.

 

Tomorrow everyone will talk about how Weber's benching Tisdale and McCamey was the key to the victory. But honestly, Minnesota played just bad enough for us to win. We need to shoot better because we can't rely on other teams shooting poorly and turning over the ball like Minnesota did.

Illinois played extremely well defensively tonight. They've had trouble with turnovers all year, but tonight they were able to force a ton of bad shots and hold their own rebounding against a much bigger team. This was a bad matchup for Illinois, McCamey and Tisdale were their worst players, and they won on the road by 9. I'm not sure what more you want from the team.

[Magnetic Curses]

they also shot poorly from 3. the shots they got were good looks against a very big team. it was a good matchup for illinois in essence because minny doesn't have a point guard.

[bukie]

Also glad that Illinois was able to return the favor to Minnesota for last year. No chance Minny gets in ahead of Illinois this time.

it's going to be real hard for them to get there without a ball handler that isn't their best spot-up shooter.

A road win is a huge win. But I was responding to the statement that you have to play well to win on the road in the Big Ten. Illinois didn't shoot the ball well and again turned the ball over way too much. Thanks to Minnesota for missing 5-7 shots right at the rim tonight. Huge win but do you think we win on Sunday shooting like this and turning the ball over? Great win, we played more inspired ball but still didn't play great.

next stop purdue

if we can duplicate the defensive effort, we have a shot

Shouldn't we (Illinois fans) be rooting for OSU on Saturday? I think we can get in the dance even with a 9-9 record as long as we finish 4th place or higher. I don't want OSU to go undefeated but no one's going to catch them even if they lose on Saturday.

[Magnetic Curses]

never

[Magnetic Curses]

although i'd love to end their winning streak in columbus. lmao

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Beat Purdue.

You think Wisconsin is going to lose 3 of (PSU, NU, @UM, & @IU)?

[SouthSideRyan]

Minnesota plays Illinois and Wisconsin once apiece, they'll get in by "finishing strong" by playing the bottom half of the Big Ten.

 

That and somebody has to get into the tournament.
