Illinois is a real good team. When Ayo and Kofi are on their games and the two freshman just keep getting better. I would say they are the favorites to win the Big Ten.

Curbelo is super talented and makes some incredible plays. He looks like he has a really bright future.

He also makes too much of the offense run through him right now. There were 2 or 3 straight possessions where he was controlling the ball without giving a meaningful touch to Ayo, and 2 of them ended in ill-advised Curbelo misses. Next possession Ayo gets the ball and gives Illinois the lead.

Curbelo is good now and will be really good in the future, but Ayo is great now and has taken over at points this half. Should probably run the offense through him down the stretch to avoid this upset.

I believe in you.

Am I drunk or did Illinois lose a point?

Think you’re just drunk haha

Could have sworn they were up 3. This will be my last vodka soda I guess

Huge bucket by Morsell to go up 3

What a shot by Morsell. Maryland might be doing it again

Iowa is dodging a huge bullet by not getting Maryland in Iowa City apparently. We really need to be careful on 1/19 now.

Have yourself a game, Darryl Morsell.

A Curbelo floater cannot be what they drew up

Once again a good point by Hummel. Instead of harping on the 21 points by Ayo…he points out that it has taken 21 shots to get there.

Maryland with road wins against Illinois and Wisconsin… those are their only B1G wins

This is the year Turgeon gets some street cred for his B1G coaching. Past year’s squandering major talent, this team is better than the sum of it’s parts. Hurts to say this, but tip o the cap if they finish this season strong.

Wonder how much Deandre Haynes is helping the player development of Morsell/Ayala/Scott?
