Over 100 points?! Down 20 at one point! Let it go to OT! Won the game!

We will not go winless. That is the big positive I take away from this. One bad team punks another bad team. I think this team would have completely packed it in if they lost this one in overtime.

It is a head scratching win for sure.

10 year extension!!! (that's what she said)

Positives: Iowa is better than 1/2 the Illinois squad.

 

[ssckelley]

Crappy season but at least we beat Illinois

Can't get to 1st place from 14th place if you're never on 13th place. Here we come bitchez!

We don’t come back and win this game if the refs don’t screw Pemsl. Kreiner getting max minutes and having a good game was big.

Great. Really happy for the players...these kids work their butts off. That having been said, Illinois is equally pathetic. Changes still need to be made.

Ain't that the truth. Pemsl plays like he bet against us this year. Wide open layup on defense and turnover machine on offense.

And he is a 6’7 power forward who can’t shoot or dribble why even play him or Wagner?

Lifetime extension for certain

Then let Marge take the reins

Then Connor followed by Pat

Dynasty in the works

There can be no doubt

Fran's meeting with the Big officials sealed the deal

Game would have been lost otherwise

I would have never dreamed I would agree with this a few weeks ago, but I do. Pemsl used to be top good on offense to not play. Now you can say he is a better scorer than Wagner. But can you even say he is a better offensive player when you factor in turnovers? I think offense is a wash at this point between the two and Wagner is by far better on defense.

Honestly I turned the game on the first half, saw the score, turned it off, then got back in late and it was fun to see. Good for the kids on the team.
