The official early bring your war paint because someone is getting out of the basement game thread

Basking in the glory

Of the first BigTen Hawkeye victory

Been a long time coming

And is extremely gratifying to witness

It is entirely possible that the Hawks have turned the corner

No longer will they be considered a win for the opponents

There are many positives that manifested tonight

Garza has realized his potential. His progress was evident from the start of the game tonight

Ryan Kriener was vastly instrumental in the rally. He needs to play at least 10 minutes a game

Cook has elevated his game far beyond my expectations

Dailey is the best we have at the point, should be inserted into the lineup sooner and longer

Baer has adjusted to his injury and starting very well

Bohannon is the Goods, No doubt and he played the point very well tonight.....

Free throws and rebounding were the main factors in the win tonight

Fran's meeting with the Big authorities made a vast difference.....

45-26 advantage in rebounds

40 free throw attempts against 14 Illini attempts

We made 33.....The Illini made 11

Game over

Illini face severe humiliation

When he is up in people’s grill, he doesn’t move his feet and people go right by him. Even if he did move his feet people would still go right by him. He just isn’t a good defender, end of story.

Plus no way in hell he is six foot

So what does that really mean

I focused on Moss tonight to see if he boxes out . I never saw him do a hard box out one time

Just rather curious about your true feelings about the hard fought victory tonight

Do you have a positive thought about that or anything else

Merely curious

That's all

Just got Andy Kaufmanned.

That was brutal

It was a fun game to watch . I had to leave the room when we were up 3 with 5 seconds left. I couldn’t watch . I know I can be negative but I can’t stand what the last 3 coaches have done to this program . I want this team to succeed more than anyone . Not sure if I will ever get over South Dakota st living next door to a die hard jack rabbit supporter. My flag was out before the game and I never took the motherfucker down but he didn’t put his out until he found out they won. Still burns my ass

Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright

As Matthew would say.....

As difficult as this season has been, this is very positive, and hopefully, the Hawks will continue to improve.....

It would be painful to suffer the loss to SDS living next to a JackRabbit fans.. I was at the game surrounded by Jackrabbit fans. We were on the top tier leaning against the wall. The Jackrabbit fans were very cool, however. They reminded me of Hawk fans.....

It's all good

 

[DDThompson]

Some 8.2 PPG 1.8 RPG Illinois average dude is due to have a career game:

Say 27 pts (5-7 3FG) 11 Rebs ?

Frazier (IL)
season: 9.3 PPG (27.7 3FG%) 1.7 RPG

vs Iowa: 27 pts (7-11 3FG) 2 RPG

=

Not a lucky guess
Not a genius

Just Iowa Basketball

Him not being six foot means they can score over him anytime they want
