The U is really good at not appealing to big money guys.

all ball on that "foul " on Thornton.

The rebounding just kills us. OSU with an 11 board edge

His shots all look like they are going in, but so many don't. One of these nights he is going to hit everything. Such a great stroke.

Up 4. Great defense holding us in. If we could only grab more defensive boards..

Still hanging around....

Asuma got fouled but the ball did go off his hand. Bad call.

They are just out of sync tonight. The game isn't over, but it just doesn't feel like their night.

Whoever is working with Reynolds on free throws should take a bow.

I love it. But I would not go this big with the idea. I would love to see the Basketball program get another 2 million. I think that would be enough. Niko doesn't need one and done guys, he just needs a bunch of really solid players with skills and length.

With a 15 man roster if we are looking to fill that last slot with a redshirt type, this kid could be a good gamble.

Kyan Evans is lost at NC. Didn't start today and got 10 minutes, zero points. He has gone from averaging 10.6 last year to 5.9 this year and it appears that might decrease.

He will get the talent. Word is traveling that this guy is a great coach who gets players good looks and a chance to maximize themselves in a team setting. He turned a guy who couldn't get off the bench into a star in the Big Ten. Good players will buy into that.

All the stats were equal except the rebounds and the free throws- 13 more FT points for Illini. Well played by the Gophers. We shot fine but had we gotten hot we would have had a shot at an upset.
