Shoot out to Galloway for good defense and a helluva contest on that last drive by Illinois.

I'm really proud of the growth that XJ  has shown over the course of the year. He has turned into the point guard we have needed. These last few games we are getting about as much out of this team as they have to give. Win or lose, can't really ask for more.

That is a major credit to both the coaching and X's willingness to be coached, IMO.

Allow me to give a little postgame shoutout to the wild dog that busted out of his leash, Andre Curbelo, for being a total negative for Illinois down the stretch. He's a loser in every sense of the word.

Maybe our problem all these years is that we have too much time between games. Let's schedule our season next year with a game every day for 30 straight days. We clearly have had too much time to prepare for our opponents...

Indiana Pounding the Wood to Cockburn. !

They fought back when they get behind and gritted one out.  Can't ask for much else, and games like that can help teach them how to close out.

It would've been less nerve racking if we had a reliable shooting threat.

I think the players have finally bought in to the ol theory that defense travels and wins games! They have fought it all season and it’s like the lights turned on yesterday with about 12 minutes to go! Keep it up boys and let’s go DANCING!

How is Cockburn pronounced Co-burn? I'm not buying it!

A lob instead of a charge and Gallo controlling the ball on the break would have had us in fantastic position. It's crazy how things tend to work out when you put a little e and e into the game. That level of intensity and we would have likely had 3-4 more wins in the regular season.

Glad they put together one of their better e and e performances of the season.

He was walking around on it, which was a good sign.  Probably not serious like a Torn ligament. Could be a meniscus issue.Torn ligament. Could be a meniscus issue.

Hope it's none of the above, could just be a minor sprain, a meniscus tear though less serious would likely end his season

I'm calling Hyper-extension. Not sure about how that heals or anything, really.
