We have made a lot of fun of Kofi Cockburn in his time at Illinois, hopefully all in good fun, but he is an easy young man to root for. He just plays without acting crazy or complaining about calls. I hate that he plays for them, but I have tremendous respect for him.

this.  Is not his fault the big ten calls the game the way it does.  Given the rules, he plays how you have to play it.

was really glad to see TJD have success today against him as well.  Trayce has been going so much quicker the past two games and it’s paid off.

I saw it and thought it was unnecessary at best and possibly costly. He's not 100% there yet but I like how he is playing. Sometimes you have to take a little bit of that to get the edge and passion you want. He has come a long way and I hope he is back for another year. He can be a top point guard next year.

I think Miller only won 1 game total in the BTT.

Hell and that one win was against the Nebraska football team

Well that was fun to watch the second half!  Great win.  **** Illinois.

Our first 20 win season in 5 years?  **** you too Archie Miller.

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

Did you see the tweet from "Hossier Hysteric"?  "There is no silent CK, it's Cockburn!  He refuses to pronounce it any other way. LOL!

Watched the game late afternoon, but the experience was not complete without reading your posts!  Loved X saying, "We packed for 4 days."

In the 1st game against IL, TJD tried to play Kofi's game of bang, bang, bang, and out muscle him. This game, he played TJD ball with his quickness and athleticism. Totally different look. So happy for TJD and the guys.

I think 2nd 20 win season since 2016. I think we did it in 2020.
