Good game by the Illini.  Stoyakovic played his ass off.  Senior G, Boswell tore Tech up. Toppin was the best player on the floor.

The announcers kept talking about the foul differential.  The worst call I disagreed with was Boswell getting bailed out on a 3PTA with a horizontal leap into the defender that James Hardin would have been proud of.

Illinois earned it.  Straight up.  Good game and lots of coaching opportunities.  The most positive thing that can come out of this is Christian Anderson coming down to earth with a less than stellar game.  Respond to the coaching and go.

Yeah, I only caught the second half but Toppin was ballin. Looks like another solid squad.

I actually watched the game on regular old youtube. I think its hilarious that this spat is ongoing between Disney and YTTV and pretty much most college games are easy to find. Not the case with NFL and NBA, but the college games always seem to get posted.

UK-Louisville wasn't the only good game last night

#6 Michigan got taken to OT by Wake
#10 Florida barely squeaked by FSU
#11 Tech and #14 Illinois was really good

Not gonna lie I fell asleep and didn't catch a minute of the game. Kicking myself.

We also don't have the full team yet so I wasn't expecting a win but glad we fought well on the road

Last season early on we were not very good at all so that's encouraging

I’ll say it. BYU isn’t being intellectually honest about it’s cult like culture with the Black athletes they are recruiting because they want a NC so bad in something.

Be warned Goosby

Last night's Backyard Brawl is yet another example of why I don't take the coaching search complaints by my team's fanbase seriously. The posters that were ranting the most about Hodge have no damn clue about literally anything outside the P4 and Big East.

(1) WTH are you talking about? Kevin Young pitches BYU as a place for guys that want to focus on hoop with fewer distractions and aren't looking for a party scene. If you want to hoop and party then BYU is not a good fit. Duh. Is that a big secret? AJ seems very happy here, btw. Should BYU not recruit black athletes? That seems racist. And you'd condemn BYU for that. BYU recruits black athletes and there is something sinister going on? Maybe you're just a hater? BYU is happy to welcome more diversity. We are an international school and a global church. More members of the church outside the US than inside now, meaning the diversity of the church continues to grow. (2) What does this alleged DUI have to do with whatever point you are trying to make? DUI would be a major issue at all schools.

What an odd comment, at least based on this story anyway. Are black students incapable of avoiding drinking and driving? With the possible exception of Georgia, I'm pretty sure most schools don't encourage drinking and driving, and yet we've seen athletes (black and white) get DUI's at Texas and pretty much every other major college athletics program.

Now, I've long been on record as saying BYU will never be able to consistently recruit enough high level athletes to regularly compete in the sports that matter, because a lot of young men like to party and fuck. But they are pretty up front about their standards and its not like they swept the Brandon Davies situation under the rug. You would have to be a fucking moron to not understand what you are walking into when attending BYU. I've never set foot on that campus, and I am aware of the scene.
