Yes, D Mac playing well so far. I'd try to get #1 Carrol in foul trouble. He is hacking our guys all over the court!

Ok, time to rest DMac, he's looking gassed and had two poor shots in a row.

Very pleasantly surprised with Tizzy so far this game. I figured he'd get left behind, but he's keeping up and looks quick.

Legion not looking good right off the bat. Wouldn't be surprised to see Weber sit him the rest of the half.

LOL!!!! Who said Dmac would have 32 tonight?! And we thought he was nuts!!
Mizzou is outmatched. Their gimmick defense is a joke. If you can break the press, you can beat Mizzou.
"Hi Missouri, we are the 2008-2009 Illini and we can hit open shots."

This is the best dribble penetration into the lane I have seen in a long time. The result is that the bigs are getting uncontested layups and dunks. If we can do this in conference we are going to be a very tough team to beat.
