2/11 BIG games and others....

Just watched end (no sound) of MSU - Illannoy game. Was that a pass off the board for a dunk?

No, it was a desperate Winston trying to give the shot a chance over multiple shot blockers coming to help. Tilman just did the right thing and attacked the offensive glass, and as both help defenders went for the block, he was uncontested for the put back slam.
 
The B1G is beating up on each other and now being under-ranked in the polls IMO. It's a shame Nebbie couldn't get a better shot at the end. Didn't watch much of the game, but Mary Land must have been looking ahead.

PSU is looking tough right now, and is looking like a top 4 team. I think Purdon't is now fighting to just be a .500 team in the B1G.

I almost caught myself pulling for Illannoy (scary). As much as I hate Illannoy, that was a sad way for the game to end. I hope the kid isn't seriously hurt. Saturday game between MSU and Mary Land is huge. I think the turtles become almost a lock as one of the top 2 in the B1G with a win. If MSU wins, it will open the door for a few teams...

Great league to watch this year.
 
Hate the Illini, but damn, it sucks to see a great player like Ayo Dosunmu go down with what appeared to be a very painful injury. Selfishly, I hope he recovers just in time for the BTT.
 
Good news, at least for Illannoy, Dosumnu does not have structural damage to his knee. Not sure when he will play, but I think they play at Rutgers and PSU in their next couple of games, so they need him back right away.

I hope he is back, but Illannoy goes on a losing streak anyhow.:)
 
From medical professionals weighing in, it sounds like the expectation is that he'll still miss a game or two to let the injury heal even without structural damage. Really unfortunate timing for Illinois, as these are games that they should have every expectation of being able to steal on the road with what they've shown. I still wouldn't be surprised if they are able to get one, but some of their pieces will obviously need to step up and fill the void.
