I can't remember what reporter said Bristow would be a fan favorite in the offseason but he nailed it.

Great win. Beat 2 out of 3 top 10 programs in a 2 week span. Only Arizona has done better and they're coming up Dec. 13th. Give Illinois credit, they' ve definitely tapped into the European pipeline.

Something you may have missed when you were watching last night.

It's rare, really rare, to have a ball game that's so close in the second half and you aren't seeing lead changes. Well, we saw one with the first basket of the second half when Bama took the lead.

There were no runs, no lapses to speak of. It was just two teams playing solid ball for the last 20 minutes.

That first half with the teams matching 3's was something.

I know it's our DNA but we had a 9-point lead and in control of the game and had three or four possessions in a row we just sprinted down the court and jacked up a three from three ft outside the NBA line. I would like to see them get a little better look and make a defense that was on its heels and getting into serious foul trouble work a little harder.

Best tweet from last night:
Dude said Fox announcer can pronounce Zynogobantor Ivanwasseric but can’t pronounce Wrightsell?
