Great to see us take control in second half, after keeping close in first. Half we worked around the fouls, and while everyone played well, Bristow was a big difference for us

On a side note, for a second I thought we were playing the Spurs lol

Philon is that dude!
Love Mallette’s passion!
Bol Bowen fills so many roles!
Love the hustle from Allen!
Seeing Bristow for the first time he is the X factor that could make this team special!
Man this team is exciting didn’t mention what Wrightsell, Sherrell, and Holloway can bring. This team is deep.

Great game. Rebounds and fewer turnovers, great defense down the stretch. Fun to watch!

 

[Bazza]

Awesome win tonight - especially at the iconic United Center!!!!

That was a fun game to watch. You can tell that the team got after it on defense and rebounding during practices since the Purdue game. We are so deep that it allows strategies changes mid streaks. This team might be special

And that’s all before we get Bathea going who should be the best ball handler we’ve got.

Quality win.
Allen is a hard nosed player gonna be fun to watch.

 

[BamaNation]

I like the effort tonight. Kept focus even when missing 3s in 1H. Stellar defense down the stretch. Give me Bristow all day long and twice on Wednesdays!

Huge win against a team that should be a top 10 team all season. Theyre good. We were better.

Whew!

Bristow and Allen showed that rebounding isn’t about height. It’s about want.

But we have more depth inside than I thought. And Williamson is not it.

We will be 8 heavy and 3 more light in rotation before Bethea. We will play 12 after. Crazy.
