Simply just love to watch Michigan ball. So talented all over. Yaxel with another masterclass on both sides. Such a solid player

We continue to dominate Big Ten road games. In a hostile environment, we took the crowd out of it by getting the ball inside possession after possession. Sadly, LJ Cason went down for the year😔

Was close for maybe 10 mins. They played competitive despite being down. Illinois did disappoint me, maybe won’t have them in my final 4 after all.

Pure Domination by Michigan

Michigan sheer dominance once again. Just bully ball ngl

first half was very competitive, second half michigan took it to Illinois

dominant game from michigan again. illinois just haven’t been that good recently im not sure how much i can trust them in march.

We couldn’t handle Michigan’s size

So so disappointed. Everything about the game was setting up to be cinema and we just looked lost

On of the best atmosphere in collage Basketball. It’s almost March everyone.

Partially Watched

Okay gam. Michigan take the lead and illinis can’t do enough to bring it back too much the rest of the game. Just wait till post season when we meet again

@underwoodforheisman

Morez really quieted down all the Illinois haters like a boss

Michigan rolls to clinch the Big Ten outright leading by double digits and as much as 20 for most of the 2nd half behind a double double from Morez Johnson in his return to Champaign as well as 19 from Aday Mara and 16 from Yaxel Lendeborg

Michigan just exposed Illinois.
