Dain Dainja completely changed the game mid- second half. Morehead State had no answer for him.

TERRENCE SHANNON JR#0 HAS BEEN THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY THE LAST FEW WEEKS ..

[paulwilson]

Dainja... showing just how good he can be. Rebounds, transition game dunks, tricky glass shots. If he can keep playing like that and Domask and Shannon are on their game... Illini can go to the final...

I was really happy to see Matt Domask get the triple-double. Terrence Shannon is one man wrecking crew for Illinois. The Illini have to stay focused and not sleep on Duquesne on Saturday

Illinois is a scary matchup for anybody. I’ve liked them all year. Without the TSJ legal situation, I imagine they would’ve finished the season a 1 seed possibly

#3 Illinois will face #11 Duquesne on Saturday in Omaha in the East Region 8:40pm on TNT

What a comeback win for Illini to pull away and win by that much wow.

WHO are these announcers!?!? Illinois has not lost three straight opening round games. Do they even bother to do their homework? Illinois lost last year in the opening round. In '21 and '22 they lost in the second round.

Can you stop showing a player from the winning team on the thumbnail? We fans overseas rely on watching these condensed games and don't want to know who won before we watch the video!

Big congratulations to Domask, who recorded a triple double in the March Madness for the first time since Ja Morant did it 5 years ago. The player of the game is Dain Dainja, who dominated the post. When Guerrier wasn't as good as usual, Dainja stepped up to reverse the game. If he can maintain his form like he did, Illinois can go higher than Sweet Sixteen.

When the Illini build that rhythm, they are a snowball turning into an avalanche rolling down the hill. they got too many scorers

[garywagner]

We really need Hawkins to step up his game & quit complaining every time he gets fouled or looses the ball, he’s hurting the team when he does that

[MichaelRyan-bz]

Hawkins needs to stop complaining about calls, then comes back to D late. Please Coleman! Worthy note- bench play exceptional. Finally, where's Guierrier lately? Come on Illini!

[brettldouglas]

Dainja looked like an All American in the second half.

[michgan]

Did you see Shannon dive for the ball and bounce it out of bound off the Moorhead players leg. He wanted this game.

[hankfanelli]

From the Illinois fans to Moorehead State: Thanks for commin out.

About time, former Saluki Chicago raised.

You know you a dog when the announcers refer to you as the Big Aristotle #Shaq

I have a history of making snarky comments when someone posts a poorly edited highlight video, so please take it as a high compliment when I say the editing on this clip is outstanding. The visual transitions are seamless, and there's not a single instance of audio starting or ending in the middle of a thought.

To anyone else who wants to produce highlight videos, this should be your textbook example of how to do it right. I'm very pleased to subscribe, and I look forward to viewing more of your clips.

(Unless Illinois loses, of course.)
