KJ is the best Illinois freshmen ever

[@kerwin703]

I'd like to argue, but maybe. Not a slam dunk, though.

[@rnmlynn]

Kofi Cockburn?

[@MatthewSwanson-f5v]

Illini defense on that last possession was bad to have two guys end up behind the shooter. But great win. Let’s keep it going.

I really think Morez is being underutilized…..he has an awesome future and I would like to see him on the floor more with Ivisic. Ty was missed in a game like this one, as a strong disruptor. Just my thoughts and go ILLINI!

[@sdmarathe]

we dont need Ty when we have Morez and DGL doing similar things. both are getting highly underutilized. also need more trey white

[@Sigismund7]

Of course it was the Mizzou fan that got tossed from the arena!

Many names come to mind as best Illinois freshman ever but I’ll just mention two. Ever heard of Dee brown or Deron Williams? Smh turnover machine JC got big freshman shows to fill. Let’s pump em brakes at crowning him best freshman ever.

[@Blue.Lightning4]

Boswell is by far the best player. KJ delivers points but causes way too many turnovers. Where the heck was Riley? One and done - no way. And who drives to the hoop like Terrence Shannon Jr? We could use that aggression right now.

[@kerwin703]

Not sure that Boswell is best, but Riley, yeah, and it would be nice to have someone like TSJ -- or Ayo -- able to take it to the hole.

[@JayX7]

what is it and you americans being europhobes, KJ is most definitely the best player on the squad right now? he’s a playing at top 5 pick level for the bloody draft

[@cgoldens]

Mizzou is trash

[@kerwin703]

Which, classically, only serves to diminish the Illini win. Nice job.
