Keegan Murray set the scoring record for most points in a BTT. TSJ finished 1 point behind him. Remind you, Keegan Murray and Iowa that year played 4 games, TSJ scored so many points in 3 games. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. I’m from Boston I’m no flyin Illini like you, but I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen any National pub for Terrence after what he just did in 3 games to win the big 10. In the same conference wirh the projected wooden award winner? Beats the team who knocked off purdue. Came back from 10+ points behind in the seocnd half of the last two wins? 74 points in those last 2?!! And no hype? And Bill Raftery and the other dude were just blown away at how literally unstoppable he was. Sure he missed a couple 3s and a few acrobatic layups went off the rim slightly, but it was like the entire tournament he scored whenever he decided he should. He had such poise and patience while also controlling the game entirely. It was a master class. I can’t wait to see him dominate the pros if he eventually gets the right situation. When he polishes that left flick with a pro trainer, it’s gonna be over!. His off the dribble attack game is legendary

@@schuylersavage276 He's definitely underhyped 4sure. If a Kentucky player were to do this, the media would go crazy. And yes, he definitely has the potential to be good in the NBA! The reason you're not seeing his name on first round boards is because of his situation. Once that's cleared with, which you'll know there is no chance of not happening if you do some digging, everything will be as good as ever!

[@adamstevens1204]

Love when the announcers say yes, he can score with his left hand. He does that very often

[@adamstevens1204]

He is a lefthanded shooter

[@bexkys]

Tremendous athlete! 🧡💙

[@paulwilson8085]

He is better than Dosunmu in so many ways. Very athletic, defensive skills, can switch from a drive to nail a 3 in a heartbeat... floaters, dunks... he has everything in his arsenal... so many skills. Not one dimensional. If you rank him in terms of NBA draft potential, I realize Edy will get lots of demand from teams that want a true center. But It's no longer a Center game in the NBA... it's a guard's game. So TSJ will be one of the top in the draft for sure.

Best to ever do it in the BTT

[@ewmcdade]

Hard to fathom while watching it but that was the best BTT performance we’ll ever see. Shannon is electric!

Terrence Shannon just won Big Ten Player of Tournament for the history of the tournament. A#1.

[@Gee2deDubya]

Man, I dunno if TSJ is a generational talent, but doggoned if that wasn't a generational performance. I-L-L!!

[@ObiWannaBrick31]

Edey was better

[@jacklewis5452]

Numbers dont lie......but you do.

[@richierich8905]

Edey couldn’t t carry his team to this year’s BigTen championship though huh?

[@jackconnor5123]

At least, in BTT, Edey was worse than TSJ. No doubt.

[@FlyIlliniFly]

Okay, so?

[@FlyIlliniFly]

Matter of fact, there's no way he was better in the BTT.
