He will be back at some point soon.

Is it autofill that Curbelo takes his spot in the starting lineup? Man, we are awfully small in that case. Maybe Monte comes back and Trent takes over the PG role?

How did we finish against IU? Belo, Trent, Miller, Monte, Kofi? Man, that’s tiny. Maybe that works ok against Nebraska though. Maybe we shuffle things around and get Coleman Hawkins more engaged. Supposedly he’s a practice warrior, so let’s see if he can fill a more meaningful role.

Ayo’s height and length are impossible to replace.

LOL! So glad Wisch blocked me so I don't have to see him on my feed.... - HectorVillanueva19 February 25, 2021, 17:28:21
I thought Couch was going after Dan Roan for calling Sissoko a thug* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 25, 2021, 17:22:45
Probably. I hate that we can't use the word thug to mean enforcer anymore* - Taz February 25, 2021, 17:44:25

I say after tonight, shut it down. Skip the BTT. Wait for NCAAs - timmer February 25, 2021, 14:09:31
I'm not opposed to skipping the BTT - AintHatin February 25, 2021, 14:38:14
Absolutely* - CubsWonWorldSeries February 25, 2021, 18:09:10
This is silly. Isn't the fun in playing the games?* - CWR10 February 25, 2021, 14:31:33
Theoretically yes, but I NEED multiple NCAA tourney wins. - HamptonSki February 25, 2021, 16:42:09
well, it's timmer - assassin February 25, 2021, 14:35:31
There's this nightmare scenario where someone picks up the 'rona during the BTT... - Tuscy February 25, 2021, 14:44:03
i think we've ernied a top seed already, but i can't count on it* - VIV February 25, 2021, 14:14:25
Big Ten rescheduling Michigan game: double-header, anyone?* - RangerDanger February 25, 2021, 16:05:11
Yeah, can't quite take it to the banks just yet * - jdl February 25, 2021, 14:20:47
Coach Bert Bielema thinks we've got it for sure. * - jdl February 25, 2021, 16:08:47
It’s not my money but I really wish Underwood had taken the fine - Blazer February 25, 2021, 13:58:05
He's officially not coming back next year? - HamptonSki February 25, 2021, 13:21:15
you go when there's nothing left to gain by coming back - snipes824 February 25, 2021, 14:04:19
I think Kofi could still gain something - jdl February 25, 2021, 14:07:21
JMHO, but if/when Ayo goes, Kofi will follow. I think the MSU game showed him enough. - osklister February 25, 2021, 17:10:40
Sounds like he was close to leaving last year, despite it being against his better interests. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 14:36:17
pass out of the post and a 12-15 footer are the 2 things that jump to mind for me* - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 14:13:53
I think mid-range shooting is definitely an area where he can improve his stock and usefulness - snipes824 February 25, 2021, 14:12:04
Seems like the major draft boards haven’t done much updating since early in the season - Blazer February 25, 2021, 13:59:37
Illini Basketball is sharing his "last shot ever in Assembly Hall" so...* - eta February 25, 2021, 13:58:43
That's why I mentioned it. - HamptonSki February 25, 2021, 16:40:31
i've seen him projected as high as 10th from a more obscure mock draft - illiniranger February 25, 2021, 13:41:28
ooo - jdl February 25, 2021, 13:30:25
Someone asked BU about it in the presser and he said he would encourage Ayo to go* - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 13:27:32
should we read anything into 'facial injury' instead of broken nose in the release?* - John Coctostan February 25, 2021, 13:05:06
he was involved in a bar fight with a local mma guy* - CoronaTheirAss February 25, 2021, 13:11:05
No?* - GMAW February 25, 2021, 13:05:43
Might have a facial fracture not part of his nose.* - Tuscy February 25, 2021, 13:14:58
It certainly could be that, but I wouldn’t read anything into the phrasing* - GMAW February 25, 2021, 13:32:38
I assume it's just general coach speak or whatever. but is there a chance it's a bigger issue than - John Coctostan February 25, 2021, 13:14:28
BTW, we opened as 17 point favorites tonight (before the Ayo news obvi) - Blazer February 25, 2021, 12:43:49
I hope they surprise me, but I would be shocked if we win by 13+* - OB25 February 25, 2021, 12:46:21
I have no idea what to expect - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:48:25
I will repeat my desire to get these guys in the BTT and beat the shit out of them* - Blazer February 25, 2021, 12:37:54
if we get them in the BTT I want us to forfeit and get ready for the NCAAs - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 13:27:29
Trouble is, retaliation is usually way too obvious. - illinijohn February 25, 2021, 13:08:11
Believe it or not, I actually wasn’t advocating retaliation - Blazer February 25, 2021, 14:01:16
I'll buy that. - illinijohn February 25, 2021, 14:05:40
Literally and figuratively* - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 12:40:38
Okpala, Pearl Palczewski and Ford have been added to the roster * - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:44:21
Does Stanley Green have any eligibility left?* - IlliniOllie February 25, 2021, 13:19:20
His name is now "Brandon Lieb"* - illini222 February 25, 2021, 13:33:29
Apparently Dan Roan had to delete a tweet - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:29:39
Gotta watch the use of "thug" there...too charged. - JFG February 25, 2021, 13:08:23
Ridiculous* - ilinni11 February 25, 2021, 13:49:46
Thug is such a weird word. When I think of it, I don't think of race. - tvillini February 25, 2021, 13:27:45
Keeping him out until the BTT wouldn't be the worst thing in the world - GMAW February 25, 2021, 12:28:38
I get the gist but I couldn't do that to Ayo - illini February 25, 2021, 12:55:21
Of course, I'm also not Brad Underwood. * - illini February 25, 2021, 12:55:40
Yeah I’m kind of thinking the same. Just as long as we get a 2/3 seed. - Carl Spackler February 25, 2021, 12:38:32
My dream is more Iowa whining - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:40:16
Never had a big issue with MSU fans and certainly don’t judge a fan base by a message board... - OB25 February 25, 2021, 12:22:40

They are very cautious with rumors * - jdl February 25, 2021, 13:10:22
I blew up (via text) the MSU fans I know. They have been silent - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 12:30:16
I'm already pissed about the few comments I've seen on Twitter - Taz February 25, 2021, 12:25:16

So are the Spartan beat reporters for not asking the question. - illini222 February 25, 2021, 13:09:31
are there any stats that show MSU is particularly foul-y?* - biclops February 25, 2021, 12:00:29
Brad said in his post game that they had scripted in 20 plus FTAs because that’s MSU ball.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 12:03:25
That strategy backfired - we seemed to rush a bunch of shots around the rim and POWER THROUGH - GMAW February 25, 2021, 12:26:50
If we had made our FTs and a couple layups and won, MSU fans would be the ones bitching at the refs* - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:05:26
we would still be pissed about Ayo* - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 12:19:51
Probably true.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 12:09:32
They are #279 in defensive FT rate - jdl February 25, 2021, 12:02:40

Time to put the shock of this in the rearview mirror. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 11:10:40
Really interested/nervous to see how tonight goes. We’re certainly capable of losing without Ayo.* - OB25 February 25, 2021, 12:00:14
I might save myself the headache and not watch. - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 12:04:03
More tick for lil' Undy* - Illini Guy February 25, 2021, 11:58:55
I think I'd go Trent, Miller, DMW, Grandison, Kofi* - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 11:39:46
I would think you'd start DaMonte-Miller needs to step up, he's got his shot to show - illini222 February 25, 2021, 11:39:34
So rumors are that Ayo had surgery - jdl February 25, 2021, 11:05:21
90/10 rule * - ijustkrushalot February 25, 2021, 12:00:06
Would also not be surprising. Most nose breaks require surgery. He won’t be back - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 11:13:59
It's like a six-minute surgery. - illini February 25, 2021, 11:37:08
Minor surgeries are ones that other people have* - Herman Blume February 25, 2021, 12:19:35
Me too and there was swelling for a few days afterward.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 11:52:35
It’s been 19 years since I’ve had that surgery but I remember my nose being packed with gauze - GhostofPokeyStixPast February 25, 2021, 12:11:11
Yeah, I'm fine sitting him out as long as needed. - jdl February 25, 2021, 11:16:20
Yep. Games without Ayo will not hurt us. He’s so high profile they’ll be accounted for. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 11:16:15
More experience for Miller, Curbelo, Hawkins means that they get a chance to shine - Taz February 25, 2021, 11:37:02
Also, I recall conversation about Izzo being on the floor during play in our game. If we play them - meanjeans February 25, 2021, 11:02:48
I'm searching for any sort of silver lining: Ayo was already getting NPOY talk, sort of feels like - meanjeans February 25, 2021, 11:00:50
Forde calling for further action - jdl February 25, 2021, 10:43:20

Well, he is a Miznoz alum * - jdl February 25, 2021, 10:57:13
Maybe. I'll take the "dirty play" at least * - jdl February 25, 2021, 10:52:51
For sure. It is good for him to call out.* - AintHatin February 25, 2021, 10:53:56

Hello, British historical drama TV series based on the novels of the same title by Winston Graham.* - Tortillini February 25, 2021, 10:53:37
Would be kinda boss though if Curbelo posts a 15-5-11 tonight. * - illini February 25, 2021, 10:41:24
Silver lining is he gets a chance to grow up real fast before the real games start. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:54:38

This is such ####ing bullshit. #### izzo #### sissoko and #### B1G refs* - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 10:21:52
I’m trying to remember, did the refs even call a standard foul when the play actually happened?* - OB25 February 25, 2021, 10:23:31
It was a clear foul and should have been called but I have no problem with the F2 call process* - ilinni11 February 25, 2021, 10:44:42
The ball was knocked out by Langford and looked like a clean play - jdl February 25, 2021, 10:35:05
nope, just out of bounds - IlliniSax05 February 25, 2021, 10:25:23
That’s what I thought. And that’s the most egregious part of the whole thing. - OB25 February 25, 2021, 10:26:51
Yea. Either that or incompetence...which given some of the other calls, seems to be the - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 10:32:25
I really hate ref complaining, and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:39:24
I feel like this year has been even beyond the norm. Terribly embarrasing calls * - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 10:55:36
Eh, I’ve been saying for years you have to be 10 points better to win on the road. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:56:56
MSU didn't react and push it. they set the tone from the start. seems clear that izzo - John Coctostan February 25, 2021, 10:52:49
Right, ageeed. And refs discuss the scouting report before the games. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:55:47
I don’t hate it anymore because it’s clear how bad the B1G refs have been for years now. Cleaning - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 10:43:21
There's some truth here, but just changing out the officials isn't going to be the panacea you seek* - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:50:49

Rumor is 2 games. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:18:46
I don't see how anyone would know at this point that he can't play Saturday - GMAW February 25, 2021, 10:21:48
Yeah I don't know. Just what I got over a text... - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:23:56

Yeah I think so too. National media has been all over him this year.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 10:44:34
I would like to think so.* - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:24:35
Anyone in the conversation for npoy has to have first team locked up, I would think* - Taz February 25, 2021, 10:26:01
Stop desiging world renowned COVID tests and make a mask for Ayo! - HamptonSki February 25, 2021, 10:15:50
Whatever game Robbie Hummell is doing, we'll hear about him having to wear someone else's mask * - jdl February 25, 2021, 10:15:03
Not surprising. They have to fit and mold them I think.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 10:14:09
yeah i have no idea the turn around time on those - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 10:16:07
I’d think that they didn’t even do the X-ray until yesterday morning. That’s a short turnaround - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 10:18:56
Quite possibly but I feel major universities have the connections to get a quicker turnaround - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 10:48:23
no, but the silence is deafening. Several Illini beat writers are being tagged in tweets - illfan23 February 25, 2021, 10:09:27
Nothing is confirmed.* - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 10:08:36
Any one have the footage of when Ayo broke his nose? Sorry if down below* - ibdoc February 25, 2021, 10:02:47

Be careful what you wish for. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:05:49
True...But LOL at msu fans equating Sissoko's wild flailing that hurt Ayo to - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 10:11:23
You don't want to read their fan comments. It's like we're in 1988 talking about the Pistons. - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 10:15:33
Good point...definitely a culture of coverup at that u* - Jackie February 25, 2021, 10:19:19

The "good" thing is that after this breaks, the league won't suffer this nonsense - GMAW February 25, 2021, 9:28:33
Can we pull a Michigan and just say we don’t feel like playing the next 2 games?* - OB25 February 25, 2021, 9:21:04
On account it’s contagious.* - timmer February 25, 2021, 10:12:18
does the conference verify positive covid tests? - snipes824 February 25, 2021, 9:27:23
Gotta shut down due to “contact tracing.” * - Ron McDon February 25, 2021, 10:15:21
i think scUM shut down without positive tests, so we can too* - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 9:33:23
They were shut down by the state. * - illini February 25, 2021, 9:49:28
You see, our situation is different from theirs, so we're going to do what we want* - jayd February 25, 2021, 9:36:06
Michigan has the potential to have said no to our game and then missed Ayo. - Carl Spackler February 25, 2021, 9:26:08
Due to an abundance of caution.... - jdl February 25, 2021, 9:25:51
Izzo better get raked over the coals by the BTN talking heads tonight. - Illiniphil February 25, 2021, 9:19:52
LOL. He's beloved. - Chicago1995 February 25, 2021, 9:40:27
They'll applaud the toughness he installed reminiscent of his early teams - RangerDanger February 25, 2021, 9:28:31
"They wear football pads in practice!"* - Jackie February 25, 2021, 9:44:53
Yup. They use to tongue his balls about this all the time* - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 10:03:48
LOL he will be lauded for cajoling his team to play like cornered animals. #### that guy.* - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 9:24:41
Saw an article from the DFP basically saying exactly that* - ilinni11 February 25, 2021, 9:31:58
Same goon state and city that jacked off to the dirty-ass Pistons. It's to be expected.* - uofi1998 February 25, 2021, 9:47:29
#### you, izzo* - VIV February 25, 2021, 9:16:29
Seriously. What a legitimately terrible person. * - illini February 25, 2021, 9:22:55

^this times 1000* - GhostofPokeyStixPast February 25, 2021, 9:17:10
Let say this again. We have a FF quality team. We got to MSU and Izzo turns his goons lose - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 9:11:13
Well, in general they don't - jdl February 25, 2021, 9:18:22
This has to be part of the reason* - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 9:25:31
I think so - jdl February 25, 2021, 9:28:07
Tom Izzo "Basketball" - Chicago1995 February 25, 2021, 8:59:02
Izzo probably also pissed he lost a 5star recruit who is zooming with the Illini staff* - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 9:09:55
this makes sense as to why his mom was flipping out on Twitter after the game.* - illfan23 February 25, 2021, 8:54:49
I assumed she was flipping out because her son was getting mauled and the refs seemed - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 8:58:06
both are likely true* - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 9:05:17
I wonder if this is one of the reason's Underwood talked about him going in the draft - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 8:45:18
Reminds me exactly of how LSU coach Dale Brown demanded Shaq go pro his Junior year back in '92. - illinilosch February 25, 2021, 8:52:16
I don't think Shaq was literally beaten to death - ATL February 25, 2021, 8:55:57
No, but this game is the reason he uses Icy Hot today. - osklister February 25, 2021, 9:29:52
So Rennis dunked on zombie Shaq? * - jdl February 25, 2021, 8:58:06
the most elaborate weekend at bernie-ing ever* - biclops February 25, 2021, 8:57:11
#### the B1G and these ####ing refs for letting it get to this point - jayd February 25, 2021, 8:43:44
the refs in this particular game should be held accountable...terrible in general, - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 9:06:48
Can we just go on a covid pause?* - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 8:42:54
Do it like scUM...we don't have positives on the hoops team, but some 3rd string - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 9:09:03
We should. Give the big ten the middle finger and say we will be back in 2 weeks* - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 8:46:59
He clearly had a mark on his nose the other night when shooting FTs. Man, that sucks.* - voiceofreason February 25, 2021, 8:42:04
Well guys, MSU and Izzo just got upgraded in the all time hate list* - Cunativeson February 25, 2021, 8:42:00

FUJW better raise holy hell with the B1G* - Jackie February 25, 2021, 8:40:34
That phone call should have happened during the game. - osklister February 25, 2021, 8:45:53
I was kind of taking that L in stride, wasn't our game, they mucked it up, etc - John Coctostan February 25, 2021, 8:45:16
Well said. - illinijohn February 25, 2021, 13:57:08
Its too simple to blame it on the league offices. - CWR10 February 25, 2021, 8:49:51
Eh i don't buy that. The league office could clean it up tomorrow if they chose to - John Coctostan February 25, 2021, 9:07:44

90/10 rule in effect * - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 8:41:43
So let’s say they sit him for the last 4 games and we lose all 3 road games - OB25 February 25, 2021, 8:40:35
All teams get to submit any known issues like this - jdl February 25, 2021, 8:43:51
Unless they abandon looking at injuries, they’d have to consider it. - Carl Spackler February 25, 2021, 8:42:49
If they ever did abandon it, this would be the year, as there might just be too much to do it fairly - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:46:16
Yep, posted that in another thread - jdl February 25, 2021, 8:51:09
Yes* - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:42:43
Or so they say......but this year will be a mess in that department. - HectorVillanueva19 February 25, 2021, 9:44:15

Yeah, I heard "a few games" * - 1 NEW February 25, 2021, 8:33:24
As someone who broke his twice, you can play with a busted nose. * - illini February 25, 2021, 8:14:14
Same here. He must not have passed concussion check afterwards* - GhostofPokeyStixPast February 25, 2021, 9:16:21
can you play if you have a concussion from when you got your nose broke?* - illfan23 February 25, 2021, 8:42:45
I was just going to ask this. Don’t guys play with a broken nose all the time? - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:16:14
Makes me wonder if he also had a concussion or some swelling that's impacted his breathing - illini February 25, 2021, 8:29:44
Someone on Loyalty is claiming they couldn't get the mask in time for tonight - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:49:51
Maybe it's just an excuse not to play before he transfers ;-) * - ATL February 25, 2021, 8:26:02
Time to break out the Rip Hamilton mask* - Cunativeson February 25, 2021, 8:18:56
I almost posted during FTs that his nose looked broken. * - Tuscy February 25, 2021, 8:14:05
Nope. No doughnuts for you. ;-) * - illinijohn February 25, 2021, 11:05:17
If true, start Curbelo or Williams? * - larue33 February 25, 2021, 8:05:40
Curbelo, for sure* - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:08:26
Williams on senior night?* - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 8:07:57
That’s probably right, but Curbelo will play 35 minutes if Ayo is out* - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:09:30
Double double assists and turnovers? * - meanjeans February 25, 2021, 9:27:16
Not sure he can play that long without fouling out* - Mrap24 February 25, 2021, 8:13:05
He’s going to need to be smart. This team’s ability to create offense without Ayo or Belo - GMAW February 25, 2021, 8:15:06
Definitely. I just think we start the two seniors in this case. - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 8:10:50
that's a strong call too...that makes TF the primary ball handler. - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 8:09:02
my first thought is...that would make 2 frosh starters. not good... - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 8:06:55
Belo * - jdl February 25, 2021, 8:06:42
If true, that is heart-breaking for him. Bad enough that fans can't be there to - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 7:59:06
as an aside, Diglet#1 broke his nose/possible concussion last night in last warm up before - OWWDig February 25, 2021, 8:08:00
Oh man, just realized if this is true, it ruins Ayo's last home game* - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 7:45:07
And Iowa fans will point to it as to why he isn't POTY* - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 7:46:21
Did it happen when Sissoko jammed his elbow into Ayo's face mid flight and the - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 25, 2021, 7:40:16
Yes * - 1 NEW February 25, 2021, 7:41:03
I don't think he made a shot after that* - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 7:44:48
He made a layup just before the buzzer * - jdl February 25, 2021, 7:59:31
Ok* - Tooldresser February 25, 2021, 8:00:33
That is an accomplishment given how many layups we didn't make that game* - Dilbert February 25, 2021, 8:11:49
I've heard the same from my sources * - 1 NEW February 25, 2021, 7:37:59
