Is There Anyone in Illini Orange & Blue Who Can Fill The Shoes of Ayo?
The loss to Marquette Monday night confirms Illinois isn’t yet ready as a program to withstand the loss of a consensus first-team All-American such as Ayo Dosunmu.

MILWAUKEE -- In the last five minutes of a close game against a downtrodden Marquette program, Andre Curbelo tried and failed spectacularly to prove he’s Illinois’ next replacement for Ayo Dosunmu.
Recruiting: Illinois Gets Its Man - Ty Rodgers Will Wear Orange and Blue
Illinois made it clear this year that it wanted two outstanding guards in the class of 2022 and one dominant wing. Both guards signed are four-star recruits: Sencire Harris is a 6-foot-3, 160-pound combo guard from Akron, Ohio, and Jayden Epps is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound point guard from Suffolk, Virginia.
Now add Ty Rodgers, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound small forward originally from Grand Blanc, Michigan, who recently transferred to Thornton High School in Harvey, Illinois.

MILWAUKEE -- In order to close out its first road test of the 2021-22 season, Illinois turned to its celebrated sophomore point guard and Andre Curbelo simply couldn’t deliver.
Sturdy's Takeaway - 8 Minutes of Futility
With 8:28 to play, the Illini had an 8-point lead and looked in control on the road at Marquette. Fans watched the collapse live or on TV and were shocked as the Illini fell to Marquette 67-66. Some said Illinois didn't run any offense down the stretch. They did, but didn't execute. Some felt Illinois didn't let Trent Frazier run the point. They did, that didn't work either. Here's a breakdown of each possession in the final 8:28, where the Illini offense had 1 free throw and no field goals in the final 5:36.
10th ranked Illini give victory to Marquette, 67-66

Illinois holds a 9-5 edge in the all-time series that has never before seen the two teams meet before Thanksgiving.
