Illinois Alums Light Up NBA Playoffs

On May 3, Illinois Hoops is on fire, since Brad Underwood took the reins, turning Champagne into a straight NBA factory.

Two Elinealums, Iodosanmoo and Terrant Shannon Jr. linked up on the Minnesota Timberwolves and just powered them past the Denver Nuggets Inn, the playoffs.

Dosanmoo got traded from the Chicago Bulls at the February deadline, and with star Anthony Edwards sidelined by injury, both wings finally got real run, without stepping on each other's toes.

Fans and teammates are buzzing about these Illinois products, stepping up Big Dosanmoo s burst lit up social media, and Shannon earned props for staying, ready after limited early minutes.

Dosanmoo dropped 25 points and 9 assists in Game 3 for a Wolzwin, then unleashed 43 off the bench in Game 4's career.

High, perfect from the line, and first such, 40 plus since Steph Curry back in 2016.

He started Game 5 with 18 points, but a calf tweaked sat him for the closeout.

Shannon grabbed his first playoff start in Game 6, logging 38 minutes for 24 points and 6 boards, attacking the rim all night.

To seal the series, and send Minnesota to face the San Antonio Spurs next round.

Elineal pride is thriving in the league right now.
