#Illini Underwood: It's been a good week. Added some things offensively. Spent some time on late-game situations. Challenging week for guys mentally between that & getting ready for finals.

#illini Underwood: Had a long talk with Andres Feliz after we got back from recent trips. His maturity and experience, we need. You get that production from him and Samba off the bench, that's a really good day. Told him minutes wouldn't change despite coming off bench.
