well, that was fun to watch, notwithstanding the L.

we weren't that great, but we were right in it with the #3 team in the country on a neutral court. and man oh man, trent was awesome.

Maybe this could be a 2019 tournament team after all (with consistent improvement)... goodnight everyone.

Gonzaga overrated or Illini underrated?

The only thing that got curbstomped is our expectations.

Great finish.

Reminds me of when BP3 was a play maker. Too bad we didn't come out on the winning end but we are looking good. Lets keep getting better

"All night" in this case means the last 8 minutes or so, because he was a non-factor for 3/4 of the game. Still, just because he is the hot hand doesn't mean it's a high percentage shot, and I'd be a little surprised if Underwood's ideal situation was a three shot from the Big Island.
Underwood’s ideal situation was put the ball in Trent’s hands and let him be Trent. That’s how Illinois got back into the game. I don’t think he was mad with the play. Result notwithstanding.

Wish Jordan could of made a free throw or a three Down the stretch. :(

We are good. Just need to tighten up some stuff.

A ball screen so Trent can get a mismatch switch out top is exactly what we're looking for there. What high percentage two are you looking for? A Giorgi post up?

That was the right play for this team.

ORANGE, Ya glad ya stayed up for that...I am, in hindsite, the team made me want too, and I am not sure there was 1 game last year that I would have said that about....we are on the mend.

Side note, Griffin looks to be gaining some steam, dare I say Kipper is going to get left out moving forward?
