Purdue' shooting contributed to that. But, I kinda like Underwood's idea of bringing him off the bench. Needs more mins., which Underwood has acknowledged.Started 11-0 vs Purdue with AG on the bench.

I would like to see Tevian get a 4 minute run regardless of mistakes. I understand the teaching moments but lately it seems like first mistake and hes out within a minute. Its hard to get in any type of rhythm playing less than a minute. We are going to need the bench to show up again. I would love for this to be Tevian's breakout game.
Yes. Good point.Started 11-0 vs Purdue with AG on the bench.
Purdue's best shooter was easily 6 foot 6. Frazier took him completely out of the game. Damonte is a good defender, but nowhere near as good as Trent.He's certainly been very good, but he's only going to guard smaller guys. DaMonte can guard anyone from a 5'10" kid up to a 6'7" kid.
We've been up and down this year. I'm not sure what to think about tonite, but
I do know that if this team is going to make the tournament games like this are
must wins. Against "middle of the big ten" competition and in a hostile environ-
ment. Plus, we are by far the more athletic team. If you've watched Wisconsin,
they look like a good YMCA team physically.
Agreed Ayo and Andres do not get pulled when they try to drive through three or four opposing players and throw the ball awayI would like to see Tevian get a 4 minute run regardless of mistakes.

As much as I want the same thing, when he comes in the game and gets beat on defense and then stops ball movement on offense to go iso and commit an offensive foul...it’s hard for BU to keep him in
From just a quick glance at those T rankings, Illini have 4 players in the top 35. Which is tied for 1st
Illini are 3-22 on the road under Brad Underwood...
That 3 of them are...and our best bench guy is. That's literally what it says.And 2 of our starters, Giorgi (#74) and DaMonte (#93) are not on that list of 4 players. Not sure what that says.
Ouch. Hopefully, it goes up starting tonight...Illini are 3-22 on the road under Brad Underwood...
. I don't see our guys winning as they simply cannot match the Badgers in half court play and do not have much patience resulting in too many fumbles, charges, and wild shots as the shot clock winds down.

8 home games 8 away games left
We are 2 and 2
Three of the road games are against Top 20 teams
Suppose we go 9- 7 and finish 19-12
Does that get us in the tournament?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think 10 wins has Illinois dancing.IMHO if we are over .500 in the BIG we will make it and we probably don't if we finish 10-10 absent winning a couple in the BIG tourney. A lot of season left. A win tonight would go a long way towards getting us in the dance.
