Weber hopes Illini won't look ahead to Saturday

Weber said despite the Michigan clunker, Iowa has been playing much better overall.

"The key to their progress is (Aaron) Fuller's numbers in the league," Weber said of the 6-foot-6 forward. "He's a handful on the offensive glass, a tough matchup, that undersized (power forward) who is mobile and crashes the glass. He has a nose for the ball and he gets put-backs at key times."

Fuller is averaging 11.7 points and 7.6 rebounds in Big Ten play. And he has become the No. 1 offensive rebounder in the league.
