Didn't see much of LB in that half.
What, 5-6 minutes?
Hope he can get at least that next half

KenPom predicted an Illini 8-point win, so right on track.

Need to get the bigs involved in the second half. We aren't getting any easy buckets right now.

Stop Keon Johnson and we win. Plan has to be is go at him on offense a couple of time and try to pick up fouls or at least make him work on defense. On his drives knock him on his !!! hard. He is chest bumping our bigs.

Also make this game a war of attrition. We are much deeper and bigger.

Wonder why a guy like Keon wouldn't be a grad transfer to a bigger program. I guess loyalty goes a long way. He has size limitations, but at the level he is pretty effective.

I'm reading both teams got hit with preemptive carry violations during 2nd half warmups

Easier said then done.

Guys like him get off on physical contact. Knock him down and he'll bounce right back up, hit the free throws, and drive right at the big again.

Maverick and Big Mike have spent a lot of time together on the bench tonight.

Why do they do this every year? Why do refs call all this tick-tack BS for 10-15 games and then we get into the B1G and it's an utter slugfest. It's just farcical.

The play is awfully sloppy, but I will not be surprised to see Winthrop back in the Tourney. Solid team.

Yeah, Thorne getting tired of weak short dudes getting rebounds from him. Lock in big man.

That's twice now that JCL has passed up a wide open driving lane to shoot a jumper. Come on kid. You can make a layup.

Are you serious like come on bigs cant play at all right now without being called for a foul. Let them play its basketball there is going to be some contact. I like Big Bo getting that rebound and being fouled even though they didn't call it
