Illinois 95, Iowa 85 Postgame
He has a depth of prior experience to draw from
Question is: what does bu do?
Bench Ty to relieve the other positions besides PG? Stronger bench.
Start Moretti? Illinois do need a true PG who can shoot the 3.
Sub Hansberry and DD more? I believe so, if DD can just finish around the basket from .5 feet away.
Limit Domask's offensive output? He was non-existent in the 2nd half. Good to have as a threat anyway.
I typed before not to give up on Goode, but maybe with Moretti's play and other subs being adequate, maybe his playing time should be limited. Then MAC school next year, if he chooses.

Played great today, but he struggles when playing more athletic teams.
yeah that was bizzare..
his post moves were the best theyve looked in a while, he was absolutely leaving freeman and krikke in the dust (LOL) only to shortarm the layup.
Good win and come back to win.
If you don’t think DJ and Courtney will be reffing our game in Iowa City, you don’t know Big Ten basketball. That game is gonna say a LOT about this team.

Great palate cleanser. The boys showed up during winning time. Glad to see they still have that gear.
Congratulations to Nico. He had a huge impact when we needed a shot in the arm. Knocking down those 3’s got us back in it mentally & we rode that to a ten point win.

Everyone needs to thank me for refusing to believe we’d lose to Iowa at home.
I noticed starters sat on the bench for longer minutes. The subs held their own. Was it a coincidence the defense performed well late in the game because the starters were maybe not as tired as before?
bu should've been doing this from the beginning. Keep faith in the subs to spell minutes for the starters. I noticed CH had more energy towards the end.

Brad should hand this photo to every player when they get off the bus in State College. I never wanted to jump through my tv and throw hands with a player more than this moment right here. Ugh. This flippin guy. Looks like cousin Andy from curb your enthusiasm.

Really happy for Hawkins The stat of the game is a really good sign. 1000 conference wins! If you remember, there was another 1000 milestone in the 04-05 season, and our offensive stats are extremely close to that team. Retribution is coming almost 20 years later
Nobody gets benched, but you can control who starts and who ends games. Nico clearly has to be on the floor. Ty needs to learn how to shoot, so he can play off the ball. He's too limited to have him in a game late. It's 4 on 5.
Didn't they basically hit all of their FTs? Unreal.
21-25. We were 23-27… if you don’t count Dain.

Don't mean to be a downer, but is everybody going to drop at least 80 on the Illini the rest of the season?
It's not a work in progress. This is what they are at this point.
The answer to this teams woes is having a guy who can run things late. I don't care who it is. If he's going to handle the ball, run the offense and make open shots....he plays. This is a team that is that particular position away from being 22-5 vs 20-7. We flat out wet ourselves into two losses. I'll leave the Northwestern loss out of it to be conservative.
Going to be honest: I'd like to see Nico start in one of these games to see if he can contribute early on--by hitting some early threes.
Ty's FT shooting is suspect, although he's improving as of late. I do feel Ty can be out there in the end, but not as a PG. He can defend, and be a apart of a smaller lineup if need be.

As long as we score 90+, I’m good with that!
