Demonstrated some nice play making! Unselfish player.Finished with 7pts, 10rebs, 5ast, no turnovers.
1/5 from 3 is a negative, but did just about everything else.

Basically just be Kylan but shoot at least 33-34% from deep… seems doable to me.thanks for the updates!
anyone standout in this game? was the effort better overall?
honestly if QC can just bring this effort and all around game, even without the shooting, he becomes a great 4th or 5th option! with the shooting, watching out!
I feel good about his shooting. There is no rhythm to these FIBA games so far - no need to play the game correctly because the comp is so inferior; ball movement, teammate movement, opposing defender movement is all unpredictable. You get the ball when you don't expect it and vice-versa. He's gotten a lot of attempts but over half have been second-chance. Ethical hooper, as they say.I hope the Illini 3pt shooting curse isn’t hitting already. (from everything I’ve seen said about him, he is a very good shooter)
Good lord..that curse enabled a final four..give me all kinds of "curses" like thatI hope the Illini 3pt shooting curse isn’t hitting already. (from everything I’ve seen said about him, he is a very good shooter)

Wagler and Davis certainly didn't seem to be affected!That myth was debunked long ago anyhow
Simple statistical before/after analysis proved out that players shot about the same percentage from 3 here as they did at their prior stops overall (yet with plenty of outliers which are what color folks' perceptions, imo)
They are using the FIBA ball. There is a weight and size difference. Never really thought about it much, but a very good point you bring up!Are they using the FIBA ball as well? An excuse I know but I remember the last euro trip we went on, Brad mentioned that’s a bit of a factor with shooting.
I think we were the tallest team in the country last year. I would imagine we will be in the running for that again this year.Quentin will continue the tradition of great rebounding Illini guards. Killing it at U18 12.5 rbg in first 2 games. A
2026 - Quentin ___

2024 Kaspar 6 rbg Kylan 5 rbg
2023 Marcus 5 rbg

2020 Ayo 4 rbg
Stefan is 6'7" he can certainly improve on last seasons 2.5 rbg. Our positional size on defense will be just as good as last year

We will probably be tallest team in B10 again. We may be most experienced team in B10

I believe this was Michigan State commit Ethan Taylor. Continuing the legacy of good sportsmanship...
