Exhibition is what it is. Hard to draw real conclusions. Anybody know what percentage level of Cincy starters played versus ours?
Illinois 105, Cincinnati 96 (Exhibition) Postgame
One would expect more minutes from SV and Z, but that would be forgetting that BU needs to find two guys off the bench that he can trust, He would likely prefer even more of these types of preseason games with which to do that. Brown looks to have a spot, and maybe JJ.
I assume there were some messages being sent...
And I heard Illinois has several freshmen that played their first college game. Is that true?
Incorrect, Vaaks was 2 of 6 from 3 but yes Brown was 3 of 7.
Coleman flirting with a triple double in his first game is interesting.
Will try to upload videos from my comp tomorrow! Gonna be another fun year
I know I've been too nitpicky and negative at times, but
If the Illini Freshmen played half the minutes,
without Mirk,
against a potentially Top 30 team
with an impressive defense
on the road, "packed house" or not, then . . . . . . . .
this VICTORY is a validation that this Illini team is a National Contender--no doubt!

Thx for catch.. Tomi was 3 of 4 i believe
Coleman has a fun personality
Illini in Indiana
- Indiana
Thank you Dan! Glad basketball is back
Not only that, Cincy beat Ohio State a week ago 79-68. This by no means was a push over team.
Wow we got dudes.
Yeah offensively I can’t imagine there’s a better team out there. I mean it’s just a unit with overwhelming talent, size and unselfishness
We are not rolling out A lineup and good defense on purpose. Underwood stated younger kids by all accounts were going to play bunch and he was going to throw whacko lineups on floor.By all means, dissect the first exhibition game with an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope.
Brad said brown starting was a reward for how he has done in practice
Much better than BUs first exhibition@ Illinois losing to Eastern Illinois. Highlights looks like we have a bunch of guys that can do damage. Again doing it without Mirk
