It is time to hit them with a match-up zone...push them out and see what happens. Not that I am in love with zone, but they have a couple of guys who can be run off their briar patch and made uncomfortable and confused.

Need to get some defensive stops, and not give up any more offensive boards. Defense and glass has to get better or tough to find a W tonight.

I'd like to see us rely a lot less on 1 action offense: ball screen up top everybody else stand behind the arc watching and waiting to jack a guarded 3. Where are our other sets and actions? Hell, run the weave some more (can't believe I said that)

So far Belo isn't in our top 3 or even 4 players. Show me something me something over and over. Be a consistent player ike Plummer, Jacob and Trent.
He can be but he has to get consistent.

He is at worst our 3rd best player. I don't know nor care about so far. I know what he is.

Only 5 fouls on each team so far. At least we don't have a stoppage every possession.

You forgot the two touch fouls called on Kofi, to be prorated upon his return.

Why do we always suffer 10min mark to end of first half?? Last 7 games:

Missouri 14, Illinois 13
Minnesota 15, Illinois 13
Maryland 25, Illinois 9
Nebraska 13, Illinois 12
Michigan 12, Illinois 12
Purdue 19, Illinois 12
Maryland 17, Illinois 14

And we won most of these by double digits…

Boomerang of our slow starts in the 1st 10 min of game/half last year?

It's his second game back after a long concussion.

I have taken care of all important Illini problems in this game. I was not wearing any Illini gear....what was I thinking?

Yes. Nice little run. DMW doing the little things. Still don’t have a good feeling about this game.

I realize he’s small and not a great defender, but you have to think there’s an outside shot Plummer sips a cup of coffee in the league at some point for his shooting alone

Russell has Frazier-like quickness.
