Sadly I don’t even know what Andrej’s role is on this team. He doesn’t have one major strength, not a good shooter, struggles in traffic and not a good defender. Insane amount of money for someone not producing.

Tre White is better, maybe a lot better. The team would be better if we had Tre and Morez. Oh well....

Honest question: do we say before the game, "hey these guys are really big and physical - we should try to take it to the hoop on them"? Not sure I can see what the game plan is. Get them in foul trouble? Not working.

We’re in the game. What do you wanna do be totally one dimensional and do nothing but spray threes without kick outs from drives and post ups. AND Pick and pop aint much good if you can’t knock down the big ones, right?

We just can’t afford to be one dimensional either.(too easy to guard…especially with this much height & athelticism.) I’d like to think we could have better offense than Bam putting up so many 3 balls. But hey, I sure am glad Bos has gone to the hoop…he’s the main reason we’re still in this. On a night when A.S. is a no show and Tomi can’t buy a basket…Keaton’s playing through pain…
I’m glad Bos is creating.

I mean come on.

Yeah in an offense meant to play spread it out and kick for 3s, his offensive game is ISO drives. I think the only spot he fits is if they matchup hunt and let him play in the post but there’s nobody he has an advantage over going against a team like Michigan

I'm embarrassed by this fan section. Momentum is such a powerful thing in sports and even when we get a decent play its only the front row with the energy. There are how many students at this school? If this is the best we got, open it up to people that actually wanna keep this place energized. Screw the current students if this is the best they have to offer. WTF It would be so easy to pack that place with crazy energetic illini fans. What the hell are we doing?

Michigan is playing our guards really physical. Every time we have the ball they’re bodying up. Not enough to foul, but be disruptive. It’s working well for them.
