Krush are doing their job today.

 

[D1959]

Will Riley, And morez Johnson grew up big time today

This lineup up kind of shows how much faster we are without kj. Kj is great, but he doesn't push the pace nearly as much as he should.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

42 3pt attempts against Nebraska. Just 20 today. Just saying.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Love the lineup of 2 Freshmen, one Junior and two Sophomores right now.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

I mean, I get his point. Will appears afraid to draw contact. He needs to go up strong with that and attempt to hammer it home.

 

[DeeIL89]

When Morez stay out of foul trouble we have one of the best big men combo with him and Tomi in the conference.

 

[walzon]

man if morrez can get a mid range jumper....mike tisdale and davis part 2?

 

[Rap47]

Anyone who thinks we are better without K J is boneheaded stupid.

The team is giving them something to cheer for.

Also, another observation... notice the shots we've been getting lately? Notice what they aren't? We've taken almost no 3's lately and we've attacked. We are so so so much better when we attack first and let our 3's be a second or 3rd option. Again, coaching malpractice of Underwood in the past to tell us to shoot 50 a game..

Amped up D, inspired by Will‘s O, maybe!?

Sometimes seeing shots go in multiple possessions in a row is the best defensive motivator. Making shots also allows our defense to set before OSU has the ball and not allow transition attempts

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Everybody don’t kid yourself that we are better without KJ but this is a message from coach that if you don’t take ball control seriously or make your free throws no one is above sitting!

 

[FloridaMan]

I suspect we will hear he is questionable the next couple games. Likely to get his head about him.

 

[JSpence]

These shooting stats are wild.
Team : FG / 3P / FT
OSU : 39 / 55 / 91
ILL : 52 / 20 / 74

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

All this without KJ, wild

 

[Jon]

Kylan is impossible to predict at the rim, lmao

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

BAM!!!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

KYLAN!!!!!! GOING EFFING OFF!!!!!

 

[OneTime3]

Really nice cut there.

 

[Illini8420]

This is a huge win for us mentally if we close it out.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Make FTs Riley!
