Inarguably we are a lot further along on the defense side of the ball than the offensive.
Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

Coleman is playing as great on D as he is bad at the other end. Yeesh
If Hawkins was on a different B1G team, he'd be one of my least favorite players in the conference.
Mayer has 2 fouls.

At least he is being aggressive
That's only half true. His offense and handles have not been good, but his defense has been absolutely elite thus far. He's a big reason UCLA isn't getting quality shots
defense is good offense has too much dribbling
I didn't mind the last one, seemed in rhythm. The one prior was not good selection imo.

I tdont think the passes to him have been particularly easy. Especially the lobs. A lot of these turnovers (not all of them) are a result of the guys getting used to each other
His defense has been very good

Coleman's pump fake isn't very good in the first place. But it definitely won't be effective if he does it 90 percent of the time.
Rj and hawkins have seriously regressed through 3.5 games and it’s incredibly concerning
4 TO's on CH with no points and no boards. We need him to settle down
Hawkins putting in a Damonte-like performance (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing)
Fantastic D, but doesn’t want to shoot.
Fantastic D, but doesn’t want to shoot.
He has a ton of turnovers he is canceling his good play on defense

Love these takes
I think the turnovers will be a thing for Illini until they get used to playing together. As much as we want to see a polished game tonight, I think so far it has been positive to see them playing very good D against a good team. So far.

Yes, outstanding. Only reason he is still in.
Now, now… Damonte was invisible on offense for long stretches. Coleman has been painfully visible on O tonight.
