If you asked Fran Fraschilla to spell Dain's last name, what do you think he'd say?
Been looking for that inside out and around play for years!! This team is built to do that!

Love the recognition by Dain to kick out when the double came.
Hockey assists should be a thing in basketball.

Skyy Clark has had a really strong game on the boards. Bailed out RJ there who was just watching the play
Big Ten is gonna be tough for us if we rebound like this. They aren’t even a big team compared to us, just out hustling and out smarting.
Heck of a game. Both of these teams are elite defensively.

Agreed. Wish he would be more aggressive hunting his shot. Kid can score but he seems hesitant.
He has. Was out of control a bit.
He has. But been resting for a bit. Might be to get his energy up for these final 5 minutes. We're going to need his defense and press
No press today? Even token press...
It feels like Virginia has been on the verge of pulling away multiple times and we've been able to hit shots at the right time to keep it close. Just need to do a little more to get over the hump.
Unfortunately, RJ has been watching a lot of plays. I just tried to remember it that he has had limited playing experience.
I think he has played. Missed a 3 earlier IIRC.

UVA is mostly upperclassmen with a ton of experience. We are an all-new team that has played 4 games together and plays 5 freshmen. Wild you wouldn't be able to tell which is which.
Stat lines are almost even. Great match-up

This may come down to making free throws. I'd like to feel good about that, but I don't.
We are a terrible free throw shooting team.
Yep, this tempo does not favor the Illini.
Dainja playing huge for us here

He's our 9th man of 9.
Eight man rotation is typical (unless you're praying for a spark, as was needed on Friday).
GREAT PUMP FAKE PASS AND MAKE! LET'S GO!
DAINJA TIME!!!!
