I actually agree about shooters needing to shoot.but any coach worth his wait in salt knows if said shooter can hit the broad side of a barn and plays the worst defense in illini uniform for years maybe other then the groce era.look man I understand he had a decent night no denying that and I'm not rooting against him but any coach will play the play the player that's going to win him the game and until tonight that hasn't been ben.im not saying not to give a shooter a chance to shoot but by your standing if we played Ben over morez in bragging rights that would have been a loss.ben brought nothing to that game other then points for mizzou it goes both ways.so youd give up morez development over 3 decent games by Ben and horrible defensive play?I'm not trying to argue if that is the case then I'd have to call you the amateur

You sure you are not trying to argue?? You have posted the same thing multiple times so we get it. He played terrific tonight so maybe just enjoy it.

I'm not trying to be confrontational but 3 games out of 12 won't cut for what we all aspire truthfully I was hoping riley would step up but he hasnt. However you are right there's still plenty of season left to play just some if not most of those games defensive Ben has been unplayable or a given bucket case in point mizzou game.i really hope going forward Ben and will can truly push themselves to be better cause that position truly is the missing link to go far in march.ILL

I have a serious question….do you understand defensive rotation, help defense, sink and fill, etc?

Football and basketball in Eugene this year: Illini +3 points!

Have the Illini ever scored 226 points in back to back games? Ever??

Awesome! And yes, as recently as the canceled season they had the back-to-back 100+ games. But that was against cannon fodder.

Something for the Monday morning quarterbacks to chew on - you know how Oregon only got whistled for about 6 fouls in the first 30 minutes? Maybe they should have tried foulding more!

In 1988 when we blew away LSU (on the road) LSU coach Dale Brown said Illinois was the best college basketball team he'd ever seen.

I went to bed at the start of the game and woke up to THIS!
WOW!
I looked at the score and saw the 109 and assumed Oregon spanked Illinois. After I blinked I realized my error.
Oskee wow wow.

I don't know why people keep labeling Ben as a terrible defender. Have you actually focused on him while ignoring the ball for extended time? Personally, I don't see it, partly because his b-ball IQ is so high.
From the box score:
1. Morez two of two at the line. Looks like he's been working hard on that aspect of the game.
2. I expected this from Tre from the time I first watched his film. Don't expect him to drop 20 every game, but he's coming on stronger and stronger.
3. six assists and only two turnovers for KJ. I think we'd take that every time and so would he.
4. 64 points in one half? Are you kidding me?
5. Can't expect 55% from deep every night out, but regularly in the 40s wouldn't surprise me.
6. We have a lethal collection of big guards that's problematic for opponents. KJ, Riley, Tre and Davis are all 6-6 or taller. For that matter, Ben, at 6-9 might be called a guard.
7. Boswell keeps coming on stronger with each game.

In the thousands of simulations that the computers ran, I wonder if THAT result ever came up. 😀

Good morning all.................hope today finds you in a positive frame of mind as much as I am in over the last 3 days of glorious wins in Illini FB and last night roasting of the # 9 Ducks.......it , without a doubt , has been the best medicine that good ole pru could ever have had.........

Talk about a true TEAM effort on a late night for all of us Central time zoner's to enjoy and savor.........the lads unleashed a barrage of athleticism and skill upon the ducks and they withered like a fart in a whirlwind............total arse kickin and taking names , as we used to say in the Cro-Magnum past era of my life...........Release the hounds and watch them hunt , and hunt they did.....

They really really really did...........

To all my Illini brothers and sisters here who have shown love and support in my 3 + weeks absence from the board I say thank you from the bottom of my O & B heart............To those of you who have posted about your trials and tribulations regarding health problems , I offer you the same support level as I have received........it means a lot to me to have that support so I want to share that support with you too.........

Thank you Jake & DGL for keeping us in the game in the 1st half........As BU stated so too the point last night , you 2 Illini won the game for us , so the rest of the Illini could come out and lay the wood to the yellow and green horde in the second half ......

The second half performance by the beloved was a masterpiece in how to break down an opponent's will to compete.......Last night's game will be remembered by ole pru as poetry in motion with so many highlight plays to witness.........
