Not often do you get to say you faced a much stiffer test than your previous game and you win by 42
Illinois 112, Penn 70 Postgame
Has Illinois ever had back to back 110+ games?
Jakstys played more minutes than Z.
The Tomi—Jakstys lineup got more run than the Tomi—Z lineup.
Z was definitely more impactful.

Z rounding into form at the right time. Loved his play today. Wish he hit that 3.
I think we will see a lot of teams die in the second half of games against us. Here’s to hoping TT is the next one on Tuesday night.
Incredible sequence:
1.287 points per possession on 87 possessions.

- interviewing new NL's daily....I really really am
{ 2-0 } { 0-0 }
Two games into the season and the lads are having fun.........they really really are ...............
Andre and Quinton were driving the rim like it was a quest and showed talented moves all game long ......Coleman NEVER STOPS ....
I watched him after his paint buckets and hustled his arse back on defense , not flexing or poising but just playing the game.......
so many highlights but I'm so impressed with our freshman and their different skillsets..........Coleman , Brown , Zens , Morillo , Williams all are top notch performers so far and Davis is not far behind ............
Disappointed not seeing some vintage Franny but this victory makes up for that .....................
We are a very explosive and skilled TEAM ........even this early in the season I can see a tight and cohesive squad........
next up Texas Tech ...........LET'S GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!! .........
Enjoy the win Illini Nation .....we are showing championship caliber play , even without Mirko - Man ........

Pretty terrific game to watch and enjoy for Illini fans. I don't think we will see Mirk get much over 25 min. as he will be challenged for awhile to play at the pace we are seeing now.
But, he does bring some advantages at times, especially when he is hitting threes at a 40% rate, and BU just might slow things down to focus on them. Jake will fit seamlessly if and when he returns as he is willing to run and pass and shoot quickly.
So far, we are seeing four freshman that can defend well enough to be trusted. They all cn score quickly and at any point in the game. Morillo is trying to get over the hump and looks to be an effective scorer and is progressing defensively. Not sure he can join this track team but anyone who can add at both ends is welcome. Davis is the odd man out at the moment, but he is no slouch from an offensive viewpoint. Landon will likely need a year to develop and gain confidence. As for JJ, he has really shown some chops and confidence and I am glad we have him. Finally Vaaks is a diamond that is getting polished. I have stated before that playing defense is mostly want to, and his performance shows he want to. Watch him grow...he is a blessing to have on this TEAM.

Adding in Mirk and Jake, 12 guys have looked like they could be rotation players on a good team.

Quentin Coleman is the stud and often compared to Keaton Wagler. But, just 2 short games in to the season I have to think Ethan Brown may be the better comparison. So quietly efficent it's crazy, please other teams keep sleeping on him.

Impressive: Tempo and unselfish play while not relying on 3’s.
Need to improve: 70% at the foul line and 19 (!) turnovers.
Orange Krush also felt low energy compared to Izzone at MSU game (No offense meant). Hopefully gets rockin’ with tougher opponents.

I thought the first five minutes we had poor effort defensively, but we adjusted and did a much better job. It is a nice luxury to be able to pull guys and not see much of a drop off, if any. I really hope these freshmen stay together. They can be special.
