Illinois 69, Old Dominion 55 POSTGAME
Glad we took care of business
Bench guys could have closed it out better.
Most important thing was we avoided the letdown and took care of business against an inferior opponent.

Brian Butch was the worst thing about that game, bench effort being second.
Yep took care of business. Finals and tough after beating Mi. Overall a good win.
I didn't get to see the last 8ish minutes, but I see we didn't score in the last 4 minutes? I'm assuming it was all bench at that time?
Pretty much.

When he had Tev ready to come in, I was hoping he would leave more of the remaining starters out there. Wanted to see what he (or BBV) looks like with the guys he's likely (hopefully) to be on the court with when it matters, not the full on mop up crew.
We're really fouling a lot less it seems.

Nice to see Alan Griffin have a good showing. He's our x-factor if he can start playing more consistently, especially against better competition.
Tevian gets some mop up minutes. He’s really going to have to earn his way back for any meaningful playing time...
? Butch commented well.. and bench effort ? Alan has 15 points, Feliz contributed quite a bit and kipper looked good tonight as well
To clarify by bench I meant deep bench during last 5 minutes, my bad on being vague... Agree with you on Feliz, Kipper, and Griffin. As far as Butch, it comes down to personal taste I guess.

Great that Tevian and subs got in the game. Griffin, nice. Kipper, nice job.
I'll say it again: Watch every moment Kofi plays at Illinois - he may not be in Champaign too long. A one-arm rebound! I'm sure it's happened before, but I haven't seen it. NBA scouts must be salivating.
Illini: score in the classroom, too! Just as important - probably more important for your futures - than success on the court.

Who created this situation? Work your way out, just like you worked your way in. Besides BU is very show me in practice type will pay off so....
Butch is like listening to a cross between Dakich and Vitale....or more politely put, fingernails on a chalkboard.

Brad could have run up the score; he didn't. Well done, Coach.

Scary moment there with Da'Monte. Glad he seemed to be ok. We really cannot afford any injuries this year.
They were out scored in the 2nd half terrible effort by the Illinois
the national
- the Front Range
He was better than Beth Mowens.
It was really the last 4 minutes with the mop up crew in.
