Not a game for the highlight reel.

The Good:

The way they hung in there and did just enough to prevail.

Harmon’s drive to the lane at the 30-second mark.

Shannon hits needed free-throws at the end.

That Hoosiers can’t buy a Three.

Crowd gets free food.

The Not-So-Good:

Ragged game throughout. Two teams NOT playing as well-oiled machines on this day.

Illini looked uneasy... rushed... never could find a good rhythm.

Shannon still out-of-sorts.

Hawkins lack of body bulk showing up in how he was taken several times one-on-one by a player working on him down low. He needs to fix this when he gets to the next level.

Interior D in general a problem again.

And the best news? It was a Win.

And one more day closer to Spring.

When we need a stop, I want Ty on that floor. He wasn't on there in the final minutes against Northwestern. It took the very end to finally get him on there today. We have the lead. We need stops. Get Ty on the freaking floor and let him do his thing.

At some point the shots at the rim gotta start going in or this team will struggle. Frustrating watching missed 3 footers.

I’ll preface this by saying we didn’t play very good at all. No cutting, lots of settling,missed free throws, playing too slow, etc, but the rotation today was a HUGE mess.



I get trying to give guys opportunity to try and provide a spark but the way guys were used was baffling. I don’t understand how Ty sits for 10 mins in the first half, dominates and then sits the last 14 mins of the game. Ty is one of our best five players. I understand Harmon was +23 , but he was 2 for 7 from the floor. Some of his mins can be distributed. Also, understand Goode is one of our only shot makers, but him and Domask on the floor is not very good defensively (see Northwestern).



I also don’t understand the playing the same guys the last 10 mins of the game. Also wish we would try a lineup of Ty, Harmon, Domask, Shannon, Coleman. Frustrating to see the last few games after the way we were playing in December.

I think Goode should have played ever minute he did today. I think you are wrong on him. I don’t think Harmon or Shannon was very good today. Rodger’s should have definitely played more.

We came out on top against a team going nowhere this year and missing their best player, so not a lot to be encouraged about but I'll take it. It was, however, ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road.
