Ok, good win now let’s go get to 11-6 on Thursday. Get Giorgi right.
I know it didn’t work out with the Bulls but Hoiberg is a good coach. Completely undermanned and still keeping it competitive. You can see the potential in what he’s building. They’re gonna be good when his roster turns over to a complete set of his guys.
Coach needs to play Tevian Jones! I'm getting sick of this keeping him on the bench crap! He's proven that he deserves a 4 star rating! You don't earn that from a couple of fluke games! You earn it by showing the top level play over a consistent period of time in high school! Unlike others whom he keeps playing that aren't even drawing attention defensively from our opponents! Play this man! He's a team player... but needs to get more playing time to find his footing and get in a groove! Play Tevian and Alan Griffin please!
completely lost on defense. Not to mention outside the offense hero ball.
Gio cant either so let the kid play. At Rutgers he actually hustled and played hard. I think he deserves some minutes. The guy you guys love so much is 12/50 shooting and Tev can’t get a run to see can he atleast contribute if Gio continues to struggle.Tevian can't defend. Have you been watching?

AG and TF aren't huge liabilities on D. I don't understand what you guys have seen out of Tev this year that makes you think he's ready right now. His hustle and playing hard? TU plays hard. Hell, I'll hustle and play hard if it gets me on the court for the Illini, doesn't mean I won't get blown by or blown an assignment though. He's lost nearly 100% of the time he's on the floor. Giorgi isn't lost, he's just lost his confidence. He gets good position on offense and just can't finish. I'm just thankful it's BU setting the rotations and not anyone here.Gio cant either so let the kid play. At Rutgers he actually hustled and played hard. I think he deserves some minutes.

Neither can Giorgi but he still is getting big minutes...I know you need someone with size to spell Kofi, but GB is costing the team 10 pts a game with missed gimmees, free throws, turnovers, and terrible defense. If you use the benchmark that you have to earn minutes (Tev) which is OK, then you have to use the same benchmark for GB, because right now you can't play him. People remember last years player...this year he is in the way.Tevian can't defend. Have you been watching?

Funny enough, this was the exact same score as our 2004-05 second round win against much lower seeded Nevada. 71-59.Had the feel of a first round tournament game. Lesser opponent, highly motivated to win, but the better team prevailed.
Grind it out....skate boys skate
That's a pretty bold statement there Cotton. You may be onto something with that strategy.I am really liking AGs hussle and scoring ability. He just finds where the ball is going and dunks, grabs a rebound, blocks a shot etc.
Now if we could just get Giorgi going, we need him going. We also need to make our FTs and 3s. Teams are going to kill us that
can guard against the drive, clog the middle, and force the 3.
Way to make this about Giorgi.... I am not using any benchmarks. I am just saying that Tevian can't defend. THe proof is in the film.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Underwood has a lot more information as to whether or not Tevian should be playing. I watched Tev’s demeanor in the locker room after the win at Penn State and he appears to have checked out. When Underwood was speaking he barely looked at him or acknowledged his comments. Who knows, Tev may have said or done something in practice to cause Coach to sit him, but it’s obvious that he has no faith in Tev.Coach needs to play Tevian Jones!

Giorgi is now playing exclusively at the 5. Tev isn't a 5. And while a small sample size, Tevian is 4 of 24 on the season -- and only shot 41% last year. But again, for the past several games Giorgi has not been stealing minutes from Tev cuz Tev ain't a 5.Gio cant either so let the kid play. At Rutgers he actually hustled and played hard. I think he deserves some minutes. The guy you guys love so much is 12/50 shooting and Tev can’t get a run to see can he atleast contribute if Gio continues to struggle.
GB has proven he can score and play well. He is still just as good on offense and likely better on defense amd rebounding. He is just in a slump and he is sharing his role with Kofi now. GB is in a bit of a funk but you can not give up on him. I do not know of any area of the game that Tev is better that GB other than maybe FTs. Tev is 4-24 from the field and 3-16 from three. GB is 11-36 from three and 76 for 181 from the field. GB is out shooting Tev on the year. Unfortunately Tev may have had more time to learn and get better in games that didnt mean so much if he had not gotten himself suspended twice and that is no ones fault but his own! He let himself and the team down a second time.Neither can Giorgi but he still is getting big minutes...I know you need someone with size to spell Kofi, but GB is costing the team 10 pts a game with missed gimmees, free throws, turnovers, and terrible defense.

19 to 6 on the offensive boards isn't a positive? Yikes...Ugly win... positives: ayo, feliz, and griffin. Negatives: GB still struggling big time. Kofi needs to work on hands. Trents turnovers were bad.. our offense sucks.
Wood said afterwards that we may have set an NCAA record for missed bunnies!GB and AG missedand others missed so many close shots especially in the first half. We should have been up 10 plus easy
