Ben slander will no longer be tolerated. Idk how it translated on TV, but he was unbelievable tonight at every part of the game. His hustle, his defense, his physicality. It was all incredible. He might not be the most talented player on the team, but there’s no doubt he is a leader and the guys respect him.

He’ll be adored by Illini Nation if he can play like another Indiana native en route to a deep tournament run 😎

Great win!

Wagler’s the real deal and might end up being the most important piece in March.

Petro’s still finding his role on this team and that’s fine, as long as they win while he does it.

I too was yelling at some of the non-foul calls in the first half, but have to say it was a pretty consistently officiated game.
I can’t stand when they call the second half the opposite way of the first.

Not quite but it's good and not surecwhere Ty may fit in.
You are right. I just keep assuming he'll red shirt rather than burn a year of eligibility for a hand full of games. Reportedly he just started doing light jogging.

He also did a lot of things that show up including 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 3 blocks.

Seems like we got a glimpse of what the rotation will be like. 6 guys that played the majority of the minutes with Davis, Z, and Petrovic filling in. I think Z probably gets more minutes depending on fouls and game flow. Petrovic I really hope he can get his legs under him because he showed he can really get past guys off the dribble and make plays.
Petro hasn't proven anything at this point. 0-3, 1 turnover, 0 assists. IMO, he is still really banged up with hamstring. I want him healthy by 10 January. We need him final 90 days of season. Andrea looks lost most of the time. I dont get what he's doing making a fortune. This team absolutely needs a Terrance Shannon jr..
2 teams tonight not athletic. We shot better. Tennessee shooting and free throws are a terror show. Keaton great bounce back games for 18 year old.

Nobody piled on him? Are you being sarcastic?

He's been the whipping boy for the better part of 1 1/4 seasons.

Hopefully we can put all of that BS away now and value the kid....value all of the guys wearing our jerseys.
I literally just saw a HumBRICKhouse reference like two or three days ago. Roll my eyes every time. I got a little frustrated with him last year, but he's made one of the bigger turnarounds I've ever seen in one year from a defense and rebounding standpoint. It's been remarkable.
