Need to figure out why/how that happens so much around here.

Solid win. Once these guys put a complete game together they will be dangerous!
Andrej is one dimensional on offense right now. Great at driving and slashing to the basket but he doesn't have that great of a jump shot yet. Correct me if I am wrong but he's shooting like in the 20s from beyond the arch in conference play. I still think his ceiling can be high just need to improve on those areas.

Shooters have to shoot their way out of slumps. Best to do that in blowouts. Get up early vs Maryland and get Ben back on track.
same guy that hung TSJ's honorary jersey?
He hooked… but did not hold. Gotta hold too!
Sleepers said after the NW game that AS was 12% from 3 in conference play. And career in conference 3pt shooting was somewhere in the 20s.

Same for the shot clock operator. Think there's 3 seconds left on the game clock that needs to be played out.
Extreme talent disparity.
Give me an offense to nitpick. I didn’t even see one against the zone.
Our Four man bench team wore out their starters
Had all the feels of last years USC game. I'll take credit for winning this one since I didn't attend lol. Betty Crocker was playing the Desmond Claude role.
One thing I'll give Brad credit for, he left Ben on the bench the entire second half.

He was 1-2 from 3 today…
Excuses for what? He was right and they won by double digits. What's the problem?
0 points combined for Jake & Ben in 29 minutes. Not ideal..
No issues with people asking for more effort, but to act like its only Illinois or that 18-22 kids won't have any lull whatsoever in effort is what floors me.
UConn nearly lost to a Georgetown team just now that is considerably worse than Minnesota, because they were outrebounded and outhustled.
That is just one example. You can find many more on any given day across CBB.

Just another day in the Big Ten and the boys got it done. Go Illini!
Sometimes we will struggle. That is how it goes in college basketball. Fans think if you don't paste a "bad" team by 30+ then it was a terrible game. The difference this year is the team seems to have enough juice to overcome a poor performance. Last year this would have been a loss. Take the win and use it to motivate. On to the next.
