With the team that we shouldn't expect to be ready to do that yet.
All they did was win the last 15 minutes of the game. But... holy effing balls. It was really more like 13:30 to 2:30. They did THAT, down 6, in all of 11 minutes.

Loved the win...great confidence builder...
But....21 TOs and 16 opponent offensive rebounds are opportunities for improvement for us. Great win nonetheless

You overplay him and he's at the rim in one dribble.
Have fun, random Northwestern doofuses!
More of a viper!
I love that it's only November and I already have my Sunday cleared for a huge day of Illini basketball.
The talent level isn't comparable. This team is loaded with talent.

INDEED, especially given all the new parts (players) Brad lost a great staff and hired an equal if not better one that was hella good coaching and halftime adjustments on display there in the 2nd half.

Just hit me, TSJ reminds me or Benedict Mathurin from AZ last year.
Why sleep
My wife said, it’s not over yet. Just one more reason I love that woman.
Curious minds inquire - anybody know what the highest spread was for UCLA in this game? I gotta think a couple minutes into the second half it woulda been close to -15

Imagine if we didn’t turn the ball over 21 times.

THAT was your takeaway? Lol
Watching the Virginia-Baylor game, Virginia had a lot of trouble when Baylor pressed. I expect us to cause them similar problems. We have to make sure though that we do not give them open looks behind the arc. They have been beyond lethal there thus far this season (shooting over 50% as a team!!!). Huge win for us tonight. Huge. But boy would it be nice to get 1 more.

We just knocked off the number 8 team in the country by 9 points even AFTER turning the ball over 21 times.
