Andy Katz on BTN post-game..............

"NCAA Selection Committee -- please don't seed Illinois based upon their numbers. They are not a #5 seed. Seed them, instead, based upon who they are today --- a #1 or #2 seed. They've played innumerable games without one or both of their preseason All-Americans."

I wasn't able to watch the game sadly.

Can anyone tell me if Podz got any game time in?

He doesn't need to slow down how he talks!!!! that's who he is brother, that's who he is as a person and that's wonderful. That's like telling me not to have a deep voice, use the words like freaking or Marine Corps terms because certain people don't like it!!!!!! that's who you are and he sounds wonderful I can't believe you said that. I think you can make millions off of it!

Actually, he speaks with a pretty typical Jamaican cadence, even though he's lost a lot of the accent.

Unfortunately not. Would have liked to see him in the game even for the last two minutes, particularly against Wisconsin and his dad supposedly driving down today. Of course you can’t play someone just for reasons like these, but it seems like it should have been possible the last couple minutes.

CH just looked so lost in his minutes tonight. It's so strange how much he has shrunk in on himself as the season has gone on. It seems like instead of learning from his mistakes he is scared to make more and is playing slow leading to even more mistakes. He got burned by Wahl on not very convincing fake handoff, gave up and offensive rebound, and then did nothing on the other end of the court. I love his potential but I'm not seeing him make effort plays and he doesn't seem dialed in to the game plan which is a recipe for sitting on the bench.

Love how Trent defended Davison so closely and forced him into frustration fouls. He got in that dude's pelt, put a choker leash on him, and made him his own personal sock puppet. Meanwhile, Damonte was working Davis like a job. Great D front our most seasoned leaders.

I'm not sure we are at that level. I think maybe at full strength you could argue we are good enough to be a 2 seed. Based on early stumbles I feel like our more likely ceiling is about a 3 seed. Who knows, though. If we win the B1G regular season and tournament, that would be an awful lot of ranked/Q1 wins leading into March...

That's unfortunate. I had a similar thing happen to me in high school. I wasn't good enough to start but was solid bench player. Against a really tough opponent, my dad came out but I didn't get in at all. Bummer.

1) Kofi was just dominant. Context to performance, NPOY tape tonight
2) Belo is back and ooooh baby, that should scare the nation
3) Hummel called it, Jake vs Wahl felt like a wash, which is a win for us. Really enjoy Wahls game minus the hook and hold !!!! he's picked up from Davison. Fun matchup
4) only DMFW is strong enough to almost knock himself out - I've never seen anything like that
5) Plummer with a quiet game and we still blow out #11...😳
6) quality minutes by RJ and Goode. RJ Is smooth and Goode is gritty. Really liked seeing them in tonight
7) we roll deep
