Illinois 81, Iowa 61 Postgame
- Status
Finally! A sensible starting lineup.
Gotta give props to defense tonight. Iowa’s not very good but holding them 61 is something.
If Tomi stays he has national player of the year type potential

It's never a total loss for me if we beat Mizzou. Iowa and Indiana are also nice.

Nice to see Tre White play hard. KJ and Boswell with a very solid game. Tomi was outstanding. Gotta learn to rebound better until Morez is back.

If everyone can recover their form from earlier this season and we can eventually get Morez back, we can be a sneaky good team come March.

The best parts about the game thread…
No discussion on KJ’s high turnovers
No discussion on Brad’s lack of in-game adjustments
Little discussion on Ben’s poor play
Little discussion on Ben’s minutes

At least the bubble talk can end for good now. Let's go to Ann Arbor and pick up a late signature win.
Not a perfect night by any means, but amazing answer after being embarrassed. Some quick thoughts:
- Baffling it took 28 games to finally find our “Best 5”, but I’m glad we made it
- Ben looks so comfortable not being the main piece. Looked much more relaxed tonight
- Body language of DGL was disappointing
- Love KJ, but the offense is built around Tomi. As he goes, everybody else goes.
- Tre looks confident again. We need that. Great performance by him.

A healthy Tomi, some signs of life from Tre, more offense at the rim and better defense overall? I’ll take it even knowing Iowa is not very good. Take this to Ann Arbor please!
Tomi, Boz , Tre and even Ben off the bench played well. However we really need and miss Rez. Iowa beats us on the boards. We are going to need our guards to defend better so our bigs don't have to help so much and hit the glass. Great win and nice to not be yelling at the TV or stressed out for a change.
Holding Sanford to 7 is great def on him by KB.
Amazing what a few adjustments on each end (and some more health; and a crappy opponent), can do for you.
Really good win. Loved the changes to our defensive sets tonight. While it was obvious that Iowa didn't have it tonight, we played an excellent team game tonight and looked very well prepared.
So insiders, did other coach(es) adjust our defense and offense tonight, because changes certainly were made...
