Illinois 87, Ohio State 75 Postgame
First game with TSJ back where it felt like what we were seeing earlier in the year. Great to build back the confidence and connectivity. We have a chance to still be special and make noise in March.

Bench was excellent tonight.
Hawkins hopefully came down a level with his complaining.
Domask might be a decent scorer for us.
Shannon got his groove back.
Ty is an outside shot away from the league.

DD gets my game ball. Great hustle and physical presence inside. Stabilize the game after Hawkins T

Second favorite win of year after FAU. What a team effort - everyone contributed . And great to see TSJ what a 2H. Let’s get on a roll now boys

I-N-I! So happy for TSJ and the rest of the Illini, who played great TEAM basketball!
For now. I’m not sure they’re about to implode though. Think this one doesn’t remain a quad 1. Hope I’m wrong.
Place was pretty empty tonight ...
Really impressive win tonight. There were a lot of good things tonight
-TSJ being alive again
-Great minutes from Amani and Lawhorn (they should've gotten a few minutes in the 2nd half)
-Excellent minutes from Dain, especially rebounding and being alive defensively.
-Great offensive flow and execution tonight.
-Fantastic game from Ty, he was the lynchpin of the first half.
The bad:
-A little concerning that Quincy is starting to become inconsistent recently. For a while you could book him as a double-double machine and it was almost all energy and occasional open 3's. Right now his activity is sluggish, his aggressiveness is almost non-existent (turning down open 3's), he's not cutting much or driving, and has become undependable from 3 & the line. I'm not trying to pour on the guy, but it's more that I see him as being VERY valuable and we need him.
-Defense in the first half until the last few minutes was very bad.
-Coleman is supposed to be our veteran leader and he just didn't play well tonight and was very immature getting that tech (honestly he's been begging to get one lately).

4 days off before Nebraska, and then 6 days after that before going to east Lansing. Should be well rested.
He's as good as gone after the year ... They are already back channeling with candidates ...
I'll admit I knew nothing about him coming in but Domask is just such a great get.
Elite scorer.

Needed that roadkill!
Time for Fletch and Paul to do their thing ... We have a couple guys with some minor stuff that will be good to extended treatment on without worrying about a quick turn ...
They won’t have a bad lost on the resume. If Xavier is quad 1 with 500 record they probably will stay close

Ty is going to be so good by the time he leaves. Also, TSJ started to feel himself tonight and it was a gorgeous thing to watch. Happy for him more than anything. Edit: Also, Quincy seemed to make a major shift and became more aggressive again. Amani and DGL both gave great minutes as did Dain, who made some amazing offensive plays.
