We’ve got some guys who have really stepped up and we have some guys that need to get their head right. It’s nice having Tomi back to spread the floor and have his passing ability.

This is a great point. OSU is a very good team, and this should stay as a Q1 win. Illinois finding themselves for sure.
Who would have thought the the offense would look when they started attacking the basket instead of being so one dimensional and just chucking up 3's. Gameplan should be to attack the basket and let penetration and ball movement create good opportunities from 3 that are in rhythm.
Also, Kasparis is going to play himself out of the lottery if this keeps up(he's been compiling stats but feel like Indiana was his last really good game). I feel like he has fallen too in love with the step backs and just needs to let the 3's come to him when he's in rhythm and save the difficult ones for when you really need it late in the shot clock.
Tre White has also been nearly invisible since the Penn State game. Feel like he would also benefit from attacking the basket. Sidenote: need Davis to put up a 20 pt game to get to 9 guys.

HUGE win. Absolutely HUGE. You see what happens when you get the ball inside and don't chuck threes every other possession?
Note to self: never play Hungry, Hungry Hippos with Morez Johnson.

We were so much better at stopping the pick and roll the last 6 minutes or so. Forced someone other than Thornton to beat us and they couldn’t

THE GOOD
The thing I always liked about Morez during summer play, he was a beast on rebounds in a run and gun get my shots game. Not afraid to do the dirty work no one else did.
This is the Will Riley we need.
DGL is the heart of this team.
Having Tomi back was huge.
THE BAD
Free throws and 3-pointers not falling.
Need the earlier Kasparas back. (Is earlier injury still bothering him?)

Nope! A very boring (seriously) 29.
Tomi's double double/ shot blocking-altering might have been the most impressive of all considering the health issues, lack of practice, etc.Who had Will with 24?
DGL. Morez. Will. Program dudes.
Ohio State is my Iowa.
Good to see us right the ship…
DGL, Morez, and Will…awesome! Great to see them shine and be rewarded with PT.
I hope this has a positive effect as a reality check and as a morale builder for some that might of got complacent/overly cocky.
It was great to see the staff make some, successful in-game adjustments. (I’m so happy…I won’t even complain about the press breaker…at the end…ahhhhem…too much)

It's been more than an off day for KJ. It's been an off four games. He's going to have his feelings hurt for a while because I'm a couple of games, his miscues have cost us.
He's unplayable late.
That's discussion for another time. Let's enjoy this MUCH NEEDED win.
1-5 from 3 in the 2nd half and DGL energy was the difference

Might prove to be a big win. Showed they can be highly effective getting to the rim. KB finally righted the ship…anyone can get going on this team!
It's good to have Tomas back. Although he had some nice, open looks in the first half, Tomas struggled.
However, he had two huge close-to-the-basket FGs that kept his team in the game.
When he's off, get down to the damn rim and score!
Keep shooting the open shots, though. They will fall.

Yes 100%!! Not only was that our best offensive lineup today, it’s probably our best defensive lineup too moving forward.
