Illinois 90, Southern 55 Postgame
- Status
KW is about to get a huge payday as a lottery pick in the NBA.
Sorry, there was a post earlier saying we won this game by 45.
35+43 =78 points
But we beat Missouri 608 to 12. They mentioned it of the halftime show so it has to true.
That did put a smile on my face as I live near St Louis
Wonder what the IL record is (at least in modern era).
Wonder how Petro is handling it. He got a few minutes, but didn't look too good (or bad for that matter). He's far down the rotation the way the rest of the guards are playing.
So far KW and KB are each averaging about 31.5 mpg. That's not that crazy. KJ averaged a little more than that last year and KB was at 31 even. In 2021-22 Trent averaged almost 35 a game. Ayo averaged 31.5 his freshman year, then 33.5, then 35.1.
Agree. And Jake is showing he can contribute in a number of ways. My point before was just that we have two players that can play PG at a high level. That's a pretty good situation to be in. It would be great if Petro could be a reliable third PG but that would be an extreme luxury. It's getting really greedy to call that a "gap" in our guard situation.

He isn't making a great case for more minutes, especially in light of Lee's defense. I'd love for Petro to pan out but if he is a miss this year, we have options. He's getting paid regardless, which I'm sure is why he is still here.
I was waiting for it! Lol

I mean if we are throwing out wacky takes I have to get in on the party.
Assist to TO isn't an official stat in record books, but by far the two best I can personally find both happened (ironically) in the same season.
Bruce Douglas in 85-86: 3.62
Tony Wysinger in 85-86: 3.53

Not just about minutes, especially in Big Ten play.
Also, it isn’t about what is possible versus not. We want to go deep in the tournament with this squad. We aren’t getting them back so having that piece to spell the key personnel while preparing to step up next year is the point.
Just a bit disappointed in how Petro seized his opportunity.
A lot of us have learned to ignore those people. It would do you good to join us. I know it's tough, but... let it go.
I didn’t say or imply that they weren’t locked in for the most part… See the first line of my post.
Complaining about/blaming odd game times and underwhelming crowds is weak sauce. Sorry.

The best sequence of the game IMO:
Mirk screws up.
At the timeout that followed BU stares him down all the way to the bench; yells a few choice words at him and then turns to talk to someone else.
Mirk, with a bewildered look turns to KB. "What did I do?" (lip reading)
KB explains it to him, and then answers a question about his explanation.
Mirk turns to BU and seems to say "but what about ...."
BU "Doesn't matter." (lip reading)
Mirk but ...
BU "Doesn't matter." (lip reading)
Mirk Nods his head, says "okay" and moves on. Perfectly calm.
I've been all over Mirk for bonehead plays and careless dribbling. This sequence gives me some hope. He appears coachable. It also demonstrates that KB both understands what is going and the standing in the team to be the goto person for help.

Not much to take away from this people. We handled our business and gave good effort, that’s what matters.
Offense definitely wasn’t perfect, but I’m not sure we can expect it to be at this point with our current staff/scheme. Our best nights will come from good defense and low turnovers, as long as we aren’t ice cold from deep.
The road to 15-4 before Purdue marches on.

I get a kick out of it normally
I'll play along. I missed the game entirely. But, I am sure there are things that many think "should" piss me off. Thanks for sharing
My 2 cents: Jake Davis didn't get a single rebound.
Going 5-6 from 3 gives you all of the leverage in the world. If only Ben could channel that with his overall effort...I'll play along. I missed the game entirely. But, I am sure there are things that many think "should" piss me off. Thanks for sharing

What does this mean? We racked up 1.452 points per possession. That is elite. We have the #2 offense in the country. So what exactly is wrong with the staff/scheme on offense?
