This has been said plenty of times, but the biggest surprise with this team has been on the defensive end.
I can imagine this is a really fun team to coach. Highly cerebral, works hard, and coachable.

You did see he had 4 fouls. The kid will have a rough time playing 20 mins a game because he still doesn’t have fouling under control. If he can figure it out then I agree.
On point 3 … Body Language is horrendous …
Amazing defensive intensity after the opening minutes.
The crazy thing is, we shot pretty atrociously in the first half. I feel like if anybody but Ben had made wide open 3's in the first half, we might have been up by 30-35 heading into the break.

In my book, Ben. Big first half lead was built on defense, rebounding and him. Prior to Kylan’s late bucket at end of first half, Ben was only one of two starters who had scored. Others kept it going in second half, but Ben was the first half.
So who is the MVP of the game?
He looks a lot thinner; I wonder how much weight he has lost. Be tough with DGL and KB probably coming back next year?
Carey Booth is soooooo checked out 
sorry bud
sorry budI’m good playing him as much as possible … Fouling will clean itself up … It always does as the Big Ten season goes on …

3 pointers:
IL: 10-31
PSU: 2-12
Offensive Rebounds;
IL: 17
PSU: 5
If you dominate the 3pt line and offensive glass, you will rarely ever lose. Great defense, great offense. This was a very high level performance and without our best player top 5 pick.
I think this team is better than 2021 and 2024. I would put them in the top 5.
