We did exactly what I thought we would. Without much of the post-thanksgiving sleepiness, low energy shenanigans I usually expect with this type of game.
Skyy is the real deal. He’s so good. Nice game to get RJ back in rhythm. I heard on the postgame show Brad had a long meeting with him which sounds like it could have been an effort/attitude thing that hopefully needs adjusting only once. I love his potential still.
Coleman I can’t decide if I should be expecting more from him or if his contributions are fine with what we have. He’s a terrific defender and facilitator but his scoring and TOS leave a lot to be desired. If we didn’t have so much extra firepower I would be hoping he’d put up 15 a night. But it is what it is right now .
Last thing: if Jayden doesn’t retire senior year as an Illini, I’ll be so disappointed. Unless of course he’s drafted
