Underwood: Interesting stat sheet last night. Get more shots than them by a large margin. Get outrebounded by a large margin. Turn them over at an alarming rate. Get outrebounded by an alarming rate. #Illini
Underwood: At the end of the day, felt better about our offense than I have in a long time. #Illini
Underwood: The more I watch the tape of the game and some of the stuff (Jaren Jackson Jr.) does ... he reminds me of Kevin Garnett at the same age.
Underwood: You get a 5-3 Indiana team coming in here. For us, it's about playing with the same kind of intensity and same kind of emotion. Keeping the same type of flow and ball movement. #Illini
Underwood: It's a fight every day (for team's culture). To be specific, it's not one thing. It's a conglomeration of who we want to be and how we want to do things. Could be as simple as how we leave the practice court every day. #Illini
Underwood: I liked that team last night. Now the challenge is practice today and preparing for a team that's next on the schedule. That's the culture I'm fighting for. We should grow from (MSU) game. #Illini
Underwood: It's about time (in regard to players only meeting on Sunday). It's about ownership. This is their team. If we can't have accountability and expect accountability ... It can't be me saying, "Hey, let's have a team meeting and airing it out." #Illini
Underwood: Kipper is a really, really talented player. He has no idea how good he can become. #Illini
Underwood: Mark (Smith) was really good. Mark's been really good. The problem has been keeping Mark on the court consistently because of fouls. Last night I thought he was in a great low, he got two steals. #Illini
Underwood: We talk about driving the basketball all the time. We scored 70 percent of the time when the ball touched the paint last year (at Oklahoma State). #Illini
Indiana is very good defensively. They're going to make us work to catch the ball. #Illini
