Thanks, keep us posted on an occasional score.
They can really score in a hurry
KN will have his hands full on Friwith Smith. State Farm needs to go crazy Friday. Watch the film what Auburn did to Pu. Gosh we scored 62 against Mi. You hit shots and rebound you win.

Purdue: I don't think they'll hit 11/17 from three IN A HALF again this season!
Boilers are just ungodly from 3 tonight. Here's to hoping it's out of their system.
Morez got his cast off yesterday and was making a fist and moving his wrist without pain so he is ready to get back to work now.
The more we play without him, the more it's apparent we need him. Morez has never really played like a freshman--he's very strong and a tenacious rebounder.

I wish Rutgers would have given PU a tougher time. PU was shooting fish in a barrel. We play defense we win. They do a lot of screen and roll offense. Have to stay with your man.

If the staff can make the adjustment, Ivisic and Morez would be great with high-low action as well. There's absolutely a way to incorporate Morez into the offense to maximize his strengths and still spread the floor for 3s.
A little bit of a primer for those wanting to learn more about the high-low from a 3 out, 2 in (or maybe a 4 out 1 in is how Illinois would run it from a pick and pop) offensive set.

This article presents a few hi-lo post basketball plays that you can run with the 3-out 2-in motion offense set - from Coach's Clipboard Basketball Coaching.
That is why you have to bring the defense with you every game. The offense comes and goes.
I like your post, and it made me remember Lou Henson. He used the double stack offense a lot, which included plenty of high-low action. Peace, brother.If the staff can make the adjustment, Ivisic and Morez would be great with high-low action as well.

That can also work to our benefit, because I can see them coming in here overly confident….

That 2-pt MSU loss in EL we could have won easily despite shooting 21% (and without KJ for 30+ mins) because, as we did Saturday, we crashed the boards heavily, though they did, too.Quicker to look up losses 3 pg %. We have only lost twice when we shot over 30%. Our season average is 30% so not suprisingly when we shoot poorly we lose.
Alabama neutral 33%
@ NW 27%
Tennesee 17%
USC 21%
@MSU 21%
Maryland 21%
@Nebraska 24%
@Rutgers 21%
MSU 21%
@Wisconsin 33%
Duke 8%
What is surprising is KB who shot +38%,39% in AZ past 2 years is shooting 22% for Illini
KJ in recent losses 3pg% - Duke 0-4, @ Wis 0-1 @MSU 2-9 @ Rug 0-2 @ Neb 3-10 MD -04, @MSU 0-2
We shoot very poorly from three. That's what it is and it won't change. In order to win we have to keep hitting the glass hard, open up twos, and Kylan has to penetrate consistently.

Was reminded about this by boots on the ground. Should be an, uh, interesting student section either way
Does this give Braden Smith homecourt advantage now?

Appreciate that. Bill Self used a lot of high-low at Illinois (and still does at Kansas). Brian Cook in the high-low was really good. Ivisic at the top of the high-low is an absolute weapon.
With the lack of Friday games in the past, I would imagine this is a first in our history.

I'd prefer we didn't rush him. I can't wait for him to be back on the floor, but not at the risk of a bigger re-injury. That's bad for him and us.
Can’t imagine this staff would allow him to play if there’s was a major risk of reinjury
Unofficial will always be the greatest made up holiday ever imagined, in my opinion. An excuse to get hammered on the Friday before spring break starts? The whole student body is drunk and partying? Usually coinciding with Engineering Open House so there tons of high school kids with their parents innocently wandering around campus?
Count me in.

Wondering about Senior Night for Friday night... Ben is a grad student but has his COVID year still available, I think. Do KJ and Will go through the ceremony because they probably won't be back? Could be no ceremony at all. Anyone know?
