Best shooting and offensive movement we have had since the Marquette game. I cant really tell if we are playing poor defense or Illini just matching us on the other end. We do need to cover a couple of their shooters though

Our defense was intermittently okay. Illinois is helping by taking more bad shots than Romeo took in the non-con...

Our offense is benefiting from playing Illinois. Their defenses are all gimmicky and Phin is not fooled. He is trashing them, and some of our threes are falling.

Phinisee is finally where he should’ve been in January. His concussion really set him back about two months.
 
It pretty obvious that the injuries played a bigger part than anyone wanted to recognize.

You guys realize Illinois is the opponent?
Thats the 11-18 Illinois team...

Illinois is better than their record, when they get it going they are tough to beat. Plus, if you take a look, their conference record is better. I would be a lot more comfortable if the game was being played in Bloomington instead of Champaign.

UI pressure not phasing RP. We are eating their pressure alive. UI hit some deep shots, and we can live with that. Many of those challenged.
