Looking forward to seeing more of Petrovic.

I enjoyed Alabama's half court offense. Seemed much better than ours. Never been enamored with Brad in that regard though. It's mostly just give it to "x" and let him try and make a play. Fell on Andrej last night.

High level game. Thought all our guys played pretty well with the exception of big Z. He was just overmatched physically.

Looking forward to seeing more of Petrovic.

I enjoyed Alabama's half court offense. Seemed much better than ours. Never been enamored with Brad in that regard though. It's mostly just give it to "x" and let him try and make a play. Fell on Andrej last night.

Last thought, make your damn FT's!

1) He was raised in Chicago and played his HS ball in the state (not at some out of state academy). It's not like he grew up in Another State, USA.

2) Underwood recruited him pretty hard several years back, to the point that I think we almost got a commit from him only to be spurned at or near the last minute where TSJ ultimately started at Texas Tech.

So TSJ was a local player (Chicago local) who could be looked at as someone who was an Illini when he transferred here. Kinda like Kenny Battle, who played HS in Aurora and went to Northern Illinois for 2 years before transferring to CU...and we all know how much of a legend he is.

Also helps that TSJ almost single handedly led the Illini to the E8 2 years ago...the furthest we've been in almost 20 years.

That helped seal things for me in my eyes.

Probably not a huge one offensively, but he would have been able to pester their guards more and would have at least been five more fouls to give.

Feels weird to be so bullish on him when we haven’t seen him much, but felt he stood out as somebody that would have been helpful last night.

Probably not a huge one offensively, but he would have been able to pester their guards more and would have at least been five more fouls to give.

Feels weird to be so bullish on him when we haven’t seen him much, but felt he stood out as somebody that would have been helpful last night.

When philon scored at will at the end when we desperately needed stops, Kylan wasn’t playing his typical pressure on ball defense. I would love to play that back with Kylan hounding and see where it winds up.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lee back on Saturday in a limited role.

Hopefully these next two games can be about getting some of the guys some minutes and continuity coming back from injury, because UConn is gonna be a freaking load.

1. Obviously Underwood's message at half was to stop bombing threes and playing Alabama's game. Bos and Andre listened, but feel like this game exposed our lack of a true post player at the five. Hopefully will get better with Tomi healthy, but he's also not really that guy. Last year we could mix it up and throw Morez in there, but Big Z is not that guy.

2. As weird as it sounds, I think we really missed Brandon Lee last night. I know our knowledge of him is limited, but we needed another gritty guard that could be a sparkplug and defend. Hopefully he's on the mend, because we're going to need him against smaller lineups like Alabama.

3. Happy with Petrovich in his limited time. Excited to see what he can do when healthy.

4. Tomi was gassed and pretty ineffective.

5. Ben had a rough game, but appreciate his defensive contributions.

6. Welcome back to Earth, Keaton Wagler. I would assume a lot of his issue were due to him being absolutely exhausted chasing those quick guards around. I think fatigue was a thing with Mirk too.

Oh well. Wish we could have that one back, but there's a lot to learn from that game. We said we were worried about what happens when we play a team with quick and skilled guards...now we know, and we need to fix it. Onward and upward.

I think we had more rebounds overall, but there were several times where bama players were in perfect position to get long offensive rebounds. Felt like crashing the boards worked against us at times, with all five of our guys in the paint watching as the ball went over their heads out beyond the the free throw line. Usually led to another open bama 3 attempt

But almost all of their 3s were behind the NBA 3 point line and many by like 3-4 feet.

We did that a bit too, always cracks me up how teams can’t ignore that NBA 3 line.

If Stojakovic is going to be our main guy that’s going to be able to be creative and seek out the tough shot at the end of games, we are gonna be in deep trouble if that’s how he shoots FT’s in close games.

Thats a legit concern that transcends the issues we currently have working people back in from injury.

I'm switching between providers right now (I wrote transitioning first but I know that's a trigger word for you), so without a specific service at the moment I decided to just sign up for a month of streaming the Fox Sports app on its own.

When I went to select which plan I was informed my payment would give me access to Gutfeld, Ingraham, Hannity, and everyone else poisoning society right now. Just went to a bar instead.

So as long as Illinois sports is fully linked in with that political bullshit, it's fair game to call you a mouth breathing dipshit every time you slither into a sports thread.

They got almost nothing out of the Ivisic twins, endured tons of rookie moments from Mirkovic and Wagler, dealt with foul trouble on their best perimeter defender, and had to instead rely on Petro who wasn't yet up to high level D1 game speed.

All of this and it was a one possession game.

Wagler played like an actual freshman for the first time this season. And the coaching staff apparently couldn't convey the need to take advantage of them in the paint the entire game until it was too late.

Defense was exposed and they needed to be...we will face trio's of guards that can shoot and we need to have an answer.

Everybody's going to learn, and I think the coaching staff will hopefully learn the most from tonight.

I’m just annoyed because there was a chance to win it anyway, but even if their overall % wasn’t great they hit a 3 at every big moment of the game. They seemingly never missed the momentum-shifting 3’s.

Being at the game live, never in a million years would I have thought the first post I’d see about this time was a negative Mirkovic post. Not saying you’re wrong, but it wasn’t at all a what struck me about watching the game.

The Ivisic bros were the bigger issue tonight, but Alabama is quite literally the #1 worst matchup for our roster so I don’t read too much into it. We held them to a reasonable amount of points even when not healthy or cohesive, we just didn’t make enough 3’s or free throws to keep up.

i'm not attacking. i'm merely noting that in our two games against higher competition, i've personally found his play less effective.

But it's hard to argue against his first half tonight when he took over the game for stretches.

Second half was rougher, but I don't think that was his play--I think we were just trying to find the right matchups out there.

Tomi looked awful, Z still looks injured, and Petro was a disaster outside of a couple splash plays at the end of the first. Mirk vanished in the second and Wagler was a freshman.

Still think this team will be special. Biggest concern at this point is going up against athleticism. We had no answers for their speed in the backcourt.

Beat Mizzou, and split Tennessee/UConn and we’ll see what we’ve got in conference.
