They didn't play anybody in the non-con, their best wins were Arkansas and Kansas, and when they did play the elite teams in the Big 12 their numbers were pedestrian.

But we were also so good last night. That defensive gameplan was simply flawless. Still in awe.

I underestimated how great of a match up this was for us

Great game plan too but we played a C+/B- game and won comfortably. And this is one where Brad can grab all his donuts for leaning towards offense over defense (even though our defense was great).

Kind of insane that a team would intentionally build their offense around the midrange game.

On a different night they make a higher % and maybe it’s a different story, lord knows we’ve had plenty of guys kill us in the past by making every mid range shot that we give them.

But when guys like Sharp, Flemings, and Cenac would willingly take those contested midrange shots, it just felt like a gift every time.

But something like 16 of 18 shots in the paint were contested. We dorked Cenac and face guarded everything else

Other than giving up a few threes down the stretch, their offensive struggles were entirely our defense

Frankly, that Houston was what they were this year is probably a testament to how good a coach Sampson is. But his approach is also probably quintessential high-floor/low-ceiling kind of basketball.

This is two games in a row where we made some opponent-specific defensive adjustments that have been extremely effective. I honestly don't think Houston was expecting it. It looked like we caught them totally off guard and they had no idea how to adjust.

Walked into the arena at halftime with them only up four on TCU and the first six minutes of the second half had them on upset watch, which would have been a delight to witness. TCU, who had already looked pretty lackluster in their win over Ohio State, was entirely spent at that point. Duke really just leaned on the Boozers's talent taking over and Dame Sarr got hot too but that did not look like one of the best teams in the country.

ACC being complete crap in the tournament knocks a bit of shine off them too.

And AZ doesn't take many 3s so having Cluff and TKR together is less of an exploitable weakness.

OTOH I will again point out that Smith has completely lost his 3 point shot which is not good for their chances.

Can’t shoot, struggling to finish on penetration. Last night there were periods where we’d break their doubles and he’d get the ball and rather than take the 2 on 3 he’d like back it out?

I know there’s the “We don’t need him for offense, it’s his D that matters!”

I think his D is really overrated. He’s good, but he’s not great.

If he’s not going to shoot well or penetrate well, his decision making needs to improve because it hurt us last night on both ends.

but I have no real complaints about how any of our 8 rotation players performed yesterday. And Boswell was certainly a key component in why our defense was so effective, which was the most important part of the whole game.

I think our run happening while he was on the bench was much more of a coincidence than anything that you could attribute to his absence.

If you're just making up roles and tasks on the fly, it can go really bad. Our guys seemed confused as to who was supposed to do what, and by the end we left a guy open for a 3.

The next were to burn clock so Houston wouldn't have time to run a play but they fouled too quick, especially with the anticipation whistle against Andrej.

Thing is, that was the foul that bothered me the least. Dre was beat off the dribble so that's the circumstances where you should be fouling at the end of a half, not grabbing a guy the instant he catches the ball.

The Drej foul wasn't even intentional. Just a bad call, anticipation from refs*

Video below if not familiar.

We all lamented having Purdue steal our 2 seed, but in the end it worked out better for us. We got what turned out to be a fairly weak 2 seed and now have a 9 seed between us and the Final Four. Meanwhile Purdue has to beat what is now widely accepted to be the best team in the field in order to get there.

Of course the lesson from the fable would also warn that this can flip on us again, where having Iowa in our path seems like a great thing but it would hurt even more to lose to them. But we won’t worry about them.

This concludes my first Penske File task of the day.

At some point Sampson needed to instruct the team to seek out a foul on a drive, at least just to feel out whether the refs would call it tight at the rim. They only shot two free throws but they simply did not give the refs opportunities to call them. I think their only two were on a light bump at the top of the key that put them into the bonus.

Two opponents in a row getting absolutely squat from the line. VCU was shellshocked by our size and quickly discouraged themselves from venturing down low but Houston over and over kept contenting themselves with jumpshots and were not converting them at a pace to keep that style going. Only three blocks last night and two were by Wagler.

We’re going to shit pump Iowa…. right? I couldn’t live getting bounced by them*

Indiana and Michigan tied for first (Illinois was last), and needed a playoff to determine the sole Big Ten team in the tournament. Champaign was chosen as the neutral site, and Michigan won. Michigan lost in the second round to Marquette, who lost to David Thompson and NC State in the final.

That was the final year where conferences were limited to one team.

I think if we had filled out that recruiting class with actual talent a) Gordon might not have flipped; and b) even if he did, it wouldn't have hurt as much.

And at the end of the day that IU team lost in the first round, Gordon went pro, and Sampson got fired so it didn't matter. And we had much bigger problems that took 15 years to get over.

The combined 3PT% for Kylan, Tomi, and Ben decides the outcome of this game. We need those guys to each hit a couple shots and at a decent clip.

If we lose, we’ll probably look up and be saying something like “damn, if they could have just gone 5/14 instead of 3/14 we probably win the game.”

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

This roster isn’t really built to be able to match the toughness and tenacity of a team like Houston. It’s built on pure size and skill/shooting.

So I just don’t want the season to end because we couldn’t do the thing that is supposed to be our strength. Just give me 30% shooting from three, not another game where we look up at half and we’re at like 18%.

Keep the turnovers down (maybe ~8 or fewer?) and limit their second chance points. Those are the obvious keys everyone has been talking about, but I think they’re real.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

I think i'm with you here. great 3pt shooting could lead to an IL blowout. but bad shooting,

something like 7/31, we can still overcome if rebound and don't turn it over.

i don't think the opposite is true - if we get dominated on the boards and/or turn it over a ton, we probably can't shoot our way out of it

Agreed*

Yep, second chance points is the big one for me. We can’t get murdered there.*

And maybe FTA differential

Houston doesn't fare well when their opponents shoot more FTs than they do.

This is what I'm most interested to see

They don't get to the line and we don't foul, but if we get a crew that feels a need to even out the fouls, or if they're allowed to hack at will with no calls, it will make things challenging for us.

And they do foul a lot

And even more that aren't called. But we don't usually draw many since we shoot so many 3s. If our guards do try and drive the ball, can they get some calls?

Dumas question: is this just Houston, or a generalization over most of hoops? *

Used to be a stat about how Bobby's teams would make more FT's than their opponents attempted.

Tidbits from Brad's (and players') Wednesday press conference (long).

Posted by JFG <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=JFG' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 26, 2026, 10:10:26, in reply to "Illini Basketball vs. Houston Pre-Game and Game Thread (Thursday, 9:05pm on TBS)"

Opening Brad Statement: Happy to be here. Honor to be here. One of 16 that are still playing. Opportunity to win the NC. Houston is great. Played in championship game last year. "One of the legends in the game Kelvin Sampson is their coach" (Barf). He gets his teams to play hard. We have to play well...can't flinch. We're up for the challenge and opportunity...should be a hard fought game.

On Houston "muck up style"...how did Florida scrimmage help you guys: They're different...Houston isn't as big as Florida was, Houston is more guard dominated. Guards take 60% of their FG attempts. Rebounding similar...Florida was good. You have to meet that physicality and tenacity. Houston does good at backtaps. But we're a good rebounding team as well. We have to make them hit us as well...we learned that in the florida scrimmage.

On Brad's thoughts on Flemmings: Very similar to our approach with Keaton...turned the reigns over. Rightfully so...Flemmings is a tremendous athlete and big shot maker, just like Keaton. They're both mature beyond their years in terms of poise. Success for both of them are paralleled in terms of growth and impact on their teams.

On any issues with "fairness" of playing Houston in Houston: Brad could care less. Brad was a juco coach back in the day. Drove on 16 passenger vans. Dodge city kansas to mesa AZ for a basketball tournament. If you told Juco Brad he'd have the chance to play Houston in the Sweet 16, he'd crawl to get there. If we want to beat them, we have to play great no matter the venue. Same for them. We've won on the road...successful in the BT. Brad doesn't pay too much attention to venue...just greatful for the opportunity.

Roughy on no fouling Illini and Houston bad numbers getting to the line: They're gonna shoot a lot of 3's...we're going to have to do what we do and guard the basketball without fouling. We practice not fouling. If they don't go (Houston), they don't go.

On when Brad knew Keaton was good: This question has been asked a billion times, so I'll just add new stuff. Keaton came in at 178, now he's 192. We knew he was good, but didn't know when. Now we know. Been a joy to have on the team. Great teammate, wonderful human being.

On Houston's Sharp and his defense turning turnovers into transition...how do we balance that: We've done a pretty good job not turning the ball over. They bring 2 to the ball in every ball screen and post up, and you have to make great decisions. Play advantage/disadvantage basketball. Make good decisions. Houston capitalizes on turnovers and hunt threes in transition with guys that can make them (Sharp, Uzan). We need to protect the ball.

On the dynamic of the twins on the court...what's that like: It's been "cooking with gas"...two 7 footers that can shoot it. Highly intelligent players that can set screens. Haven't played them together as much as we've liked due to injury stuff. Z is scary athletic, block shots, Tomi is more physical. Offensively they both shoot it and make good decisions.

On rebounding...how can you capitalize against Houston: no one specific thing. 40 minute game. Mental focus to block guys out. Their bigs are elite at wedging and being physical. We do the same. Match them for 40 minutes. Point of pride...we'll see who does it better.

Players questions (Kylan, Jake, Big Z)

For Jake...when you transferred from Mercer, what is this moment like for you: Great. This was a goal after transferring...being able to compete at the highest level. Goal is to go further.

On Houston on film and their rebounding/tipping...what do you see: (Kylan)...Coach Sampson and Underwood have the same philosophy...crash the glass, rebounding...just gonna be about boxing out...we'll be fine, we've done it all year. Will just be another day.

On fairness of playing Houston in Houston: (Big Z) Not worried about the crowd...we play Houston, we don't play the fans. (Kylan) We know there will be red and white in the crowd, but our fans travel really well too...we'll see what it looks like, but we can't let it phase us. (Jake) it is what it is...they're the higher seed. We've played at tough places on the road this year.

Roughy: Kylan or Jake on Z's big dunk, has his head gotten too big, and what was it like to see Illini basketball spread over the internet: (Kylan)...his head didn't get too big. That's Z...he makes highlight plays like that. That play was crazy...7 footer gonna dunk it like that. Big Z being Big Z. (Jake)...he does that all the time in practice...first time in a game. It should be blowing up...what he did was "pretty freaky".

To Kylan...their guards, Sharp, Uzan, veteran guys...thoughts: They're some of the best guards in the nation...know how to win with NC experience last year. It will be a great matchup for us. We'll continue to watch film, figure out tendencies, be ready to play tomorrow.

And then all of them pushed their chairs in.
