A Dec. 13 loss to Nebraska may have been a positive for the #illini. A wake-up call. A turning point.

Riding a 10-game win streak into Lincoln, the Illini are showing the championship-caliber "standard" needed for a shot at the B1G crown. My column ⤵️

Nebraska on the road Sunday is going to be a fun one. Curious how we attack defensively, especially without Boswell. Chasing Sandfort through screens is a tough ask for Stojakovic, but switching everything got us crushed in the first outing.

#illini Brad Underwood: We withstood a very good Washington team tonight and a very challenging start to the game. It was a really solid job defensively in the first half. A night where the ball doesn't go in early. Just keep throwing body blows.

#illini Brad Underwood: Ben Humrichous was absolutely huge. i think we got two of the best role players in college basketball in Jake and Ben. Jake didn't have his electric shooting performance, but guess what? Ben did.

#illini Brad Underwood: Washington face-guarded Keaton Wagler. Great. He drew 10 fouls, and there were 3-4 that weren't called. Great win. Really happy with it coming off an emotional Purdue game. Find a way to beat a good basketball team that's playing really well.

#illini Brad Underwood: Ben Humrichous doesn't make scouting report errors. Had him on Zoom Diallo tonight.

He probably would give up 20 to Izzo's mom. Tom, don't get pissed and call me that. I hear she's a phenomenal player.

Now, Ben guards everybody.

#illini Brad Underwood: Keaton Wagler's performance was emotional for the team and want them to celebrate. It didn't faze Wagler, but if we had a guitar after the game, Tomi would've broken it. Key is to stay level emotionally. Have to be on point every night in B1G race.
