"They want to have something to cheer for, and I think we got to continue to give 'em something to cheer for. When we don't have success, I understand their frustration."

#illini Brad Underwood: The one thing I'm not going to stand for is not playing hard enough. I was disappointed in Mirk tonight. He played like he practiced yesterday, which was not very good. The opposite of his 20/20 game.
November 25, 2025 at 3:28 AM
#illini Brad Underwood said Ben Humrichous "is becoming an elite perimeter defender." Rebounding at a really high level.

"On a night that wasn't Mirk's best night, [Humrichous] was outstanding on that [defensive] end."
November 25, 2025 at 3:23 AM
#illini Brad Underwood: on Mihailo Petrovic role: "I don't know, if you want me to be honest. ...I'm still searching. I don't have a really good feel for the rotation."

He impacted the game at a really high level with his ability to get to the paint.

"It's nice to have him."

#illini Brad Underwood: The thing I'm most disappointed in was scouting report mistakes.
November 25, 2025 at 3:21 AM
#illini Brad Underwood: Tonight, we escaped. Didn't shoot the ball very well and still scored close to 90. I thought we were just OK. Defensively, some of these smaller teams give us challenges.
November 25, 2025 at 3:20 AM
#illini Brad Underwood: Hats off to UTRGV. He's got them playing really hard. I thought they played harder than we did tonight with a little more focus.

#illini Andrej Stojakovic on Mihailo Petrovic: Speed, craftiness, IQ in the pick and roll. He allows us to switch things up offensively.
