#illini coach Bret Bielema stopped in to see JUCO OL Maika Matelau (@MaikaMatelau) earlier this week. Up next? Likely a visit to Champaign for the JUCO prospect.
LIVE POSTGAME POD: @ktausk13 and I will react to #illini basketball's dominant 113-55 win over Jackson State in the season opener, what we can take from it and what's next
Just dominance as Illini assert their size and skill over JSU. Tomislav Ivisic (15 points, 3 rebounds) and David Mirkovic (13 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists) were fantastic.
Illini shot 10-for-19 from three and won the rebound battle 31-8.
#illini frontcourt of Tomislav Ivisic, Ben Humrichouis and David Mirkovic have scored a combined 23 points and are a combined 6-for-7 from three. JSU has no answer for that size ad skill.
Five takeaways from #Illini's 35-13 win over Rutgers
🔸 Significance of 'expected' bowl bid 🔸 How defense 'flipped the script' 🔸 Behind Hudson Clement's long-brewing breakout 🔸 Leaning into Altmyer's legs as a weapon 🔸 Barry in his bag
