Only negative from todays game was turnovers imo...
Southern is ranked with 2 of their players Top 10 in steals in conference. +2.8 in steals per game as a team vs -2.7 for ILLINI, Underwood stated post game that they are very good defensively, they were far more aggressive on defense early for sure. 2nd half the ILLINI tightened up.
Good Win, covered spread, and some 2nd teamers/role players got some valuable minutes in. I am sure Petrovic is starting to learn that defensively the players he keeps losing the ball too are not Euro bench type players.
