Why does William's get so many minutes???  Dude does nothing

This is what I kept thinking. He can jump high but only straight up and not while he's moving laterally?

Zero freshman minutes, for fuk sake.

Williams played 34 minutes last night

Are we really gonna risk losing these talented freshmen so he can play 34 minutes?

Underwood loves his little DaMonte. Always has. We struggled last year until his minutes got reduced.

Needed to make adjustments on defense to stop the layup drill going on all night.
A zone would have at least mixed it up. We got abused.

How does DaMonte play 34 minutes and not pick up a foul ?
Granted, Curbelo didn't look right last night but who's going to be the 1st media guy to ask if Curbelo will start vs MSU ?

Podz was the 1st off the bench, at 6 1/2 min, out of Goode, Melendez and him. That seemed an odd choice to me. He's struggled in conference play and hasn't played much. He had a turnover, and sat back down. That was it for him until 45 seconds left in the game.
Goode got 5 minutes, but did get 3 rebounds.

Not that I remember, but was it reducing his minutes or shortening the bench that got us playing more consistently ?

Rob,  I probably missed it, but was Curbelo sick as referenced above?
He looked really off.

This is my biggest gripe. He is the most talented of the 3 freshman and should be getting more minutes. I’ve been AOTC on this from very early on and been preaching he needs more.
Because FOX News told me so…

Damonte is the career leader in games played at Illinois but I think he’ll end up being one the most forgettable players ever
