I asked Brad Underwood about #Illini big man Jason Jakstys playing a larger role with Mirković & Zvonimir out:
"He's one of our top rebounders ...An elite defender, which will help us ...His plus minus is off the chart ...I've probably underutilized him ...Now it's his time."

Great, I hate it
Asked #Illini Brad Underwood if anything changed with David Mirkovic that led to him being back in a walking boot.
"Nothing. It's a safety. It's precautionary… It's just healing, and it's what the human body does, and there's no control over that. Nothing has changed at all.”

#Illini Brad Underwood on what Quentin Coleman has brought on offense:
"He's been very unselfish... I want to see him continue to make others great."
"Teams are going to have to adjust to him."

The #Bears have two perfect fits at LB in Devin Bush and D'Marco Jackson.
Both are super athletic moving in space. Dennis Allen can flash the double A-gap blitz then drop them into coverage, because they can both gain depth fast enough.
Huge for disguising pass-rushing looks.

Pro Illini bets for tonight
Kasparas Jakucionis over 13.5 PRA (-125)
Ayo Dosunmu over 3.5 assists (+100)
Anthony Edwards might sit tonight since it’s a second of a back-to-back. Be ready to hammer the Ayo props 👀
