- Coach Brad Underwood viewed the matchup as a chance to hurt OSU offensively while managing defensive exposure.
- The frontcourt duo offered a potential to flip momentum with a rare defensive threat near the rim.
- Illinois could use the twins as a dynamic option that forces opponents to prepare for multiple looks.
- The Ohio State game showed how two 7-footers could stretch the floor and protect the rim simultaneously.
- The all-access look against Ohio State produced a 33-31 stretch that Illinois widened to 48-42.
- The game illustrated a tension between offensive potential and defensive exposure in a two-big lineup.
- Illinois plans to continue exploring the Ivisic twins' usage to optimize matchups.
