We were down from about 9-14 until the last five minutes, I was pleased with how we played. I wish our guards would have had a tad more success in the post, even against the larger defenses, if this is going to be a key part of our offense.

Sorry if it missed it, but where is Bennett, is he hurt? 

I know they wanted to be deeper this year, but right now the bench isn't providing much support. I still don't understand the lack of playing time for KJ Lee.

the broadcast said there were two key players sitting out for WIU and they'd talk about them later and never did.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I listened to the post game and they were kinda talking about their issues and it was never mentioned that they were missing Q, so I thought that was weird.

Q was sick for Illinois and Wisconsin and Payne had a knee issue
