John Beilein addressed the media during the post-game press conference following Michigan’s 71-58 win over Illinois at the Crisler Center on Sunday. You can watch using the embedded media player below or read notes and quotes after the jump.
Opening statement: “I was thrilled with that second half that we played today. As you can see, Illinois coming in with a win against Indiana, a win at Minnesota, a win at Northwestern and a bunch of very veteran players. You guys know every game makes me nervous but that one was going to be a tough one to get through. That second half, I think we looked a lot like how we’d been playing earlier in the year. Our defense was great, and that propelled our offense to fast-break opportunities and we got the stops we needed to win. Illinois is an NCAA team, I would assume, and it’s really good to have a team of that caliber in here and get a really good win.”

By most measures, Glenn Robinson III has had a very successful freshman season. The young forward is great at using his elite athleticism and high basketball IQ to score with extreme efficiency, mostly through cuts to the basket, put backs off of offensive rebounds and opportunities in transition.
Like all freshmen, Robinson has experienced his ups and downs – part...
