Rodney Bullock

For the second straight game, Rodney Bullock found himself in double-figures, netting 13 points on 6 of 12 shooting from the field and pulling down six rebounds.

Bullock struggled to find rhythem most of the game due to foul trouble but through two games he has shown that he will be a factor.

Kris Dunn

Kris Dunn struggled for the majority of the game. Illinois focused in on taking him away, doubling him at times, and forcing other players to make shots.

However, Dunn was critical down the stretch on the defensive end, especially when PC swtiched from a zone defense to man-to-man.

Dunn had a critical blocked shot with four minutes left in the game and helped limit Illionis to only two points in the final six minutes.

Dunn's final stat line was ten points, eight rebounds, three assists, three turnovers and two steals.

Ben Bentil

Bentil had 18 points and 12 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive side of the ball. Bentil also had three assists, two blocks and three steals in 38 minutes of play.
