[494] Banner Monday (on Tuesday): Mailbag, B1G Roundup, Illinois Preview

Published: March 5, 2019, 10:14 p.m.

b'On this week\'s edition of Banner Monday, we answer your questions, go around the Big Ten with Mike DeCourcy, and provide an in-depth preview of Indiana\'s upcoming matchup with Illinois.

\\u2022 [3:20] Jerod delivers his Banner Moment about Robert Phinisee\'s defense and then dives into the mailbag to answer a bunch of questions about Phinisee\'s defense, Tom Izzo\'s press conference, the importance of these next two games, and more.

\\u2022 [29:40] Mike DeCourcy stops by to discuss his thoughts on IU\'s two recent victories, his thoughts on the Cassius-Phinisee battle, why the Hoosiers\' still have a strong NCAA Tournament resume, and what teams and players caught his eye this week.

\\u2022 [1:04:00] Jerod is joined by Josh Wilson to deliver an in-depth preview of Indiana\'s upcoming opponent, Illinois. We break down some important numbers, and then tell you why the numbers don\'t matter a ton because one thing matters more than any other in dictating whether this will be a win or a loss for Indiana.
