"Illinois sophomore guard Joseph Bertrand continued to be the surprise of the team’s Italy trip, scoring a team-high 18 points in the Illini’s 131-65 win over Castellanza on Thursday."

I don't know how closely all of you have been following the Illini's overseas tour, but from all accounts Joseph Bertrand has looked very good. From what I've read, he's lead the team in scoring two out of four games now. It goes without saying, but we could really use another scoring option off the bench to decrease the scoring pressure on Paul and Richardson. Also, nice to see the freshmen(Henry, Djimde, and Egwu) have a nice game. If anybody has any more on how the Illini are doing, I'd love to hear about it.
