Ineffective in start Reid supplied seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 84-44 loss to Illinois.

Impact Reid was part of the Wildcats' first five for the first time since Jan. 11, but he didn't exactly reward Northwestern for inserting him back into the starting lineup. He shot a dismal 30 percent from the floor, needing 10 shots to hit seven points. This was a brutal game all around for the Wildcats, who will look to bounce back Sunday at Iowa. As for Reid, it's unclear what his role will be down the stretch.

Erupts for 28 off bench Reid produced 28 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 79-68 loss to Illinois.

Impact Reid was removed from the starting five for the first time this season, and he responded by dropping a season-high 28 points on excellent efficiency. He crashed the glass harder than normal as well with four boards, and this was the bounce-back outing the junior guard desperately needed. It remains to be seen if Reid will return to the starting five after this outburst, or if head coach Chris Collins will keep him on the bench after it worked so well against the Illini.
