Efficient day in huge win Ivisic ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 78-69 win over Nebraska.

Impact Ivisic bounced back from a rough shooting outing in Illinois' win over Washington, in which he went just 3-of-11 from distance, with a very solid day in a monster win over Nebraska. Aside from the scoring, aided by two triples, he pulled down eight boards and dished out three assists. He's been developing as a passer as of late, as he has three dimes in three of his last four games. Truly big production outings are few and far between for Ivisic, but he remains a key piece for the Illini.

Impact Ivisic bounced back after being blanked in the scoring column against Penn State. The junior center shot 50 percent from the field and pulled down four boards, not needing to do all that much as Illinois easily blew past Rutgers. He'll look to stay active as a scorer at Iowa on Sunday.

Getting into rhythm Ivisic provided seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 victory over Ohio State.

Impact Ivisic has now settled into a starting role after missing three games with a knee injury earlier in the year. The 7-1 junior has now started five games in a row, posting averages of 10.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over that span. It's solid production, but he's ultimately fallen under his preseason forecasts, due largely to the surprise breakout of forward David Mirkovic (14.6 ppg, 9.5 rpg), who is picking up a massive share of touches and rebounds from the power forward position.
