Seven and seven off bench Ivisic chipped in seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 78-69 win over Nebraska.

Impact Ivisic had a streak of three quiet outings after an 18-point showing against Minnesota, but he got back into the swing of things in the enormous win over Nebraska with a healthy seven points on three shots and seven boards. Throw in his two blocks, and he was a big-time presence on the glass for the Illini once again. The junior is a little too inconsistent to trust for fantasy purposes at the moment, but it was good to see him play a key role in a huge Illinois win.

Eight points off bench Ivisic accumulated eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Sunday's 75-69 victory over Iowa.

Impact Ivisic was once again very efficient in a limited outing off the bench. He canned two triples en route to scoring eight points on five shots. The forward is shooting with career-best efficiency this season, hitting 58.3 percent of his shots from the floor and 38 percent of his shots from downtown. Don't expect a massive outing from the bench player any time soon, but he's been a crucial member of Illinois' rotation.

Good outing off the bench Ivisic finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 victory over Ohio State.

Impact Ivisic had one of his better games of the season coming off the bench against Ohio State on Tuesday night. The junior forward was a scoring threat, notching 13 points on six shots (while burying two threes once again at 7-foot-2) while also providing production down low with eight boards and a blocked shot. Ivisic has been very solid off the bench for Illinois, and Tuesday night was one of his better showings.
