@craigwchoate I completely agree with the optimism and being battle tested in March. This is the design. Frustrating to get out-rebounded and shoot so poorly at the line. The turnovers were soft in the first half. Second half is the total potential and it gets better with Mirk and/or Jake
@takhtehchianmd Illini are #1 in KenPom offensive efficiency! Not just this year or in the Big Ten, but all-time!!! We are watching the most efficient offense in NCAA history, lead by a true freshman. This needs to be marketed to all high level recruits…
@NFLFantasy Had lead most of the night and was the favorite. Lost lead by 2 on Hurts’ last scramble. Then his final interception -2 left us in a tie. Apparently, I move on as I was the higher seed. 🤷🏼♂️
@DPiper247 By the time Harris came in it was too late. Perkins was already feeling it from mid range. Easy to happen when you see the ball go in and get that many free throw attempts.
Anyone that wants to follow my sports bet picks just reach out. I went 1-5 on NCAA yesterday. Simple formula, do the opposite of me. #DraftKings crushing the NBA though!
I’m really encouraged but the Illini team now. Goode coming back. Epps blowing up. Too bad Iowa doesn’t come to Champaign this year. This team can make a run in March.
First half takeaways:
Tic-tac second foul on Mayer stopped some momentum and now it’s too close for comfort
Rodgers logged solid minutes but had 2 of the worst passing turnovers I have ever seen.
Hawkins shooting 30 footers.
Clean it up and grind out a win in the 2nd half!
