Rutgers building a house with all these early bricks. Turnovers a problem once again for us.
-
10-0 run. Plummer can stroke it.
-
Who needs Curbello???
-
I was worried about Hawkins picking up fouls guarding Harper. Hawkins playing well.
We're better without Curbelo.
-
Hawkins playing great D.
.
I like the ball movement.
Having 4 guys who can shoot on floor around Kofi is a recipe for success.
-
Hawkins is eating Harper up. Defense isn't giving Rutgers many easy looks.
Our spacing on offense is really good.
Nice block by Payne!
-
Payne's best showing so far.
-
Miller from Rutgers can really guard on ball.
Real PITA.

That block was sweet.
Grandison hitting 3s is huge.
-
Plummer now 22-22 for year on FTs
-
Harper 1-6. Good half for Hawkins.
Payne with 5 boards and the block.
-
Keep this up for another 20 minutes and we'll have ourselves an easy W.
-
Turned it over a bunch early. Finished the half with 7. 1 turnover the last 12 minutes or so ?
-
Mulcahey just chucking shit up. The crowd is in his head.
-
The most passes i have ever seen kofi have in his whole career in 1 game.

Must have been a point of emphasis for the coaches. It becomes a pick-your-poison kind of deal when he kicks it out to wide open 3 point shooters. Get eaten alive by Kofi or get buried by the three.

This is refreshing.

Kofi. Beast. Have a seat, big fella. You've earned it.
-
What was the Mulcahy back story?

I win…

They've had entire practices where he's not allowed to shoot.

This is encouraging news!

Missed the game, was at my local HS watching Bball and a conference opening win. Back on track of late. Hopefully Belo comes back soon and gets back on track as well.
Off topic, Purdue is solid.
-
Fun game. Rutgers is bad, especially without Baker. But we need tune up games badly.
Love the ball movement and getting away from that repetitive boring ball screen. Kofi passing out of double teams is huge for the team development although there were a couple times I think he thought pass first when he could have easily scored himself. But it’s a start. Starting to see flashes of what this team could be if everything comes together.

This. Hope to see more of this.

I believe they used to do that with Shaun Pruitt.

Last night statistically was just about a perfectly played game for Illinois.
12-33 from 3. 66 overall FG attempts. If it’s not a Kofi paint shot, then shooting the 3 is the next best shot. So good on Illinois not shooting many 2s. 3s and Kofi is all you need
13 offensive rebs on 34 missed shots. That’s good.
Only 10 turnovers.
Probably Illinois best game they’ve played in years.
Curbelo quite possibly was the cancer. At least turnover cancer. Take him out and the team is far more efficient
