Illinois 89, Detroit 69 POSTGAME
I need a GIF thread of Leron Black's post basket displays.
Suspect post defense, but the refs were a little whistle happy. Need to get better for sure in that area, but it may not have been quite as bad as it seemed.
Happy with pretty much everything else. Glad to see T-bone get the and 1 at the end. He's going to be special

In honor of 70Math, I'll make the first observation.
Feel free to add in, please
1) JT's best game in some time, I thought. Moved the ball well and just generally ran a clean show.

I was in and out of the game, so this may not be the most accurate post, but it seemed to me that Mike Thorne a) got a lot of minutes to the exclusion of Mav, b) played great with the basketball, c) played really poorly without the basketball. Frustrating.
But, overall, good game. More consistent than previous games against similar opponents.

Led from start to finish and game was never in doubt. Much better in comparison to the SEMO and NKU games. Competition gets much tougher now.
Well Mav fouled out so there is that.
Got to be one of the most foul-ridden games on record, at least we won, but the refs came in a close second, not Detroit. The other winners were Leron and Kipper with their moves on the bench in celebration. Onto to win #5 against Winthrop, go Illini!!

2 more wins and we're bowl eligib....oh, never mind.
Entertaining game. Thorne has conditioning work to do, and I think that's why he got minutes tonight. Hill had a good game, JT looked great, and Finke works so hard. We need to work on the turnovers. 15 isn't horrible, but this wasn't a particular tight defense.

He had it 85-69. That's 3 for 3 for him being real close to the actual score.

Those refs were foul happy. Mav didn't really foul out.
Actually Morgan played poorly in his 17 minutes. Finke, IMO, had a poor game for him. It will be interesting to see what the rotation is like as the season progresses. I think we'll be alright.

He also got away with a couple of no calls. I like the aggressiveness, but he's got to have more control of his arms in the post.
Bench Conduct
Is Leron Black & Co. trying to be the next Monmouth bench mob to entertain? How does Groce feel about this?

JCL with 6 boards, didn't score as many as he would have liked but good job pushing the ball in transition, rotating on defense and outworking his man.
