Calapari on the ref about Riley getting his hand under the ball, and I understand. His dribbling looks real goofy to me. Long dribbles and lots of pauses that look like travels to my eye.

Now that, my friends, was a mighty fine half of basketball. Cal and the hogs weren't ready. We were.
Everyone played in that first half. Only one not to score was Booth.
I think IL could play Arkansas about 100 times and win 95 of them. The difference in skill level is astonishing. One team is playing well rounded basketball, the other’s entire offense is wild drives to the basket and hoping for fouls.
I’d say after this game IL will be entering the top 25, and staying for the rest of the season. Arkansas will be exiting, and doubt they get back in. They just don’t have any skill

Gotta say, Brad's ability to instill some serious bite into these guys so quickly is impressive. I was a bit nervous it'd take some time after that Alabama game, but we look like dogs up and down the lineup now.
Where would they be without the charity strike?? Man, this easily could've been way worse than 15. They have nothing outside of free-throws and tough-contested layups. Would like to see us foul a bit less.
All in all, 15 point lead... I'll take it and then some. Impressed with our offense. I said limit TOs and OREBs... think we're doing okay.

We get the ball first. Run a good play and extend this lead.

We look really good on a big stage. Really good.
Great for the program and the school.

Boswell, looks smooth and strong.
Perfect that he keeps driving. Scoring, keeping them honest and kicking.

12 assists at half...very nice to see an improving passing offense.
Boswell showing up on offense and as always on ball defense is smothering.

Love me a Jake Davis three.
3 pointer or 3 fouls?
To be fair, the "hoping for fouls" part has been a pretty good strategy so far.

If Jake can break even on points vs fouls, I'll take it.

Riley will need to add weight and muscle. Fletch will do it. Come out strong baby.

Cool that Morez comes in and immediately makes an impact.
He is going to be a great physical presence when Ivisic sits.
