Has Keaton just decided he’s gonna lull opponents into sleep in the first half, and then quietly drop a bunch of points on them in the second half?

Ilini are now 44% for the game from the floor, 30 % from the arc, and 4/4 from the line. Nothing terrific but good enough to get an 11 pt. lead on NW while playing poorly overall.

Wagler’s got a nice mid range game, to go with his 3 point game and his drive to the hoop game.

Duke blew a 16pt second half lead against the Texas Tech team we beat. Whether you watch them or not, you definitely don't have the same desire to sweat your head in about it 24/7 (unless you're a Duke fan, analyst, etc).
Not saying they are perfect by any means. Just saying more often than not their coach will draw up an actual play in that situation.

Thats literally all I am asking to see more of from us

Tomi's rebounding is not good.
The more I see of him defensively this season, the more I don't like what I'm seeing. He looks slower, tentative, passive, and unsure on positioning. It's worrisome. We're halfway through the season thus far- I'm not a doomer, but I'm getting mighty nervous he's just not going to get there this year. He's bordering on a barely replacement level center at this point.

Just tuning in (had plans get in the way of seeing the first half). Not good for me to turn it on and immediately see their best player get a wide open uncontested 3, then another 1, misses, no one accounts for him and then proceeds to get a wide open dunk...

Last I recall- Guarding the best player on the floor is a good idea.

Let's pull this out no matter what it looks like.

ILL
