He was in briefly earlier.
Offensive Rebounds. One of JCL shots almost bounced all the way out of bounds. He was already headed down court. At least have the shooter follow their shot.

He looked a little hobbled and gave up an easy transition layup to Woodbury. Groce called timeout immediately after. I don't think Finke has been in since that timeout. I'm not sure he's played more than 3 minutes.

I'll give Austin props, really good defense on that possession.
Why in the world give the ball up to tate 25 ft from the basket with 2 seconds on the shot clock? Malcolm has done that multiple times the past few games. You'd have a better chance shooting a skyhook from that distance than tate burying a 3 pointer
And with that, Finke ole's on an up and under... Not sure it's related to the knee but it looked bad.

We really have to score in transition. Once we settle into the halfcourt, we so rarely get a good shot.
Ah, must have missed it.
Don't usually say this... Good job with the quick hands by AA there
Tate and Austin at the same time make me want to cry.
Is it bad that I'm starting to questions how good Kendrick Nunn actually is?

He has been really pressing the past few games
He's not the same since becoming a daddy, and I find that to be completely plausible. It will improve as he exits the "no sleep ever" phase.
A few observations:
-Groce is too soft on his players.
-Nunn will never go to the NBA because he is afraid to get foul - nothing but three point shots and tear drops
-Illini's offense is all about one individual playing hero ball and launching threes while Iowa players are always moving looking to get open for the best shot.

Yep, Nunn is good, but has not been letting the game come to him lately.
