Is Jordan hot today? We may never know!

Good call!

 

[skyIdub]

Gee, I wonder what the score would be if AJ shot all of Trents threes.......

Thank goodness for Feliz so far …

If he could only make free throws

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Needed that. Nice rebound by ADLR.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Jordan! That was big.

 

[GoIllini23]

I play zone the entire second half, at least until they shoot you out of it

Half time shooting percentages

Down 7 points at half after all that? I'll take it.

Okay, he's a "flawed hero" - it's in the script to make him more relatable

and, you know, Underdog was a character who made a fair amount of mistakes, before he eventually delivered …

Some crappy shots and free throws today. Feliz only one driving the ball.

More Feliz kickouts please!

 

[HoopCity]

I sure hope they run some sets for Jordan the second half. If he "is hot" this could be over !!

 

[BWBW]

So, how much a-- chewing is going on in the Illinois locker room right now? I'd assume a lot?

 

[IdahoIllini]

Terrible half. Completely uninspired performance. Getting punked by PSU.

Maybe Battle can give the halftime speech. Get these guys to stop sleepwalking.

And drum roll for FT%.....

 

[GoIllini23]

PSU was also very lucky in that half, several prayers found the bottom of the net

 

[skyIdub]

Just keep them out of the lane and force them to shoot. They are the worst three point shooting team in the league I believe. Glad it's only 7 points.

More Feliz kickouts please!

Feliz

And drum roll for FT%.....

yeah … not so good

 

[illinitiger]

80% to 50% PSU advantage on FTs. we only had 3 assists in 1st half....we are not sharp today. Can Kendall Gill suit up in 2d half?

 

[Deleted member 746317]

yeah … not so good

And, more ugly stats ...

 

[GoIllini23]

Oh boy

 

[bombayIllini]

Replay of 1st half. So far.

 

[BMoreIllini]

I'm so sick of players falling when the offensive player is backing them down. It's one thing to take a charge when a player is driving out of control, but stand your ground when getting backed down unless there's something egregious.

 

[Bailey]

Lamar Stevens is good

 

[GoIllini23]

We deserve to get beat soundly, poor coaching, timid play and lack of hustle
