Awfully nice to have a 22 pt lead despite shooting 2-13 from three. Nice to not be entirely dependent on 3pt %.

Yep.
I'm not one to make fun of people's voices. But goodness. This is really painful to listen to. And it's not just the voice -- it's the analysis, the play-by-play, everything.
Cringeworthy is the only way to describe it.

Huh? Isn't that precisely our strength right now? They're young, but they are very talented.

+1. Shot clock violations are now a thing of the past.

I'd be willing to bet that we should expect to see a "different team" pretty much every night through at least the first half of the season. We are so young and not accustomed to the offense yet.

I think he's talking about Southern. Granted, Southern doesn't have elite guards, but Frazier is defending them very well.
Though I'm not sure I'd call our guards "elite" at this point just yet.
He's playing solid D! Someone previously mentioned there's a lotta thinking happening on offense instead the O just flowing. Once the youngings learn the flow, everything changes. Frazier is definitely a player I wanna see get up to speed
53 pts on 42 possessions isn't too paltry, given that we were 2 of 13 (15%) on 3 pt. shooting

Oh yeah, that makes a lot more sense now that I reread it.

It's almost like they're amateurs or something... :tsk:

I think the Illini's lead can be attributed to free throw shooting. Gotta love how many makes and attempts they've had in this half.
Does anyone remember the last time we had 20 free throws at the half of a game? Nice to see us get to the line that much, and to convert

I dont think we win this honestly.
Southern is very underrated; we just came off of a deflating loss.
SU 71- 68 Illini"
How 'bout now?
Shoot, we weren't far from putting up that many points in the first half!

Shoot, last year I think we rarely had 20 free throws in the whole game considering our tendency to just chuck up jumpers.
Nope.
I really like the look of the halftime box score. Layups and free throws = winning.

Sorry, too lazy to check. Is that a real game or exhibition? Hoping for the former.
So, do we hit 100 pts?
I'm betting that we heat up from 3 pt. land and look like it will happen, but play some of our walkons in the final five minutes, and end up with 94 pts.

Sorry, bad wording on my part
Real game. Indiana State got beat by Purdue by 22 points in an exhibition game 2 weeks ago.
