Illinois 120, Fairleigh Dickinson 45 Postgame

Hoping they can throw him in a sully brace and work through it!!
Illinois had 30 assists on 46 made field goals (65%).
Obviously the competition wasn’t great, but last year only 50% of our made field goals were assisted, which was 240th in the country.
I think that rate goes up this year.

I swear Vaaks has one of the prettiest shots I’ve seen.

that isn't terrible. To me he didn't pass my eye test
I've become too cynical in my advancing age. I told my dad earlier today, Bears by 3. Illini by 43.
Shot chart from this game:
100% of Illinois shot attempts were either below the free throw circle or from 3.

Could have won by 80 if he did
Hang it in the Louvre.
Underwood in post game presser stated Mirk was not at the arena tonight because he was sick...had nausea...didn't want him around the team.
Talk about when it rains it puts. Get it al lout of the way now I guess.

I took that as he needed some time to recover from the appendix surgery. Coming off anesthesia can sometimes make you nauseous
I don't think so. BU would not be worried about keeping him away from the team if that were the case. But who knows?
It would have been more surprising to me, if he were there after the weekend he had. Dude needs to take it easy for a few days.
FDU is not good, but holy smokes…
I don’t know how BU & Co keep finding 3 star guys who can play, but they just keep doing it.
The inability of this board to pick up sarcasm is unnnnmatched

The nausea is most likely from his Appendectomy. My son was pretty sick for about 4-5 days
Really bad looks at times tonight. No confidence near the rim. The extra weight makes him look very sluggish. Still jumping on pump fakes. And doesn’t shoot like Tomi either. Only bright spot was 3 ORebs.
I realize it was only against FDU, but still; our players, including the frosh, made a lot of creative, confident passes. They passed it well from the post and around the perimeter. Very crisp and unselfish. Glad to see the frosh get so much PT. I can't help wondering how well FDU would do in the CCIW.
Gotta say, the future is looking BRIGHT if we keep these freshman and sophomores! JJ has impressed me with the leap he has had over last year, Brown has some maturity and IQ I wasn’t expecting, and Lincoln Williams might have me most excited. The athleticism, defensive lock-in mentality, and “dawg” he has in him I think will make these guys dangerous in the future if we can keep him for a few more years.
My self-deprecating humor side of me wants to say, did Brad go out and get his deepest team because he was tired of constant injuries happen when least expected? I was hoping Jake Davis’ shoulder injury would be minor enough to be back shortly.
Tomi looked beastly, Andrej looked focused, and Vaaks has just an impressive shot motion. The faster offense is fun to watch.
I’m excited! Get healthy! Let’s go win the season!
