Second half with around 6 minutes left in the game and I believe it was to Bam on the left side just back of the three point lane.

I enjoyed Genesis Bryant on the call, thought she did great
If he is struggling now, while he’s averaging right at 20 points a game and six rebounds a game, I hate to think what it will look like when he doesn’t struggle.

Hes also had 7 rebounds in both games and averaging 4 offensive rebounds per game. I've been impressed with how sound he has been defensively too.
I’m considering…swigging a shot of maple syrup every time Will Riley gets a 4-pointer; the rest of the season.
He has to start by getting physically stronger and more physical during the games. He's going to be a liability on the defensive end to start the year, especially in the glass. I think that his offensive game is going to be on the perimeter. He's got a long way to go, but he's only a freshman.
Right, here's an update with that OSU game shown as a win over a Top25 team and next to KP. Yeah, we look pretty good by these measures.

As I write this, it is on the Home page, second down. I would post it here for you if I knew how to do that exactly.
It is pretty slick
Yeah, I don’t know where the 27 Off. Reb. number came from either but I checked the Fighting Illini website’s box score and it has numbers that are different from yours. Not criticizing you just reporting what’s on the Fighting Illini website. I guess it could be wrong, too. I don’t know.
In fact, now I am totally confused. It also says Illinois got 47 total rebounds. I thought I read posts here that Illinois was outrebounded. Color me confused, but then that is kind of my normal state.
Yeah, its strange narrative. Of the 50 rebounds that were available when SUIE shot the ball, SIUE got 19 or 38%. Of the 38 rebounds available when Illinois shot the ball, Illinois got 16 or 42%. There is room for improvement, sure, but...
No worries. Sports Reference isn't my site. lol. Weird . It seems every site has a different number. Just checking the Illini box score, SIUE missed 51 shots plus 9 FT for a total of 60 misses. But the box score has only 50 rebounds. Hmmm. idk.

What I noticed too much was Illinois players running toward the basket instead of boxing their man out. A lot of SIUE offensive rebounds were on long rebounds that went over the heads of Illini players. Fortunately, that's a pretty easy thing to identify on film and fix in practice.
We gave SUIE too many second shot opportunities. That wasn’t just hyperbole from Brad. We often didn’t get a body on somebody down low. But, worse yet we had a lot to of guys watching and not really trying to release to the ball after the shot went up.
Surprisingly SUIE is fairly physical for a cupcake. They looked similar against Indiana. It’s just something we’re gonna have to continue to improve on for Bigten rockfights coming up.
(think: Michigan State)
But based on the huge strides we’ve made on D…it makes me think we’ll get that whipped into shape; in no time.
Allow me to introduce you to the Washington Huskies, losers at Nevada 63-53 over the weekend. They have the $2 million dollar NIL man Great Osobor, and a new coach that’s made the NCAA with Montana State and Utah State for the past 3 years.
53 total points. Paying a guy $2 million. He had I think 3 of those points himself. 9 rebounds though. The expectation was they’d run high post offense through him, but without much help, Nevada just doubled him all night and closed down most entry pass sequences. The Huskies ended up not driving, not drawing many fouls, bricking many shots and being dull to watch doing it.
Very Groce like.
Illinois is visiting out here in Seattle on Jan 5 btw. Seats are easy to come by, Hec Ed Pavilion / Alaska Airlines Arena is rarely sold out. And I don’t think is going to break that trend just yet, unless out of town fans show up in numbers. It seats 10,000, kind of has a pre-rebuilt Welsh Ryan feel to it. Maybe just because of the purple.
He just needs to give them all nicknames.
Washington looked boring and one dimensional against Nevada.
Tomi is a sophomoreImagine a world where KJ, Will, Tomi, and Rez play four years of college basketball for Illinois.
I will be there
