Illinois 92, Arkansas State 53 Postgame
“Truly Coleman Hawkins world that we’re living in right now, Scott.” The announcer may be on to something.

Imagine what we'll be when we have our 1st Team All-American.

Right this team was #11 in the country based on more than just 1 player.

Yes, I would be interested in adding an NPOY candidate to the roster we saw in action tonight. Please and thank you.

Yeah, we're pretty deep. Kinda cool.
I need to figure out my plans the day after Thanksgiving. I feel like I can probably ditch BTN+ and not worry too much about UT - Rio Grande Valley.
Great game by the Illini, but brutal camera work tonight. I bet 90% of the game was out of focus.

I thought Hawkins would contribute down the road, but I didn't expect a leap like this so quickly. Hopefully he can keep it up against better competition as his future looks bright.
Belo looked great tonight!
A little concerned with 9/17 combined for belo and Cohawk on FTs.....

lol, my comments are being taken slightly out of context here, as my main point was that we didn’t need everyone back to win tonight, 2 out of the 3 would be enough.
That being said:
A fully healthy #19 UNC beat #284 Brown by 7 points tonight.
I don’t think it was outside the realm of possibility, if we were missing 4 of our best players, to have this game be a bit closer than we would’ve liked.
2nd half of Bulls - Warriors about to start on ESPN. Ayo with 6 at half (third leading scorer for Chicago)
The same strenghts we showed in our first game we showed tonite but also the same weaknesses aleo. Namely poor free throw shooting and not so hot 3 point shooting. That has to improve moving forward as the competition gets better. But WOW you have to be impressed and excited about our potential. Go ILLINI!
Fear the Vaqueros.
INI !!!!!
All the “OMG…without Belo and Trent” …. such concern.
I’m right there with you sacraig….
We are DEEP and TALENTED 1- 10.
That leaves out 3 very skilled freshman, and I believe at least Goode will get tick in meaningful games.
RJ and Podz will come along …. they’re freshman and their time will come.
CoHawk made the jump. He will be in the league at some point.
Grandi is rock solid.
What a team. Deep, deep, deep.
I’m even encouraged with Lieb…..
Good win boys….looking forward to the season.

For those who didn't see the game...
Edit: After watching the "highlights" I can only assume that the editor went to Ark. State. You might get the impression they beat us by watching these highlights.

I think those used to be 89 cents at Taco Bell.
It has gotten to the point with FT shooting (and not just the Illini) that I wonder if I just need to temper my expectations. Maybe teams shooting below (and often well below) 75% is just the new norm like hitters in baseball batting .230 with 33 HRs and 175 strikeouts.
