For those who think the ball doesn't matter, I would offer that you've never been a shooter. The ball MOST DEFINITELY matters. Unless you're Larry Bird or Seth Curry, then, you could probably shoot pumpkins and still make 'em.

AND, if it is up to the School, then, GET THE CONTRACT WITH THE BALL USED IN THE NCAA!!!! Otherwise, you're being obtuse.

Illinois readies for NCAA Tournament after conference tourney exit

An early exit in the Big Ten Tournament was another letdown in a season riddled with inconsistencies.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois didn’t expect to be back home this early.
After a regular season that ended on a massive high — a court storming party at the State Farm Center — the team thought it was peaking at the right time.
Instead, it had a cold shooting night and went one-and-done in the Big Ten Tournament with a quarterfinal loss as the top seed to ninth-seeded Indiana.
The Illini’s quick exit was another case of a valley in their volatile season. With inconsistent lineups due to injuries and other factors, it’s been a year lacking consistency.
“We were expecting to be here and we were expecting to win it all,” Coleman Hawkins said. “We all had a good feeling going in here, but obviously it didn’t happen.”

There were highs like the Iowa win and the upset over Michigan State without two stars. There have also been some low points like road losses to Rutgers and Maryland, the second being without Kofi Cockburn.Cockburn has missed five games this year, but that’s minimal in the big picture of the team’s overall state of being incomplete. The team’s first full strength starting five featured Cockburn, Hawkins, Trent Frazier, Andre Curbelo and Jacob Grandison in November. Curbelo went down with a concussion a couple of days later and that unit hasn’t started together since.

If you watch the game the shot clock did reset to 30 seconds after the ball was stolen and after he lost it out of bounds the shot clock was set to 17 seconds.. Oh and he dribbled it from half court.

I meant if he was coming back to play had we advanced. I know you want to prove you are the smartest person in the room but stop twisting my words and understand what someone is saying.

I was being too cute. I agree with your larger point (the loss does of give the team as a whole more more rest), but more recovery time for Grandson was always in OUR control, win or lose, and not some additional benefit of losing early. Sorry for being snarky about it.

I believe it's because FTs only apply if the team drawing the foul is in possession of the ball when it occurs. Even in the bonus, drawing a charge results only in a turnover. I'll let others correct me if I'm wrong.

Essentially this.

You cannot get shots on a offensive foul, only a defensive one. The only exception being if it's a flagrant foul.
