It's not showing up on my program guide. Anyone else seeing the Big show on the schedule?
Same here on my Dish network, it was showing up on the schedule earlier in the week now it’s disappeared.

Illini: 79
Colgate: 71

Dain goes for 14pts 10reb. They hang tight most the game, their size gives us problems, but we eventually wear them down.

Probably going to move it to BIG+ or their newest fan favorite Peacock channel!!

Your post got me curious so I ran the numbers.

CH 3pt shots from last year.
Neutral 5/24 21%
Away 11/39 28%
Home 21/70 30%

So yea he did shoot better at home. But looking closely at the numbers, of the 17 home games, in 15 of those he shot 10/53 18%.

2 games he shot lights out at 11/17. One was the first game of the season (5/8) and the other was a conference game with Wisconsin (6/9).
Definitely outliers. 2 out of 33 games.
And if you don't count those two outlier games, Hawkins shot 22% from three over their other 31 games.

He is blunting their offense shooting 3s and I don't understand why he's not told to play inside the arc, where he's a bigger force to be reckoned with.

I think that Colgate is a feisty bunch. We saw them last year when they were also in Des Moines for the tournament. That said, if this is in single digits coming down the stretch....I'll be supremely disappointed. This is one of those games where losing is absolutely not an option.

When you go to the Big Ten Network TV
schedule on their website it does show the Illini game starting at 1 est. I had to manually set my Directv dvr to record from
noon to 2:30.

Maybe to pull their big away from the lane to open up driving lanes for TSJ?

When Hawkins finally made a 3 late in the FAU game, there was no one anywhere near to him. A defender is going to sag off a 22% 3-shooter. Heck, they were probably encouraging him to shoot, to get a TO.

Last year's team had a lot of talent, against UCLA there was a stretch in the game in which Melendez had a couple of strong plays and I was like this team is loaded. But it was a team built on a shaky foundation. I think this team like the veteran FAU team is much more mature and unselfish. I think our losses are going to be grind out lossed but not blowouts or no shows like last year. Even during Ayo/Kofi years we had a couple of bad losses or games (Miami at Illinois).
