Those shooting stats are 🤮.

Also going to guess that Harris leading the team in FGA is not the long-term plan.

Ugly box score except it's a win. Gotta be the travel.
Rogers with 4PF in 23 minutes.
FT shooting
3pt shootin
A/TO for the team

Glad for the guys though --traveling to Spain, playing some ball --should be a wonderful experience, and it looks like they could use a little extra practice!

57 rebounds? Seems like a lot.
I wouldn't mind seeing Madrid All Star's box score as well.
Do people this age and in good athletic condition get jet lag? /s
And finally, youtube had live streaming of the game but one had to sign in or create an account and I just didn't really want to do that for various reasons. So I don't know how good it was or whether it even worked. But for those of you who seem to be desperate to watch, it might be available for the next game, too.

Some more details here. We were down 56-42 at one point, so sounds like we really turned it around at the end of the game

Illini Open Tour of Spain with 84-73 Victory Over Madrid All-Stars - University of Illinois Athletics

Dain Dainja's 16-point, 15-rebound double-double helps lead Illini to comeback victory in opening game in Spain.

Sounds very familiar to last season. I know, I know, it's August...still time to make strides but they must be made.

I imagine streaming the game is not allowed. I presume the staff wouldn't want that? So the media can't start narratives that get in the players heads? Positive or negative. So fans on Twitter and message boards don't get too many ideas?

Just saying, anyone could set their phone on a tripod and stream anything live to YouTube or wherever. It can't be that it's impossible to stream the game, it has to be that it isn't allowed. I'd be curious why exactly.

Don’t take away much from this game, or any of these games for that matter. Diff ball, diff country.

Of note anyone else see that Nebraska just took the same tour before ILL? Vs the same three teams. Fwiw they went 3-0. Game vs Mardrid all stars went to OT and Valencia was a 3 pt win.

Really hope that early on CoHawk either demonstrates he can hit at a solid clip from 3 or just gives it up entirely.

I'd love to know what his NBA feedback was. Seems like with his height and mobility he ought to be able to get lots of solid looks in the 6-12 range.

I agree I think he was at his best when he was acting as a 5 and getting into the paint last year.

It gives him easier passes he's less likely to turn over and he really just isnt the shooter he thinks he is. He really needs to cut back on the attempts if he's shooting under 30% again.

There are some talented guys on a lot of these rosters but the college players are obviously going to be playing harder.

The other side is pros with nothing really to prove and I'm sure they're using it to experiment with rotations and get some younger guys minutes.

I would also add looking at the box score everyone played about 15-20 minutes except Redd who had 6.

Without seeing the game it could have been the coaching staff throwing lineups together and seeing how they worked

The amount of 3s and FT% will be interesting going into the season
