*****Iowa vs Illinois Game Thread*****

Well daddy's boy came in and we lost a 5-point lead and now down 1 (almost 3) at half. McCaffery will absolutely sell out his team's success for his son(s) undeserved playing time. Pretty pathetic and a lack of integrity Fran and why I lost all respect for him with Conner. But JMO!

That’s about as well as we can play. Disappointed we gave up a 5 point lead in the last 4 minutes, but finishing with the Sandy basket is a boost.

Dix played incredibly well, on offense and defense, hope he can keep it going.

Surely they can’t keep hitting 3s at better than 50%

Iowa needs to get stops!

How the Illini got to 44 pts:

7-17 (41%) from 3
9-16 (56%) from 2
....................
16-33 (49%) Overall Shooting

5-7 (71%) FTs
 
Pat had a great pass at the end of the half. That pretty much sums up his half. The guys are in this and it’s going to take a great effort in the 2nd half. Need to get our big guy going…. Inside out game if needed but he can do it. No foul trouble so far. Illinois is relentless on the offensive boards.

Wow, nice long pass Pmac!

Yes, that in-bound specialist seems to run in family.

9 defensive rebounds for Iowa and Illinios has 8 offensive rebpunds...that is the problem. Although PMAC is offense minded player, he's 6'9 and he should be plus rebounder and he in instead a below average rebounder. . Krikke having decent game other than Coleman Hawkins was 4/5 while being guarded by Krikke. This Iowa team is pretty skilled on offense, but not enough above the rim players. Perkins carrying the team with 5 rebounds at the half. Game like this shows how much Iowa needs some athleticism/strength which is what Perkins brings.

Honestly I think this is about as good as Iowa can play.

If we leave them wide open they will

PMac and Sandfort are both better match ups on Coleman than Krikke. I would like to see more Dembele, his defense impresses me more and more. Unfortunately, his offense is pretty raw.

Iowa is not going to shoot 70% in second half, so defense/rebounding better be good.
