.... and I'm even more impressed.
Illinois controls the boards (by 14!), shoots almost 50% from the field, 78% from the line. They make a ton of really difficult shots, and when they don't make them they get the rebound. Illinois is loaded with talent.
Hawks counter with Perk - amazing game! Make 87% from the line on 30 FT's! Kris is Kris, but below his average for points. Sandfort with some huge buckets and 6 boards! Only 6 turnovers. I don't think any Hawk had a bad game - contributions from many.
Hawks now 5-0 against the teams above them in the standings. Beat Michigan and NW that are just behind them.
This team plays hard. Fran HAS to get a lot of credit for this team's performance. It's not the most talented in the B1G by a long shot.
Go Hawks!
