Context Explanation

Join discussions and stay updated on Illinois Fighting Illini basketball with the Illini Message Board. Illinois should absolutely attack the basket and play inside to open up the perimeter. Tomi/Z knocking down a few shots would also help pull Reed outside where he would have to cover a lot of ground to protect the rim and put him out of position where it's more likely he picks up a foul. Wrong again, a basketball is much lighter than the basket and its supports, so when long shots arrive at the basket with greater velocity (when shot in a normal way, w/o extreme arch), they do, on the average, cause longer rebounds.

Insight Material

I'm far more optimistic having broken multiple fingers as a HS soph. Got spun around going up for a layup and ran into the pad behind the basket hard enough I broke 2 fingers on my right (dominant/shooting) hand. Still in the game. In the next 2 minute span they hit 4 consecutive 3's while we had 1 2pt basket. The lead went from 46-37 to 58-39.

Final Conclusion

We played them even the rest of the way. That 2 minutes really doomed us. Dont get me wrong they were definitely the better team. But take away that 2 minutes and it would look alot different. It was still a very ... I like KB going to the basket, but better decisions need to be made or make damn sure you have an easy two.
