Iowa 55-45 at the half. Illinois still red hot at 61% and 50% from 3.Iowa also shooting very well, but a lot of those are layups as opposed to Illinois almost all mid-range jumpers and 3 pointers.

Shooting is contagious ...

Iowa has 28 points in the paint, their scoring is extremely well balanced. Shut down pig face and build this lead up a lot more.

 

[hagarwood]

On the year Illinois has 1 player that shoots above 45%, Witting and 2 players above 40% on 3's and they don't shoot much. Time to come back to earth.

 

[hagarwood]

Let's not have quarter where we have a bunch of turnovers and let Illinois get confident. Then the refs will get involved and keep the Illini close.
