Seems like one of those games where Illinois will hang around but never regain the lead, or if they do, it's only for 1 possession.

edit: or just be in blowout status by the half...sheesh

UConn will either play dumb and/or Hurley will slow the game up on some high school shyt and allow Illinois to stick around, I've seen this script before

Illinois spams too many 3s at a low percentage.... I think they're more of a top 20ish team rather than top 15, while UConn is a legit top 10

Illinois has missed 13 three point attempts in a row...yet they keep taking them every possession. They're not even offensive rebounding well either. They have all these Serbs on the team, you'd think they'd have some post ups with interior passing and cutting, but their offense is so predicated on 3s. To make matters worse for them, Uconn is scoring in the paint at ease in the half court.
