Looks like the easy 20-point win that Ol' Doodle was promised may not happen.

Stupid fortune cookie.

The free throw discrepancy is ridiculous.

Pretty much what I expected. Illinois mugs and grabs every Iowa possession—3 fouls. Illinois is already in the bonus with Iowa getting whistled for a handful of ticky tack fouls.

Need to get Koch, Sage, and/or Al going. No way Stirtz can carry the load himself.

we’ve had a couple bad breaks, need to dig deep and work through it…

Illinois is pushing off every offensive possession.

Iowa is not playing smart right now.
