Yes, this team is very resilient and you have to give them credit for their better FT shooting in the second half. Really too down the stretch! Outstanding win!!!
Whistle definitely favored us today and we took advantage at the line in the second half. I think our D did a good job playing tough D without fouling.
I’d bet the Illinois fans are chirping about the sequence where Paul drew the flagrant during free throws.
Very impressive in second half. But Mathis needs to figure out what's going on at the line. If he had made his freebies (and the two dunks) he's easily over 20 points.
