Illinois shot chart through 2 games

[Shell21]

i’m going to say ours will look the complete opposite tonight.

Oh, and they set zero ball screens and scored 120 in and 112 in the second

That team’s gonna set some records in conference this year. Play with incredible pace, ball movement is crisp and the shot diet is built for the modern game. Deep team so they can sub in droves and keep their guys fresh, while everyone on the floor is a threat from 3pt range. Just incredible roster construction — yes, $ has played a role in their portal pickups (Ivisic bros + Vaaks) but they recruit the high school ranks incredibly well…3 stars ready to contribute right away to go along with the occasional blue-chipper. Oh and they don’t even have their preseason-AA healthy yet. I’m jealous

They have looked quite dominant. We have zero shot against them.

Only 7 two point shots outside the paint.

Looks like they play Horse instead of basketball.

It’s all about fg percentage and playing defense.

GO RU

We had shot charts like that last season too against the cupcakes. Let's see what it looks like in Vegas

Best Illinois team since Luther Head, Deron Williams et al.

Do they get flogged if they shoot a two from that area?

I hate how basketball is now with either a 3 or a dunk/layup. Mid range, elbow, other 2pt shots make it more interesting

Well you picked the right team to root for then

I guess. They need to move the line out college and pros as it was meant as an exceptional shot now guys routinely shooting higher and higher percentages - make it harder IMO and go back to a more interesting game for us all

I could get behind moving the line back. The Illinois chart is still exactly what you want in todays game and what it should look like against a team you can get anything you want against. They'll have some midrange in there against teams that defend well.

Agree they are doing it right. I just don’t like it

and get rid of the gather step stupidity. Guys now jump 3 feet back or over and shoot which you can’t defend . Not that long ago that’s clearly a travel

Also bring back the carry! Every single dribble was a turnover 30 years ago.
