1. Illinois is flat out a better team with better players. Period.
2. We had no answer for Terrence Shannon, Jr. or that Domask kid (where did HE come from??). And Illinois’ weave offense consistently got them open looks, whether getting downhill or passing out to open shooters.
3. We got MURDERED in the boards. As of this moment, we’re getting outrebounded 53-27, and Illinois has 18 offensive rebounds. Our starting PF has 2 rebounds after only getting 1 against St. Peter’s.
4. Cliff was AWFUL. He gets decent looks in the post but has zero dexterity or ability to finish inside 10 feet or at the rim.
5. We got exposed with our small players.
