Halftime and are up 46-37. After starting yesterday with those offensive woes, we seem to have them figured out.
Do not like seeing us give up 37 points in a half.

Have seen 9 total players with 6 logging 11+ minutes.
Fens, Ojukwu, and Brownell with single digit minutes.
CJ Jones at 7 points and 3 assists has been really making good contributions.
Clay having an off night on offense but if you bring the defense can still contribute.
Not watching but I like that Okani seems to be forcing a little less. Only 5 points on 2/3 shooting but the scoring is pretty evenly distributed. If he’s being keyed on or doesn’t have it, others can get it. He’s still got 5 boards as well.

Kennedy not dressed today but on sideline and looks like he doesn’t have a cast on or anything like that - so hoping it’s something minor and he’s back soon. If we get him playing bigger minutes, will be huge.
Filip and Rivera have been money from 3 tonight.
Pickett has been a lowkey great get for us. Hustles, plays good defense, and is a solid threat on offense.

Defense has always been key and hope that something has switched this the program/Yak/team. Even the best offenses go through ups and downs but defense and hustle travels.
Let’s get 20 more minutes here.

Whats the story with so many turnovers uiclaflame? Most of first half was pretty good turnover wise but towards end of it - there were just a few sloppyish passes/butter fingers from players. Not nearly as bad as I’ve been used to seeing lol

GW switched to zone on us cuz we came out hot with 3s. And we hit another awesome alley oop between Jones and Okani again like yesterday. Can’t believe I’ve seen us hit on set plays lol - feels crazy to see us calm and execute

Thought you guys might enjoy that the announcers said UIC looks like an NCAA tourney team. Feels early and kinda irresponsible to hear that but will take it. They also said we’re “too good fundamentally” and “all our guys can pass dribble and shoot”. Feels weird to hear us associated with fundamental lol

Also just realized they’re already in the bonus. Don’t like that.
