CAROLINA AND ILLINOIS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

[KLin]

wow, UNC forces the shot clock violation. Illinois just isn't playing like they have this season.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Illinois has some great players but UNC is better balanced, doesn't have to have the threes to win.

One other note - way too many Coach K ads in the tourney.

That is what is going to either make or break Illinois.

Its going to break ILL. UNC got Jordon rooting for them!

How can you be so sure? They start hitting threes and they'll be up by a great amount. Illinois is out-shooting UNC in both FG's and Three's.

They aren't looking good as right now. They cant penetrate and too many passing around.

Are you stupid or what? Illinois is known for their quick passing. They are a perimeter shooting team.

HALF - UNC +13

 

[KLin]

UNC - 55.2% shooting
Illinois - 28.6% shooting

UNC - 50% 3pt shooting
Illinois - 26.3% shooting

You definitely don't win games by shooting that poorly. Illinois took too many bad shots in the first half.

Here is what is going to happen.

1. Illinois comes back at the beginning of the second half, meaning a much closer game
2. UNC runs away

OMG! That team can pass the rock around! That's some of the nicest passing I've seen. When UNC tries that we end up passing it to fans sitting on the front row. That being said, they also need to shoot the ball

Illinois took 7 more FGs, 2 more FTs and 8 more 3's. They just need to start sinking some baskets.

Very unsure of themselves for some reason.

Certainly not looking good against UNC.

Illinois always struggles to score when the opponent goes to zone. They were running neck and neck against NC man to man, which is typical as well for them to break down man to man.

They usually try for good outside shots against zones, and it slows them down. They can drive, they just don't, but if they are going to win they will have to.

If they can also take good shots and keep NC from too many fast breaks they can get back in the game.
