Phinisee struggled coming back from his concussion, but man when healthy he's been impressive for a freshman.

So happy for the guys! Gotta finish strong!!

Great first half, but feels like we should be up much more. Aaron Jordan decided to be Steph Curry and the whistle was non-existent on our end. Just keep this up and we have it

[HoosierAloha]

If not for a foul on 50% of their possessions were dominating this game. Instead, we’re only up 10. I’ll take it but not happy with discrepancy in fouls. It’d be nice if we had freedom of movement, like we’re supposed to have, on offense.

This is amazing, gotta be the best offensive half of the season right?

But gave UP 42, , Illny shooting 54%, not the best defensive half.  Needed that offense.  Take a 10 point halftime lead on the road anytime.

Pretty solid half by both teams, IMO.

Not too impressed with the sudden flood of whistles at the defensive end, but that's just B10 officiating (consistently inconsistent).

[rcbowla]

2 teams known for defense combine for 94 pts in the 1st half.....go figure

Really complaining about officiating when IU just had its best half of the season. I’ll take this type of half all the time

[hoosierpap]

Man, it sure is fun when they play like that. Rob out there controlling the game. Just getting great looks with a combo of good offense and bad Illinois defense. You're not losing shooting 58% from the field

Indiana scored 1.58 points per possession in that half. Season high for a game is 1.29 vs Chicago State.

why is jim jackson in the studio while we're stuck with bardo on the call?

...disagree tbh

[Alford Bailey]

52 points in a half? Balanced scoring attack.

Fantastic question. Why can't we have JJ and Gus?

I'd like to see the defense tighten up this half.  We gave up some pretty good looks from deep in the first half.

[cappymo14]

Need to put them down right away. Make them quit. I’m telling you, Illinois will start chucking if you come out strong. No way they keep up that pace from deep. They have absolutely nothing for JUMO and DD. I suggest breaking them there.

Hey I would allow 42 points in the second half as long as IU scores another 52 points next half

[theriverpilot]

Love to see the same offensive intensity in the 2nd half but lock down on D more
