Illinois Basketball: 5 observations from the Illini loss to Missouri

Illinois now moves to 4-8 but this could have been a win. Players aren’t stepping up and helping Trent Frazier. He is the main source of scoring, but he doesn’t have much in the way of help. This needs to change. The Illini were close in this game at one time, though.

The Illini actually jumped out to a quick lead. We were up 12-4 four minutes into the game. Things were looking good for the Orange and Blue. But, of course, Missouri woke up. The Tigers ended up tying the game at 15-15 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.
