Player of the Game: Mike Thorne Jr.
The Illini big man had plenty of competition from his teammates considering Illinois’ offensive balance, but the fact he didn’t miss a shot in six tries put him over the top.
Backcourt: Illini C+, Flyers B
Jalen Coleman-Lands had more three-point success after just hitting once in the first exhibition. He was 3 of 8 from deep and led with 16 points, but the backcourt was where the bulk of Illinois’ turnovers originated.
Frontcourt: Illini A, Flyers F
This was very nearly an A-plus.
