The Fighting Illini were back in action on Wednesday afternoon to continue their overseas exhibition tour against the Netherlands National Team. In front of a sold-out crowd at the 'Topsportscentrum', Illinois fell to the Orange Lions by a final score of 81-54. Kendrick Nunn and Maverick Morgan led the way for the Illini with 10 points each.
Illinois' starters were Jaylon Tate, Kendrick Nunn, Malcolm Hill, Leron Black, and Mike Thorne. The beginning of the season is still months away, but we can probably expect a similar look for at least the first few weeks.
Thankfully, the Dutch had a live play-by-play set up online so it was at least possible to get an idea for the general flow of the game.
