Okay. Rutgers got creamed. Let’s get to it.
Four Thoughts.
Illinois is Very Good: Make no mistake, Illinois is a good team. They are a number 1 seed and they played like it from the tip. They are better than Rutgers is right now, and they showed it. Rutgers didn’t have anyone to match up with Ayo Dosunmu or Kofi Cockburn. They came out, punched Rutgers in the face and Rutgers weren’t able to get their defense and offense in a flow. It’s tough. The Fighting Illini won this game.
The Refs Didn’t Help: Listen, Rutgers fouled tonight.
