Just watching the game again. At halftime, I was listening to Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis. Davis is very much on top of things in his analysis of the game.
Some of his points:
Raymond Felton had no rythm early in the game. Sitting him down with 2 fouls actually helped him get into the flow of the game, as he came back onto the floor, shooting more smoothly and handling the ball more confidently.
He pointed out that Illinois took too many 3 pointers in the first half, shooting 19. Of course we know that they continued to shoot threes, taking 40 in the game and became a one dimensional team.
Finally, he said that Illinois needed to take the ball into the paint if they had any chance of winning the game. We know that they didn't.
Couple that with his correct analysis of the MSU game on Saturday and Kellogg's total whiff with his thoughts on the second half, and it's plain to see. Davis makes Kellogg look like he should be selling Corn Flakes.
