Illinois Basketball: 5 thoughts from the Illini box score against the Madrid All-Stars

It isn’t a game that counts for anything. The Illini are overseas in Spain taking on some talented squads in a series of exhibition games.

The first game was against Madrid. Illinois would come away with the victory, 84-73, and no one but the 122 who were in attendance to got watch the game play out.

There is a box score, though. While a box score doesn’t tell the whole story, it does give Illinois fans a tiny window inside what happened on the court. It also gives me the ability to overanalyze some numbers on a page in an exhibition game.
