I'll be monitoring their 3 point rate throughout the year. Underwood said their goal was for 42-43% of shots to be from 3. I think 45% seems attainable as of now.

So far- exactly what Brad Underwood preached going into the year. An offense coming entirely from 3's and free's.

The Illini are 358th!!!!!!! in percentage of points coming off of 2 point baskets. Incredible.

The Illini are playing fast- a tempo ranked 64th, but I'd like them to play much faster. Oakland slowed their game down a bit and the Illini allowed them too.

Another trend in recent Brad Underwood coached teams, the Illini are not overly aggressive on defense, with a steal rate of 5.9%, which is ranked 325th.

Opposing teams are only shooting 23% from 3 point range against the Illini, good for 22nd in the country.

They are also only allowing 31% of teams FGA to be from 3, which has been a focus of Brad Underwood's tenure.
