Fifteen Turnovers.
Ten of those came from the Illini’s two best players, Terrence Shannon Jr. and Coleman Hawkins.
The Illini turned the ball over on 18.5% of their possessions against Marquette on Tuesday night (Synergy Sports). That’s nearly one out of every five possessions that ended in a turnover. For this team to reach its full potential, the sloppy play needs to be cleaned up.
But turnovers weren’t the only issue…
Hawkins is still struggling to get going on the offensive end. He scored 5 points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field (1-of-5 from three).
