He’s said it for years: shooters shoot.
And that’s exactly what junior forward Michael Finke did.
The junior’s 20 points and 10 rebounds led the Illinois Fighting Illini to a 96-62 victory over the Division III Augustana Vikings.
Finke’s confidence was very evident in the game, shooting 7-of-11 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond-the-arc.
“Felt pretty good, first half obviously I felt the three ball was working,” Finke said. “Just having confidence, I know the coaches have confidence in me. Second half, started rebounding and that’s what I think got me more in the flow of the game.
