More Interesting stats....
Nobody in the nation's six biggest conferences can touch Illinois' 1.7-to-1 team assist-to-turnover ratio. It's amazing that a team that passes the ball with as much daring and creativity as the Illini averages just 10.4 turnovers per game.
Since Illinois takes care of the ball and sports a decent rebounding margin (plus-4.3), it gets more shots than its opponents. And makes more shots. The Illini are connecting on 50 percent of their field goals in league play and 40 percent of their 3-pointers, both best in the Big Ten.
