Keeps Illini within reach
FIllinois
January 21, 2025
Riley finished with 19 points (7-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 80-78 loss to Michigan State.
ANALYSIS
Riley started two games for the Illini while Kasparas Jakucionis was sidelined by a forearm injury, logging seven points apiece in those outings. Jakucionis has since returned, though he was limited to just nine minutes in the contest due to foul trouble, paving the way for Riley to match his second-best scoring total of the year. Riley continues to have a quality freshman season, averaging 11.0 ppg in a sixth-man role, but his ceiling for the rest of the 2024-25 season is limited if Jakucionis is healthy, which is presumed to be the case moving forward.
