Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[Steelyunk]

Jesus. They GRUDGINGLY call that on Damontes drive.

We are about 1 hour or less from the birth of our 2nd child.

An amazing Zero birth day gift would be a win against IU!

Congratulations! Best wishes for a healthy baby and uneventful delivery. I watched our Illini beat Northwestern at the hospital with our daughter while she was in labor. We can’t be at the game because our first grandson is coming home today!

It's been a long time since DMW drove to the basket like today.

 

[azillini1]

IU sure driving into the lane

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Haha. Always enjoy those who feel the need to reply to something like this.

No sense complaining about legitimate fouls. Refs can be blamed for perhaps ~.5% of all losses.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Our defense today is not good

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Kofi really needs some finesse on his game. Not a great sequence for him.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

The boys better wake up on the defensive end, pick up the intensity to match IU

 

[illiniguy24]

Not a fan of how this half is going. Not showing enough focus and catching some bad breaks. Feels like we should be winning but could be down 10.

 

[Illini_Jack]

I haven't seen a team get inside on us like this all year. We got to lock this defense down.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Feliz banks it off the shot clock.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Feliz!!

Seems about right to be tied after what we've seen so far.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Degree of difficulty on Feliz layup was approximately a 100

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Am I hearing someone's nose sniffling on this broadcast?

 

[HTime]

Feliz banks it off the shot clock.

Hit the white on the top of the backboard

Agree

 

[3DegreeIllini]

I don’t even have much to complain about specifically. They just seem to be outplaying us.
Should be an easy fix.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Tied. And no closer to figuring out a winner than 20 minutes ago

 

[chiefini]

Glad to see Damonte okay back in there. Two fouls on Illini: Giorgi & Ayo..Tied at half 36-36.

 

[LostinNebraska]

I imagine AF is the HORSE champ on this squad

 

[Hopingfor500]

We really need Trent to get going.

Yes. He's been MIA all year. Offensively, he's really not a threat.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

IU's on pace to break 70 points. Not how we win games.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Need to turn up the defensive intensity in the second half. Indiana's not supposed a good outside shooting team so not sure why we're not forcing them out.

 

[Illinidpm]

Kofi really needs some finesse on his game. Not a great sequence for him.

He was dunking everything at northwestern and now he goes back to being soft at the rim.

 

[Illinilegends1]

Trent Fraizer is becoming useless as a scoring threat.

We really need him to be better
