Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Deleted member 649710]

Really, really smart play by Alstork to drive the lane when the next foul draws the double bonus. His outside shot is (cringe) but I am liking everything else he brings to the game.

This is the part of a close game where the Groce-coached teams would start peeing down their legs. Let's see if they're over that.

Illini playing hard which is awesome to see but someone needs to tell Finke to switch to verizon instead of Sprint because he is out there buffering

Between this one and the the gps signal one I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time

Does Alstork's FT shot have the same spin as his 3pt shot? His FT shot has always looked good.

Same spin. Different arc. He has arc on his foul shot, 3 point shot is flat. There’s hardly any room for the ball to go through the net.

Should be 2 foul shots going forward, I believe.

We cannot get a lead larger than 4-5 pts

Yeah and that scares me. This game just keeps feeling like it is going to slip away

Good! Let's see them muscle out a close one. Who's going to be "the guy"? We're going to see a lot unfold this season.

We need to keep drawing fouls.

Every time we double team we leave a good shooter with a wide open 3

Everyone on the end of the NW bench is so punchable.

Hold me.

Please stop giving up threes

Good stuff

 

[Illwinsagain]

I just hope the rest of the game is called right.

Hitting some contested 3s keeping them in it

It's the "Duke" factor that Collins brings

Not a good feeling about this one...they have too much experience. Just a feeling...Illini have played hard an somewhat well.
