Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

That's not a charge on Dre. It's a great take and defender lost his balance.

Go small go zone and tell Giorgi to take a shower

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

It hasn't been for the last 6 or 7 games

Yeah, but he's gotta come out of his funk at some point right? We need him to step up at this point in the season.

 

[HTime]

At least the timeouts are full screen

 

[CasualObserver05]

Man, GB is almost unplayable right now. Hopefully Tev gets some minutes tonight.

Almost painful to watch him right now. We could afford to go smaller this game with Tev.

 

[SLCNDCE]

Last year went to Giorgis head

 

[Hopingfor500]

Giorgi's head is not in the right place right now.

I think GB is an absolutely amazing kid. Fun, happy, a great teammate.....he's just an average talent however. It really, really shows up in this high profile games. He doesn't look like he belongs and you can see it's killing BU. They need him.

Maybe he needs to practice pregame more than dancing for the camera (as referenced by the announcers).

Giorgi is even in a rebounding slump

 

[Yossarian]

Giorgi's % on post-ups for the season has to be abysmal. I'm sure they've tried, but they need to present passing as an option in those situations. 3 dribbles and a hook is about as good as throwing the ball out of bounds.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Dribble penetration - pass - basket - twice in a row - good look.

 

[Yossarian]

He can be taught!

 

[skyIdub]

So apparently Ayo's ligaments are Stretch Armstrong ligaments. No noticeable limitations.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Surprised Ayo isn’t wearing any kind of brace. But seems to be moving very well.

 

[grantlab]

As poor as GB has played, that wall-off on Watkins that let Ayo get to the hoop was textbook.

 

[skyIdub]

Love em' pumping Giorgi up. Need those fancy feet!

 

[STLIlliniMike]

If we can keep Kofi in the game we got a real good shot of stealing this one.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

thinking of switching to the radio feed at half - kind of sick of hearing chambers whine

 

[CasualObserver05]

Ayos been absolutely HUGE so far. He's come up with the couple of scores during our slump stretches.

 

[azillini1]

Refs not calling many fouls and letting them play. I believe PSU has only 2 FT attempts so far.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Not quite sure what I have done all these years without the audio meter on the screen
Boy that Fox Sports is really an innovator, definitely ahead of the pack.

Was just going to post that. Liked how BU was telling him he’s got the best feet in the country. Use your footwork on offense.

 

[azillini1]

Yeah GB

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

GB still battling. Good to see one go in.

 

[skyIdub]

So I've heard "VEGAS, VEGAS!", and "LA, LA!"

I'm curious what other city plays we have?
