No Adonis De La Rosa today against FAU it looks like. Isn't out warming up and didn't seem to practice yesterday.
Folks are going to see the Samba time they've been begging for. #illini

Was that a charge on Frazier?

 

[WizardBill]

Glad to hear Ayo getting into it early.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Kane and Griffin in the game.

 

[DeeForThr33]

Griffin already with 4 rebounds in about 2 minutes of play

 

[Fulton County Illini]

Obvious why T Underwood should get more tick.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

This is not pretty.

 

[Bailey]

Not looking like a team all that desperate for a win.

 

[Buckets4days]

Only leading a team, that's missing it's leading scorer by 1. Not ideal.

 

[Bailey]

Boy you can drive right past Alan huh?

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Where was the foul?

 

[Buckets4days]

Guys, this is a B- or B type performance.

 

[Bailey]

When's the last time we were dropped by a mid major? It seemed more characteristic of the Weber era, ironically.

 

[bombayIllini]

"getting good looks"

"but, shots are not falling"

Looks like the shots have had really bad practices. While the players had great practices.

 

[geneseo]

Out rebounded 22-15 so far. I just don't get it.

 

[Old Dude]

I watched the first ten minutes of the wrong game before I realized I'd already cussed that one.

Winthrop in Groce's final year.

Groce also graced us with North Florida and Chattanooga.

Lost to New Mexico state last year. Also UNLV last year.

 

[GoIllini23]

Just tuned in....maybe I should tune out...yeesh

 

[Bailey]

this is like performance art

 

[geneseo]

Stats say Griffin has 5 rebounds in 4 minutes of playing time. Better keep him off the floor. Don't want to get too many rebounds.

 

[bombayIllini]

Great D!!

We are making them miss just by looking at their shooter shoot.

 

[Bailey]

Guys are also driving past him like he's standing still.

And for what it's worth...there's a lot of rebounds to go around today.
