Game Thread: Illinois vs Hawaii

[pruman91]

just make our FT's and I see a 15-20 point win...hope it was only the layoff but we need fire and brimstone to rain down on opponents at SFC...get that homecourt killer mentality back....rock the hall

There have been a lot. Ayo and Kofi are leading the pack. Kofi has gotten "hot" in the last few minutes from four feet.

Missed a lot Of layups last year as well. And we’re 0-2 on dunks...

Anybody else tired of dancing to this ESPN commercial break music?

All I know is I'm not buying a pillow pad.

Meh, I'm neither impressed nor disappointed with our team tonight. We've made mistakes, but we're on the verge of putting them away with plenty of time on the clock.

Just from looking at the stats... rebounding is impressive, field goal percentage isn't horrible at 44%, but we really need to clean up the turnovers. They might look pretty good if they cut the turnovers in half. Have gone quite a while now without one and built a 12 point lead.

Lotta bad tonight, but lotta good too. Glad to see the team assert itself and put them away. Good 2nd half.
