Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Spoon House]

Is the shrieker a Senior?

She is, in fact.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Dang Ayo. Make something.

 

[SycIllini]

For some reason I think we pull this one out. But, how does Jones barely see the floor in a game we are losing to Northwestern?

 

[CubsWin]

Get Giorgi the ball!

 

[IdahoIllini]

It’s because they are so contested.

We've got to be the only team that shoots below 50% on layups

 

[Illini_Jack]

Northwestern has missed their last 9 3-pt attempts and we're only up by 1.

NU: Tired legs

Put in Tev and Alan for 5 minutes

 

[IdahoIllini]

Can we count that 3?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Wow, you get a whistle and you get a whistle

 

[thehass]

It's amazing how we make shots when they don't count.

 

[skyIdub]

Imagine, if you will, if at the beginning of this year you would have suggested that we would be totally dependent on an un-ranked, unknown Giorgi to win games.

You would have been laughed out of this joint.

 

[IlliniNation1010]

Where's our pressure? Now is the time we could turn them over. They are gassed!

 

[IdahoIllini]

Trent and Giorgi have 40 of our 54 points.

Ayo disappears too often to be a 1st rounder this year.

 

[TheVille]

FT’s going to be big the last 5 minutes. Will the good ft shooting team show up, or the really smelly awful ft shooting team show up?

 

[skyIdub]

Wow, you get a whistle and you get a whistle

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

I think if we had played a deeper bench, this would've been an easy win.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Ago disappears too often to be a 1st rounder this year.

Even outside of that, his shot needs a ton of work (that release point will never work in the league) and he needs to get much stronger.

Teams will draft bigs on potential because they are harder to find, guards not so much.

 

[TheVille]

Ayo disappears too often to be a 1st rounder this year.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Ayo, but all the one and done talk was way off base. He has a long way to go to be an NBAer.

 

[Deleted member 4723]

AJ! You had one job.

 

[TheVille]

What the heck jordan

 

[JudsonFTS]

Air ball...really?

 

[IdahoIllini]

Yuck.

 

[Spoon House]

We are brutal.
