Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[breadman]

So 17:50 left in the second half and RU has zero timeouts left? What did I miss?

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Didn't The Rev have a D League cup of coffee? I agree, Leron could easily get there.

Rev had a sip of coffee with the Jazz, but yeah, I think a season in NBDL. Lots of summer league and tryouts, but mostly Europe ball.

 

[breadman]

Look at Leron go, will you? Just so nice, finally.

Sorry I should have clarified NBA and D league, but their games seem similar.

 

[Bailey]

The more i see him play (and improve) the more I think Black has an outside shot at the league.

Appreciate all Leron has given this program, but not in today's league.

 

[JSpence]

Rutgers is having one heck of a bad game for already putting a 7 in the steals column.

 

[Bailey]

Rev could defend wings. If Leron has ever shown that it must have been when I decided to blink.

For what it's worth, I think Rev was way ahead of his time. I think he sticks in today's league. He's was like a Draymond lite.

It must be frustrating for Smith to go from the top of the high school game to being a complete disappointment this year. He’ll improve, but damn, he is not what we expected him to be. Thankfully...Frazier.

So great to see these guys playing relaxed and with smiles on their faces.

 

[skyIdub]

Ha! Kipper about to get some Leron! Oops!

 

[Bailey]

Get Mark Smith in there at the under 12 and let him work some stuff out.

If he improves there, and improves his three point shot, his ability to shoot over bigger players could play well for him.

 

[JSpence]

66-29

Okay... Deron should attend more games.

 

[Spoon House]

Can't wait to see the AJ slam in the gif thread.

 

[IlliniNation1010]

These announcers have obviously paid no attention to our team this year. They keep referring to us starting a small lineup tonight. Kipper at the 3 is us going big

 

[skyIdub]

Atta boy Mark Smith!


...and then stupid foul....smh

Would love to see that happen.

I know he's got a lot of work to do, but I think Kipper has an NBA ceiling.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

That was a nice assist.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

And then he makes a dumb foul at the other end of the floor. This kid needs a great sophomore jump.

 

[Deleted member 556108]

That's the athleticism we need to see from AJ! Stuffing it with authority

 

[BananaShampoo]

Damn this is fun. And I agree they need to give Mark all of the minutes he wants for the rest of the game.

yeah just let mark have some fun right now.

 

[Sizzler22]

What a great pass by Mark, needs to focus on the small things

Yeah, just turn him loose and let him play. Take the bad to get to the good.

 

[BananaShampoo]

Fyi, winning is more fun than losing.
