Arkansas Live Game Update
December 4, 2004 2:08 PM
We'll begin the Arkansas live game update at the start of the 2nd half. What can we say, the stores were jammed. Better late than never!
Hit refresh every 1-2 minutes to see the updates.
Roger Powell ferocious today. 18:31; 42-33 IL.
Fast break dunk by ARK. 42-35. Crowd going nuts. Illini turnover.
When Nick Smith gets his shot swatted, it's a real crowd-pleaser.
45-35 IL; 17:11.
Brewer for ARK. 45-37 IL. Auggie fouled, going to the line. Missed both.
Ferguson great feed to Brewer, strong dunk. 45-39; 16:00. Auggie at the line again! Missed both again! We have a game on our hands folks. Timeout.
Can you say trap game?
Anywho, nice put-back by Auggie. 8 point lead, 15 minutes to go.
Brewer again! 19 points. Another Illinois turnover. Timeout ARK. 14:40; 6 point lead IL.
Powell takes the charge. Nick Smith drains a 17-footer. ARK answers. Illinois turnover (foul!), Brewer at the line, missed both. 13:32; 49-43 IL.
Deron Williams intentionally fouled. Regular foul called. From behind on the break. Ridiculous. 50-43 IL; 13:08.
Nick Smith ill-advised reach-around foul. IL three missed shots on the last possession.
Illinois can break it open right now. NICK SMITH FOR THREE BASELINE. IL up 10.
Sullivan dunks, foul on Smith (4 fouls). 8-point game, and-one coming up. Timeout.
Nine-point game. They're letting them play (foul Illinois and not call it). Sigh... some scoreboard clock is malfunctioning and the officials pause the game. Queue the theme to Jeopardy.
Still waiting on that clock! Tick, tock, tick, tock. Officials huddling.
Bad shot by Luther, no passing. Sullivan offensive rebound, fouled going to the line. 10:01; 53-47 IL.
Deron for 3... nothing is falling! ARK doesn't take advantage. Turnover Illinios. We are really playing bad! Foul on Dee.
9:10; 53-48 IL.
Head for 3. ARK for 3. 5-point game. Dee Brown fouled,
Clean block by Auggie, foul on Auggie (3 fouls). Timeout. This one is going down to the bitter end.
7:49; 57-53 IL. Crowd roaring. Auggie to Powell... And-One! We hit a free-throw! And a great bounce-pass by Auggie. 7-point game.
BREWER DESTROYS THE RIM. Powell misses contested layup. 60-55; 6:18.
Brown bad uncontested bounde-pass to Deron Williams, turnover. Ugh. Razorbacks give it right back.
Airball fade-away 3 by Deron. Crowd loves it. Weber wanted timeout, didn't get it. CHARGE on Brewer, taken by Powell. Whew! Still 5-pt. game.
4:28. Head fouled, going to the line (can we make a free-throw?). Yes. Yes again. 7 point lead. Questionable call on Augustine, 4 fouls. Jack Ingram with the big rebound. Illinois turns it over again. Ingram foul. What a grind.
Head open for 3.... clank. ARK bad shot (thank you!). Illini work the ball. Deron Williams fouled. Timeout. Good things happen when you move the ball!
Deron's gaurding Brewer (20+ pts). 8 point game. Deron hard drive, fouled, at the line. Hits the first. Timeout. 9-pt lead. Game on. 10-pt lead. 66-56; 1:53. Move the ball. Deron's close shot didn't go, but the clock is down to 1:19. Brewer (21 pts) at the line, missed both 66-57 IL; 1:00.
Yet again, we are being delayed by a scoreboard issue. The home arena let 8 seconds run off the clock after the play ended, and they needed 2 minutes to figure out how much time to add on the clock.
67-57; 0:46. Okay! Cut out the fouling the wrap this thing up!
They. Keep. Fouling. Why? End. This. Game.
Final score: 72-60. Thank you for joining us. Filed under: Arkansas Razorbacks, Illini Basketball
