Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Chase3]

Why do we insist on throwing up threes as our fast break finishes? It's almost a guaranteed layup or foul if you take it in the lane...cmon JCL!

Why am I still watching something so unwatchable?

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Haha none yet but it was an honest question. I saw the pregame stats for Kansas State and Kansas and I remembered that Kansas State was a bubble team last year despite having 14 or 15 losses. They beat some good teams but lost a lot of awful games. So it made me wonder whether or not it's still possible for us or if we were mathematically eliminated already.

Last year K-state was 15-17. They weren't even close to the bubble.

Maybe I was a little off with the win and losses but ESPN gave an interesting story about why they were still being looked at despite their terrible losses.

58-51 bad guys 11:00 to play

1st team foul for Rutgers

I know it is not happening but say we win out the rest of the season without winning the tournament championship (make the final but lose) is there any shot we make the dance? Just trying run every possible situation through my head.

If the football team goes undefeated next year, would we extend Cubit?

If we win out, the question will be "why did so many Big Ten teams choose to not show up for their games against Illinois"

If we could rebound, we'd be dangerous

 

[illini8507]

By all means, keep chucking 3s

 

[CARPET]

Nunn 1-7 from 3 point

[BDoug]

Need more from our stars. KN and MH are a combined 5-20. ouch.

 

[Ramrod2010]

If we could rebound, we'd be dangerous

If we could basketball, we'd be dangerous.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Finally, a dish to Mav.

 

[Chase3]

Dunk it Mav!

 

[hooraybeer]

[CARPET]

give it to morgan

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

If we could basketball, we'd be dangerous.

If I could pick the right lottery numbers I'd be rich!!

I find it funny how last year Morgan could do no good and now we beg for him to get touches.

[CARPET]

bam 2 points feed the big guy

 

[Branson53]

Who would have ever thought the commentator would be saying we need to run our offense inside out through Maverick Morgan...
