Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

[TCTORNADO]

How does this event make money

Front for drug money.

Because he plays behind a preseason Naismith award watch list player? Because AJ out plays him in practice?

There's only going to be 5-8 minutes of pt available at the 3 behind Malcolm

DJ should play over AJ. DJ could be a great addition to this team. Groce gives him no chance. Not many players on the team have as much potential as DJ. Hill can play the 2 or 4 as well. I'd be gone mid season if I was DJ.

Starting 5 and how subs should be.

Tejon / Tate max 10 min a game
JCL/ Abrams
Hill / DJ / AJ
Black / DJ / Finke
Thorne/ Morgan

Master. Hahahaha

Wish groce would use black and finke together. Especially when Morgan is playing soft.

 

[ChiefIllini]

Clean up the fouls and we'll be fine...

 

[schnaurt]

4 guys on that ball.

Players earn those chances in practice.

Concerning. I think he needs some (most?) of the minutes that Jordan gets off the bench. You can't use the "upside" argument for playing TJL and not apply that to DJW, whose upside is WAY higher.

This guy gets it

Mav did not foul

Front for drug money.

My second guess. Like Pablo buying players for his small club team

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Not a good momentum swing here.

 

[zoggle101]

Tillman over playing Leron. Easy pass to the hoop. Getting ugly

 

[schnaurt]

35-28 16:49. Our ball

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Would like to see us draw some fouls here early in half

 

[zoggle101]

Where's th foul? Yeah, over the back on Tillman

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Tate got lucky there. Shouldn't have picked up his dribble.

 

[schnaurt]

35-30

 

[Captain Bubbles]

VCU coming back...Illinois needs to make stops and do what they were doing earlier in the first half. Problem is, Black and Thorne have 3 fouls.

 

[IlliniFan12]

Terrible lineup during that stretch.

 

[westcoastillini]

Thank you for waiting that long coach

 

[ChiefIllini]

What an awful few possessions... Do we not understand how to play against a guy whos taller than us?

 

[MadSeason]

Just not sure what Finke provides at this point

 

[Sizzler22]

Really really bad sub patterns.

 

[zoggle101]

Tate looked disinterested on D after getting blocked. We might not see him the rest of the game. You have to care to be on the court.
