Game Thread: Illinois vs Gonzaga

[Ryllini]

At least Walton knows what Illinois has to offer recruits.

 

[Halloweenie]

Georgi looking impressive early.

 

[DeeForThr33]

that lob ain’t working...Bez is going to be sooo good. gotta hit our outside shots if we want to have a chance. so far, not too bad!

 

[Sizzler22]

Giorgi is going to be very very good. Trent needs to settle a little bit, shots will fall

 

[Steelyunk]

Team seems tight early. Except Giorgi who is really an incredibly pleasant surprise.

 

[dbeaverfg]

Poor Jason Benetti, having to put up with Walton all night.

Can only listen, but both sides sound out of control so far. Can anyone confirm?

 

[JamesB]

I lasted 2minutes with Walton. I can take no more. To wdws i go.

 

[westvilleillini]

Are we the only past champions not featured on the mural?

 

[FiveStar]

Is 5 seconds closely guarded not a call in ncaa basketball anymore?

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Kip with 2 fouls....

 

[Spoon House]

Barnhart or bust, you scrubs.

 

[FiveStar]

Giorgi. Goodness.

 

[GortTheRobot]

I don’t even know what to say about Giorgi...wow!

 

[Spoon House]

Heat check Giorgi.

 

[the national]

The pace is helping us stay in this. Gonzaga doesn’t seem to want to grind it out. If they did, they would win easily.

 

[Ryllini]

Who is going to hit some shots?

 

[KrushCow31]

Can't buy a jumpshot right now. Thank goodness for Giorgi.

They got rid of it when they changed to 30 second shot clock.

 

[RickBB]

We can't hit a shot and we are down 1. I'll take it.

 

[skyIdub]

Giorgi man crush in full effect.

 

[Bailey]

Maui has the softest rims in the world. Let it fly Trent.

 

[Spoon House]

I'd like somebody who isn't Giorgi show some life. And De la Rosa steps up.

EDIT: Dosunmu needs to fight the urge to do too much. Alternatively, the towel boys need to clean the lane better.

 

[Dayman]

Bill Walton is high. Jabbering and wearing sunglasses. So condescending to the other announcer too. He should be fired now

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

Frazier and Ayo are trying to force to much
