Illini at 90% from field
Game Thread: Illinois vs Chicago State
- Status
Couldn’t bring myself to bet on Illinois at -49 (not sure I’ve ever seen that), so I bet the over at 155. So the question is, can CSU get 30+ points?

Giorgi working hard. We need him to build back some of his confidence.
11-12 from field
Not only has this team added shooting to the rotation, but speed has increased at every position which was the huge jump that was evident in the 05 team. They play and run fast!!!! Doing so without loss of execution which was the Duke advantage for decades.

Double foul...don't see that often
Offense has been sloppy and out of sync the past several possessions.
Shouldn’t have any problems against this poor of an opposition. Stuck on 25 pts for a few minutes now c’mon guys...

Attaboy Trent!!!!!
Williams and Dosunmu are visibly bigger than they were last year.
Illini gone cold to 68% from field due to a horrid 50% from 3...er...that is horrid isn't it? At least it is the worst we have seen from this team for the season.
Efficient at the rim but tbh the offense hasn’t looked very good today IMO. We look sloppy. Relying on some pretty outstanding finishing at the rim to save a few possessions. I want more crisp ball movement, more open shots, less turnovers. This opponent is horrendous so it should be rather easy to find a groove on offense.

Trent with another 3. So happy for him!

Curbelo with the nifty move.
Maybe Trent is realizing he can relax cause the pressure on him to hit shots has been reduced greatly. He does not need to feel like he needs to make them all and the teams success depends on that happening.
Chicago State really slowing down the pace. Lame...why don’t they wanna have fun and lose by 50?

Braid that hair and you'd swear that was Dee! So smooth! Quick too.

Something tells me he won't have too much trouble getting to the rim. Not yet Feliz-level but I'm going on a limb and saying by the end of the year...
I love the depth of this team. I can't remember the last time we had this many players with skill. I understand the competition isn't there, but you can still see skill.

I love the way Curbelo rebounds.
With two potentially huge contributors on IR!!!

I generally agree.
Although he seemed to thrive when the spotlight was on him --- particularly in Hawaii a couple of years ago with Bill Walton as the color guy. Didn't he have like 30 pts against Gonzaga?
Ok I’m getting way to invested in this meaningless game lol. I’m actually upset and mildly disappointed in our first half performance offensively...that’s when you know you need to chill and find something else to do LOL.

A couple of minutes ago, I briefly got a glimpse of the 2005 ball movement. Ayo ultimately got fouled during the possession but the three perimeter guys looked like Dee, Deron and Luther!
