Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Retro62]

If you can’t drive it...shoot over them

 

[LostinNebraska]

Ayo setting them up for the first 30 minutes

 

[Illini_Jack]

A lot of our games comes down to we have Ayo and you don't

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Curbelo is a madman.

 

[JSpence]

Ayo heating up

Might be his last hurrah. He's done that before, giving everything a bit early. Coaches need to be aware.

Absolutely cannot afford to lose games like this one...no chance at a B1G title playing like this

I dont think we are playing bad. Maryland is playing lights out. We are taking their best shot. I think if we win this game, it shows we can take the other teams best shot and overcome. That’s the sign of a champion.

Curbelo freshman’ing hard.

 

[Chillinini]

Belo has to fake that three, drive and dish

Kofi has to board against 6-6 6-7 guys.

 

[Retro62]

I keep waiting for the moment when we pull away

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Monte not giving us anything tonight Need hawk to get minutes as we need length

He has 5 rebounds and 5 assists

 

[JSpence]

Feels like that was our run... still down 2. Take good shots, guys.

This looks like it is going down to the wire.

 

[GallopingGhost]

They were not ready for that full court press lol

 

[Chillinini]

Kofi at times tries to double pump and fake too much. Just take it to the hole initially.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Kofi please do not immediately drop the ball to your knees every time you get it under the basket. Thanks.

Agreed. UMD shooting too well to separate. Just hope we win, but I’m not looking forward to the final five minutes.

Should have gone right up. Easy uncontested dunk. He's still learning, which is crazy when you think of his potential.

There are just some teams you seem to suck against...lately it’s been MD

 

[JSpence]

When does Ayo get a breather, though? This has been a grueling game...

 

[SeattleSlim]

Interesting how they can cram over two minutes of commercials into a 30-second timeout.

 

[LostinNebraska]

How the heck was that not a foul on Maryland? You can't just roll the whole court over a guys legs

 

[LoveLovie]

Ayo just got tackled wtf

 

[illiniguy24]

THAT was an NBA move Kofi

 

[azillini1]

Waiting for Williams to drop a couple 3's.
