Game Thread: Illinois vs Notre Dame

[skyIdub]

The amazing thing about this early struggle bus is we will come out of it a legit 9 deep come March.

Have a feeling we're about to blow this game open

 

[HailtotheChief]

Hawk has committed 25% of the total fouls in this game.

edit: and 100% of the alley oops

One dunk, three turn overs n three fouls. Style points dont mean crap. Get real , let's win

 

[Mr. Roberts]

16 assists on 21 buckets. 3 TO after first four minutes.

More please!

 

[Hopingfor500]

Looks like the effort is much better. Thinking the 15K + is assisting with that. This has to be the energy, every game, regardless of venue.

Some of you have been repeatedly talking about the crowd not being intense, but the announcers keep talking about how hard it is to hear in the building because of crowd noise.

A real game crowd with the Krush at SFC is really giving the whole attitude of this team a lift.

 

[LostinNebraska]

I think there might be a little element of being the 'chaser', not the 'chased' going on with this particular team.
Whatever it is, I'll take it.

Best start to a second half in a long time......put the petal to the metal and bury the golden domers........

 

[illiniguy24]

Curbelo dancing and chest bumping non-stop before games, during timeouts, and all night long. Anyone have an explanation?

He’s happy his team is winning?

4 rebounds!

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Kofi is certainly looking the part of the NOPY tonight. Good gawd!

Real head scratcher. Lol

 

[skyIdub]

Jeremy Fears getting a nice helping of Krush and AH environment tonight!

DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!

 

[LoveLovie]

So with Plummer shooting as much as he does, I’m noticing Illinois is getting the benefit on a lot of long rebounds.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

AP driving opens up the passing game and shooters but he cannot stop the ball on D LOL

 

[Calillini]

Bring this one home, please.

I'm fine with that, but he's dealing with head trauma and recovery...definitely won't help anything with all that jarring of his brain.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Real head scratcher. Lol

I think the question was with regard to Andre's ailment (whatever it may be). Doesn't stop what he is doing tonight. Obviously, playing a game is much more exertion, though.

I mean this in the most positive way possible…but I hope Curbelo sees that this team just needs good ball movement to be at its best on offense. Nobody can do that better than Belo.

Blessing in disguise is that he can observe good ball movement and good outcomes when trusting the teammates.

I think the OP meant…why is he out of the game??

 

[SescIllini]

Kofi with the clean up on aisle 2

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Where’s Coleman Hawkins?

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I think the OP meant…why is he out of the game??

I'm no doctor, but 1. His post concussion symptoms might make him bad at basketball. Nobody cares if he's bad at dancing. And 2. He needs to avoid another blow to the head, which means competitive sports are probably not a great idea.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Gotta lock down on defense here.
