Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[Oranges]

Kofi’s post passing is great to see

 

[azillini1]

Spacing is much better the last 3 to 4 minutes, Kofi passing out of the doubles, TO's limited, and shots falling!

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Hawkins showing some defensive pride vs Harper Jr. Love to see it

 

[Pikeillinifan]

It is really odd to see us this year still rebounding well but not getting to the ft line. I guess it’s due to all the threes we’re putting up.

I hope we get AC back for Iowa so he can get his legs under him before Arizona. Not to mention that we need him in the lineup.

Hawkins wants to play at the next level.

He has a lot of the Isaiah Roby skill set, but I don't think he's quite that level of explosive. We'll see. He has a chance.

This last 3-4 minute stretch is beautiful....great passing to get the best shot..............Kofi is doing what he needs to do to progress to next level.......

Love me some illini BB

19-4 run

Kofi passing out of the double/triple team makes this team so much more dangerous. Look out.

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Ken]

What a huge difference actually playing real size at the PF spot next to Kofi makes

 

[oldman]

Chamberlain used to focus on different aspects of his game, eg assists, rebounding, just to show his capability. I think Kofi has decided he wants to show folks he can pass out of the post.

Grandi feeling randi tonight!!!

 

[mydosburns]

Can we shoot like this from now on please?

 

[LostinNebraska]

This is turning into a massacre - more please.

 

[FloridaMan]

Like to see a little RJ here before half.

 

[LostinNebraska]

I'll take the heat check 3s, shooters gotta shoot

 

[skyIdub]

Omar Payne just blocked his way into our hearts forever!!

 

[FloridaMan]

Father Mulkahey LOL

 

[ChiefGritty]

Lol Mulcahy isn't having a nice time out there

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Payne just earned his scholarship rejecting Mulcahy.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Hand checking Frazier 30 feet from the basket is an...Interesting defensive strategy.

#2 on Rutgers is being a dork.

 

[Orangetool]

Love how Kofi walked in and Rutgers calmed down.

 

[SuperMetroid]

This Miller dude needs to chill tf out

 

[Stevegarbs]

Major dcik move by Miller.

 

[King Snake]

Man, this team can shoot it. It’s crazy how putrid our offense has been this season with this type of shooting. I think they just needed some confidence, Plummer and Grandison, wow.

 

[FloridaMan]

Tech better be coming up for Rutgers after the break.
