Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[2qtslow]

No sign of AC on the bench tonight? I knew he wasn't playing, but he was on the bench against ND,

 

[illinipimp]

Didn’t see this in the forecast !

 

[pruman91]

Half way there with 2 so far.

and he has about 3-4 hockey helper's

damn...skyidub beat me to it ...............

 

[illiniguy24]

Has Mulcahy made a shot tonight?

2-9 from the field including a missed layup and a couple shots sent back to Jersey

 

[FromTheLogo]

I think the boys didn't like being unranked!

 

[Miles Leonard]

Love our crowd giving it to Mulcahy every time he has the ball. It seems to be affecting him as he's just throwing up prayers.

Yep. Concerning for sure.

He’s there. First to high-five Plummer after that layup.

This is huge for our season, his inability to pass out of double/triple teams last year was exposed a couple times but none worse then the Loyola game imo.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

AC is on the bench.

I was too late!

 

[FloridaMan]

Yep. Concerning for sure.

Oops. There he is!

 

[LostinNebraska]

Alright..I'll misdirect....


Trent, Plummer, Grandy......best shooting backcourt in Illini history.....

Plummer starting to skew my opinion on this. The dude has been in the stratosphere with his 3 ball this year. What's amazing to me is this demolition is taking place without our starting PG.

 

[FloridaMan]

Yep, hadn't even thought about Bo all night. He knew it.

 

[LostinNebraska]

CoHawk is Dimitri Krupalija with a jumper

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

It’s a 30 point game, Bo … you can’t hurt us!

 

[DeonThomas]

Likely a return to the Top 20 next week......

 

[LostinNebraska]

CoHawk is Dimitri Krupalija with a jumper

Edit - Damir... Sorry, bud, I'm old.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

It’s so great to see how much better the guys look since that Cincy game.

 

[azillini1]

Only 3 TO's in last 25 minutes.... huge improvement tonight

 

[DICKnaggie]

That inside out was exactly what could make us dangerous. Kudos to Kofi and Jake. It didn't pan out but it will.

 

[spillini]

Has Mulcahy made a shot tonight?

Payne let him know that’s not an option tonight

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Oops. There he is!

I think his lack of bright colors tonight kept him camouflaged.

 

[Epsilon]

I love seeing Kofi pass back out. That is so huge. This is going to help our guys get open looks at treys all season.

NVM, one of my favorites of all time but daaaaamn, CoHawk is different.

The offensive flow of this game is just fantastic. It's touching every position, it's creating shots, lobs, post ups, dribble drives.......a coaches dream.
