Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[DeonThomas]

I had to step away for a minute but have we seen RJ? I know the other freshmen have been in.

Underwood is the ultimate "If you practice well, you get minutes" type of coach. Ya gotta bring it in practice or you get no tick.

They're being mentally conditioned.

Well on our way to a 3-0 start to the conference season. Last time that happened was in 2010-11.

Coleman has to go through the contact on his post move

 

[BDMAN]

MONTE!!!!!!

Coleman does a lot of things well. When it comes to scoring the ball, it seems he either makes one move to many or doesn’t make it at the right time/when it’s there. Once he figured that out consistently he will be a high impact player for us

Kentucky also lost

They are up 8 with 14 min left?

 

[BDMAN]

Kentucky also lost

And the hits just keep on coming, yes I want another

 

[Chad Fleck]

They did this same thing to Minny at least the last 2 times.

Nice and relaxing game.

What..... no

 

[madillini4]

My bad about Kentucky, bad intel.

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

Took the Gophers more than 12 minutes to score 10 points in this half. Can't remember the last time the Illini blocked this many shots.

And also had a win at Iowa as part of the start. Though that season, the Iowa win was the first game in the 3-0 start. The other 2 games after that were home wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern. They then proceeded to lose the next game at Penn State by 2 (Penn State did end up going to NCAA tourney that year).

Mich. down 11 with 9.5 to go

 

[Optimo]

Illinois is about to break Minnesota.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Great Recruiting night

 

[hoopsfan47]

Quietest crowd I have ever seen at a B1G game in 65 yrs....2020 exempt.

 

[King Snake]

Coleman has turned down three open threes tonight and just doesn’t look right.

 

[BDMAN]

What is Grandison doing...wow

 

[hoopsfan47]

Kofi's shot is off tonight....10 of 18 is horrible.

 

[bootsy1974]

Not sure why Kofi is still out there but I'll go with it.

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

Did they change the continuation rule in college?? They never used to give continuation and this year they seem to give it everytime. It’s the right move either way.

I'm just about prepared to admit that my Monday prognostication was a little bit off. It does indeed appear the Illini will win this one. (Underwood's pregame presser had me fooled.)

I imagine he did that for the mental benefit for his team and the mental detriment of the opposition.
