Grandison hasn't seen the ball go through today. 0-7. Man.

 

[Illini8420]

RJ has earned a starting spot. I’m serious.

 

[JSpence]

Be AWARE and try to draw fouls.

 

[FloridaMan]

No foul on that Trent shot? Right in front of the ref too

 

[sdfidaho]

I’m all for this, but only if we can block those who can’t say something good about RJ without trashing another player in the same post.

 

[CV Illini]

Thank you RJ

 

[illini80]

[Illini_Jack]

Thank god RJ can make free throws

 

[altgeld88]

It's nice to have depth, particularly when it's so young.

I don't know if our older players are out of gas physically and mentally? The last two games in the second half, we have hit a brick wall with our play. And it makes no sense to me I can't figure it out? how do you go five of six from the three as a player and nine of 13 team. To not hitn water from a boat wow! they have played a tremendous amount of minutes this season.

I would reward him with one next game.

 

[altgeld88]

How in the name of all that is pure and good is this a one-possession game?!

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I sure didn’t expect Plummer to miss two. Good lord.

 

[JSpence]

Please make some FTs

At least we got Plummer to the li-. Oh.
