Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Hopingfor500]

Besides not shooting well we also don't get to the free throw line either except Kofi.

Byproduct of shooting 20+ threes.

I may have missed it above. What's the current count of Underwood's on-camera close-ups vs. Izzo's on-camera close-ups?

 

[Ignatius Shang]

They didn’t do it just a couple possessions before when BBV got smacked across the face

Yeah. And that one should be a flagrant.

 

[azillini1]

How about giving Goode a shot and see if he can break the 0 for 13 3 point shooting by everyone other than Grandy. Just horrible outside shooting again. Maybe let RJ get another shot. Someone needs to hit something from the outside besides Grandy

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Reminds me of god I can’t remember the year, Myke Henry’s freshman year. They shot a free throw or scored in every possession the last fifteen minutes here.

Except we aren’t. Tom Izzo effect.

Just got to keep pace. Whistles are gonna come at us so need to keep our emotions in check, play smart, set up good shots, and no dumb turnovers.

I like the way this game is going. Everything’s not perfect but we are mentally locked in.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

We need a Monte out of bounds spike to get the momentum back

Edit: or more Grandi

 

[Zorak]

How do you leave Jake open for 3 today

 

[hooraybeer]

pains me to see curbelo struggling like he is, can’t imagine how frustrated he must feel.

 

[SouthFarmLlama]

Grandson won this. He's back.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Grandi saving our a$$

 

[Illini8420]

Grandison has redeemed himself

 

[SuperMetroid]

Jake has decided he’s not in a slump anymore

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Save some for March, Jake.

 

[illinifreak30]

They’re getting so many 2nd chances

 

[Zorak]

Kofi needs to stop worrying about these out of bounds calls

 

[Redbull]

How any high level recruit would ever want to play for cry baby Izzo I will never understand.

Maybe number of trips to final four has something to do with it

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Jake and Kofi have 44 of our 57

 

[sully]

Grandison literally reminds me of that former Seattle Supersonics player named Sam Perkins (aka Big Smooth)

WE ARE ALL WITNESSES

(and as I type this post, Kofi just had a successful And1) loving this!
GO ILLINI!

"Underwood upset, trying to talk to the ref...he would talk to him but he's always busy talking to Izzo." - Barnhart

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

What’s our school record for threes in a game? There’s 10 minutes left!

 

[DeonThomas]

Under 10 minutes left in the game --- and up 15 pts. i'm content.

 

[altgeld88]

Into the bonus @10 mins Nice

 

[HailtotheChief]

Like RJ in right now over Plummer for D n potential still to score... focus on feeding Kofi
