Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

Timely Time out.

I think Brad wanted Kofi back in the game ASAP more than anything

 

[Chad Fleck]

Still not a good shooting game (from 3) but limited the turnovers, holding our own on the glass, and good defense have led to a comfy lead. I'll take this effort on the road any day.

Yep. This.

Things are perfect. But they are up by 10 on the road against a ranked team in a environment.

I've enjoyed the game. In the end, that's why I watch.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

All that guy does is shoot 3s and we keep leaving him open

Not sure what exactly Omar was doing on that switch.

 

[azillini1]

yep Plummer gets hot and we win easily

Or Trent

 

[InDaAZ]

Every time MSU cuts the lead to sub-10, we answer. Let’s keep that up!

 

[pruman91]

we gotta play smart and work it down low to Kofi or ball screen for Jake............please make our FT's.....PLEASE

Would it be too much to ask to put the nail in the coffin and finish strong in a game this year? Let’s not make it a nail biter.

I hate missing the front end of 1 & 1’s. Always seems to be a big momentum swing more often than not.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

I feel like we miss more front ends than anyone in the nation. Always untimely.

Smart foul by MSU

It's basically a turnover.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Call the foul

 

[HailtotheChief]

Plain and simple, let's feed Kofi everytime and play through him.
I wish Plummer was out. We need a stops

 

[PapaKvells]

Hawkins has all the talent in the world. He just has to bring it consistently.

He had my two favorite plays of the game. The off rebound assist to Frazier and the block.

 

[DeonThomas]

Or Trent

I'd prefer mostly Kofi layups/dunks and drives by our guards into the paint from here on out.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Grandi doing it all (even if it was a terrible call)

 

[Zorak]

Game ball to Jake, zero doubt

 

[Chad Fleck]

Wow, MSU is going small. Hauser is the big.

 

[FloridaMan]

Can't determine who is more butt hurt over this game to this point - Izzo or Jay Williams?

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Make these free throws Trent.

 

[Illini_Jack]

We need to make our free throws

 

[RML]

Let's get a couple more points

 

[mydosburns]

Plummer stares at loose balls.

 

[Zorak]

The MSU crowd feels their players should be allowed to hit Trent in the face, apparently

 

[BTYBILL]

Was that no over the back
