Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[grantlab]

Wow. Talk about getting lucky there. Could have been a 7 point game with Breslin going nuts.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Got lucky those last 2 possessions. Let’s close it out

 

[bjp84]

No more open looks for Houser. He’s a great shooter and they have to make 3’s to have a chance.

 

[Zorak]

Plummer stares at loose balls.

He hit the floor for one literally today.

 

[PapaKvells]

Isn’t contact to the head a flagrant even if inadvertent?

 

[blife]

Can we please learn to put guys away when we have them down

 

[HailtotheChief]

Double bonus with sux minutes left. Love it

 

[IlliniForceOne]

This is going to end with Jay Williams ripping off his headset and making passionate love to Tom Izzo on top of the scorers table as the final horn sounds.

 

[Hof]

This going to be a very long 630

 

[InDaAZ]

Next up on the Izzo TV Network: More conniptions!

He was on the floor for one literally today.

Did you not see the last play?

 

[sully]

Curbelo on the board with an impressive floater. More of that please!
GO ILLINI!

Again, it's not about learning. It's about making shots and free throws, things that these guys have been doing since they were 5. Step up, make the free throws and make the open shots. There's no learning curve here.

 

[Ghost77]

Need smart Belo right now, don’t force it, let the game come to you

POTD

 

[Hof]

Kofi has got to stop bringing the ball to his waist and lower

 

[blife]

Please go over the top of screens

 

[Zorak]

Playing Michigan State is always infuriating.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

We need one more bucket and a stop. Feed Kofi.

 

[InDaAZ]

If I’m Belo’s NIL advisor… Shampoo ads!

 

[DB11Headband]

Coleman-in
DMW-out

Playing Michigan State is always infuriating.

It’s not basketball. Izzo plays football. It’s a travesty the big ten let’s it happen.

 

[BWBW]

Needs conditioner.

 

[D1959]

We just can’t seem to put our foot on their throat

Hilarious to me that Williams keeps saying “that long 2 point jump shot has been open all day” as if that’s not exactly what our ball screen defense is designed to force teams into taking
