Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[Pikeillinifan]

We should be down by 30, just hang in and hit some shots and we can win this.

 

[King Snake]

Keep Payne in at this rate

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Up to three baskets. In 12+ minutes.

 

[CV Illini]

Nightmare

 

[BDMAN]

This team has not played well for the past 6 weeks or so. What has happened is what I was afraid of but totally expected.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Best looking drive so far. Here we go. Let's go!

 

[CentralILLini]

Mocs arent even playing that well

 

[skyIdub]

Payne will save us all.

























Said no one ever.

 

[Illini8420]

Keep pounding them inside!!!!

 

[Calvin]

Kofi should get an assist for Payne's bucket --he's put 3 of their bigs on the bench to open it up

 

[illiram11]

Does Chattanooga have a nun on the sideline holding us back?

 

[IlliniTaffy]

We're fine, shots will fall

 

[LoveLovie]

We should be down 20. Keep hanging in there guys

 

[plooger]

Not sure how the refs don’t call an intentional foul on that last one on Kodi. Smaller player just grabbed his arm to keep him from scoring.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Need to keep this under 10 at the half and hope that our shooting improves going in the other direction. I mean, it can't get worse, can it?

FG 23.1%
3PT 0.0%
FT 40.0%

P.S. Getting out rebounded 15-13 at the moment.

 

[Btpk138]

If we could only get our guards to make a basket!

 

[Hopingfor500]

Literally grabbing Kofi's arms and no foul called until the shot.

Does it matter? He can't make a free throw. Fouling him is a good thing for Chattanooga.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Payne will save us all.

























Said no one ever.

He did save us against Nebraska.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Mocs arent even playing that well

They really aren't. If they were making their open shots we could easily be down 15-20.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Foul out their whole team and we’re good

 

[Da88]

At least they have gone a little cold or this would be over.

 

[RML]

IF we survive this game, I think we're going to be very dialed in for the next one.

 

[illiniguy24]

Mocs arent even playing that well

Yeah if they start hitting shots we are really looking at a bad situation

 

[spillini]

Reggie miller just needs to STFU

Evergreen statement

 

[Keisersose]

Defensive rebounding is biggest concern. They are gonna run out guys. As long as Kofi isn’t given a concussion or something we win
