Game Thread: Illinois vs Eastern Illinois

[jumpingjack]

This team is going to be entertaining as hell to watch develop from here until March/April.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

All freshmen on the floor.

 

[whatahack]

I'm an EIU grad and have been impressed

 

[InDaAZ]

So this freshman class seems pretty darn good, huh.

Harris is everywhere dude

Harris-Rodgers traps are going to create hella turnovers the next few years!

 

[Bigtex]

offense hasn’t looked as good when Rodgers playing.

Hawk, Shannon and Harris have been very good

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I wouldn't mind watching this EIU team against a more even level of competition in the OVC. They have some interesting players.

 

[GForce]

Was that Trent?

Getting serious Trent vibes from Sencire

Harris baby hook?

 

[madillini4]

Harris is a straight up BALLER

 

[FloridaMan]

Harris looks ready to go at both ends of the floor

 

[Idea Gardener]

Skyy is a better rebounder then I realized.

Yeah, Harris feels like a steal right now. A lot of teams are going to be kicking themselves for not recruiting him.

 

[Oranges]

Harris brings such great energy

Shades of Feliz with that young old man game

Mayer is getting toasted on D.

I remember watching an interview of him before the season where he said he wanted to win B1G defensive player of the year. far ways from that so far

I like me some Carlisimo

Oh how I missed game thread time with you guys!

Dainja is somewhat of an enigma. He has offensive skills and size to be an effective back-up center with the capability to star in that role....be he has to hit free throws or he will never get a shot off simply because he is not Kofi and can be completely taken out of the offense and put at the line for a turnover. He has completely too much movement in his FF routine resulting in his eyes never getting set and random lateral motion during his stroke. That will never work with any consistency. But his release is not bad and it can all work if he can cut down the motion.

Did I miss something and "FF" is now a thing?

This has the potential to be the most talented overall class of freshman to play for the Illini since Dee, Deron, and Luther were wearing orange. The future looks to be in good hands.

 

[Idea Gardener]

Harris broke my ankles and I'm just sitting here watching him.

 

[BRucks]

Dainja is going to help us this year.

 

[skyIdub]

I SEE YOU SENCIRE!!!

 

[hiberto]

if everything is about playing well in the tournament Boeheim, why do you only have 1 national title in 46 years at Syracuse?

 

[jumpingjack]

Harris trying to leave a chalk outline on the floor, my goodness!!!

 

[LoveLovie]

Bruh… Harris got up
