Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[spillini]

This is going to be one of my favorite Illini teams

 

[sacraig]

Feels like Fran isn't telling the whole story about TSJ's recruitment. He wasn't an under the radar guy.

Fran is sounding awfully Vitaleish

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Hawk with two perfect entry passes to Dain. Nice high low.

 

[Tbear90]

Illini nation has showed up. They control the whole arena right now, that's amazing.

 

[Rich]

Are we just going to give Fran old man treatment and let him ramble & mispronounce now?

DAIN DANGER lmao

He knows it is ‘Dainja’ not ‘Danger,’ right?

It’s a Champaign night in Sin City!

DANE DANGER

 

[WeWillWhen]

It’s only 12 minutes into the game and I’m sick of Fran.

From Dickie V to Frannie F.

Seems about the only foul calls we're getting are drives through the lane... maybe that's the recipe!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Refs rewarding taking the ball to the hoop. Gotta keep slashing and pick up those fouls.

 

[GallopingGhost]

“Dain Dainjer”

Old guys in high level positions to speak to large parts of the country need to stop being allowed in so many cases.

At least Vitale is excited to be there. This guy sounds like he is ready for a nap.

Fran was calling Shannon, "Dj" first 10 minutes.

No reason for CoHawk to not feel like a gre.at player. He does it all and his court awareness and avoidance of blunders has made leaps and bounds in improvement. Getting his head straight and it is showing in all the little things.

That guard for UCLA looks like Helmet from Spaceballs:

 

[Deep]

There should be no complaining win or lose.............We are GOOD!!!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

UCLA has 22 shots to our 12. - yet we are up. Need to clean up the turnovers and make our free throws.

In his defense he did just call an entire other game

Thats good growth to see from hawk I remember last year it was a nightmare watching him try to get the ball down on the post to kofi

 

[stlrunner]

Will Fran be able to talk about anything other than Dain’s weight loss and TSJ being able to drive with his right hand?
