Game Thread: Illinois vs Eastern Illinois

[skyIdub]

Lol....everybody in the SFC is drunk....including the players. Check the Gatorade bottles.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Maybe Shannon can make some?

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

New contest: Illinois students get Nuggets if Illinois MAKES 2 consecutive free throws

Chickens of the world are safe…tonight

1/13 on threes.
2/8 FTs.

We deserve to be 1/13 from 3. Just abysmal shot selection. Worse than last season and that's saying something. Not sure what is going on out there, but this can't possibly be the game plan

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Love when Guerrier recognizes to pass up the three to drive for two. Everyone else thinks they have to shoot that three.

 

[jumpingjack]

Amani is so good on his 2nd, 3rd jump

 

[ILLFAN67]

Nope

It's all part of the plan. Give Marquette absolutely nothing real to scout on us PLUS have them feeling overconfident when they play us.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Is Harris injured?

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Who's Hawkins pissed at? Or what about?

He’s always pissed

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Is Harris injured?

He’s a defensive stopper. Other than Hamlin, EIU has nothing to stop.

 

[Orangetool]

Well, this will give coach a lot to talk about at the half.

My guess, we come out really strong.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Nice finish, but ....

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Good end to the half!

 

[Da88]

Hawkins sitting since his sideline issue.

 

[foby]

That's better

 

[Jon]

That's a textbook way to lead by double digits at the half

 

[grantlab]

I guess law of averages, that was bound to fall, but geez is a TSJ 37 footer what we drew up out of timeout?!?

 

[Miles Leonard]

Despite our sluggish start and awful shooting we're up 12 at halftime.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'm glad TSJ made that shot but it was an awful shot. The scary part is that apparently is what Brad drew up out of that timeout, so I have no clue

 

[illini12345]

Lol. Brad about to tear them apart in that lockeroom

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Locker room garbage cans should find a safe space real fast.

 

[Orangetool]

Lol. Brad about to tear them apart in that lockeroom

Yup.

 

[1970 John]

I'm a simple man, I just want us to make free throws, nothing else

If you take care of the FT, we’ll work on the rest.

Not impressed. If the success of this season depends on our ability to make 3's, we will be on a roller coaster ride throughout the season, probably ending in frustration. We drove the ball against Kansas which to me is the way this team needs to play. Go to the basket.
