Game Thread: Illinois vs Marquette

[IlliniInIndy85]

I’d like to have a transition offense like Marquette.

 

[New Creation]

That was a great D possession for us there and by Ty

 

[PopChampaign]

I love this matchup, the energy, blessed to be enjoying it with you guys

 

[grantlab]

Or to have a point guard

I think the issue has more been Coleman and Domask individual defensive efforts vs. lacking a PG. Ty has more than held his ground on that end of the floor

In basketball when the opponent misses two consecutive free throws…

I kinda wish we could've saved the nuggets for late in the game to get the crowd rockin

 

[Ryllini]

That last 4 was a little more settled for us. I think we are ok.

 

[Jimbo]

Ok, i like the effort. We’re definitely not playing EIU.

What if you are not at the game..does it still apply locally...?

You have to text the number they put on the Jumbotron…

9 of 13 shot attempts so far from 3… don’t love that… though some are falling for now

Hawkins hasn't taken a shot yet. He has not been scoring much since the season started

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Chasing, chasing, chasing on D. Look slow.

Ty's doing good on defense considering the matchup. He's definitely increased his quickness in the offseason. He's been keeping up better than Luke and Domask thus far

 

[WWWWRocU]

This team in yellow appears to be pretty gosh darn good. We need to pay attention to details on defense.

 

[Tacomallini]

I liked Shaka Smart more when he played guitar for Rage Against the Machine

Well… he took one. Yuck.

Sorry, was referring to team, not just ty.

Busy night. Got Blues on Bally app on Chromebook, Illini on Fox and Loyalty on my phone.

 

[WeWillWhen]

We’re going to love Domask

 

[madillini4]

Yeah he’s been fine, but a real point guard/facilitator would be really nice. Hawkins is lost out there right now.

 

[azillini1]

Well… he took one. Yuck.

Yes and it was butt awful!

He's lost some weight...it's helping his quickness...

 

[Iamgroot]

Wow, Marquette is good. They're as good as Kansas, for sure.

Truthfully I don't remember Kansas moving the ball like this.i hate to say but it is a beautiful thing to watch

 

[PopChampaign]

Love Shannon’s hustle on defense. Locked in.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Problem is we are struggling to beat Marquette with the pass with movement off the ball and they're playing physical D so we're settling

 

[CentralILLini]

Kolek can ball

Kolek knows how to play basketball.
