Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee

[ejam21]

I mean, their effort is really, really high. That will tend to net you a lot of 50/50 balls. Early on our effort didn't seem to match, but we've picked it up.

I think they mean the shots where its a brick but bounces in eventually

CBS just shut the game down to cover the Tennessee tornado warning.

I like where we're at. They came out completely on fire and we withstood it. Now we're settling in and starting to wear them out a bit

 

[zentrails]

wasn't that a travel? he jumped and didn't pass or shoot the ball and came back down

clear Up and down I thought

Not if you don't live in Tennessee.

I don't. Halfway between Mt Vernon and Marion.

If this stays close going into the half, I really like our chances.

I have no issue with the open threes when Coleman or Domask are doubled in the post. Thats kind of why they have they have Goode, Domask, Hawk, Harmon and Quincy on that side. I kind of like em when they are wide open looks. Especailly with TSJ on the bench.

Illini must keep defending the 3pt line. They won't hit 43% on the game.

Great game scheduled ahead of Big10 road games! Tennessee home court is no joke!

 

[skyIdub]

Well, if I was a UT fan...I'd be super worried how they've let us stay close. They had a chance to put some distance on their lead and we got tough the last 5 minutes.

Now we need a couple of adjustments on the offense.

3rd generous rim for the men in dreamcicle.

clear Up and down I thought

Ref on the right made the “it was tipped” signal as it happened. Not saying he was right, but that was the call.

I missed most of the first half as I was caring for a lost dog. Under 4 timeout and down by 1. I'll take that all day. The dog is home safe, now we lock in.

End the half strong!!!!! C'mon dawgs!!!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If this stays close going into the half, I really like our chances.

If we can keep going at them forcing them to pick up fouls, Barnes will be forced to make some very tough decisions in the 2nd half

Thank you!

Their defense is really taking away Shannon’s drive ability. Pretty impressed with it

When they don't call fouls he can be stepped.

 

[purcy51]

Goode just got elbowed in the face

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Refs have missed some fouls where we got hit… but then again, we’ve probably fouled them more than three times in 18 minutes. Really letting them play.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Now a big 2nd foul on Aidoo. That's 3 starters with 2 fouls for Tennessee. Need to keep going at them

 

[cjw1901]

Did Goode just take a swing at Jonas Aidoo? Just kidding. But it made Aidoo look over.

 

[skyIdub]

Hey look! We are winning the referee game for a change!!

 

[illinipimp]

Our offensive movement is basically non existent.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a true point guard against really good defenses

 

[FloridaMan]

Too many missed open 3s. Gonna need those to fall in 2nd half.
