Game Thread: Illinois vs Fairleigh Dickinson

[NarrowJ]

LaTulip is going to crush it, won't be surprised to see him become a household name when watching ball.

Go Illini. Familly.

 

[spillini]

How do Amani and DGL bring their games up when they haven't been played? That is a strange take given they are thrown in with CH who has recently been great, but always gotten a ton of tic.

Fighting for minutes in practice

 

[JJE]

Not so bold prediction...with TSJ out, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say whether we like it or not Coleman's gonna be throwing up 3s like he's steph Curry. I say he launches 8 tonight.

 

[PNWIllini]

Marcus has been an alpha before, Quincy has played in just about every arena in America, and Hawkins is a 4 year contributor. I gotta believe these boys are ready to step up. No excuses.

Leadership between Guerrier, Domask and Hawkins should be plenty. Illini vs the world. LFG. #FreeTerrence

When TSJ arrived, I thought Coleman would lead the team...it didn't happen, but now... well now's the time.

OK, then I say he hits at least 3

 

[PopChampaign]

did they really have to say it like that....

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great D by Domask

 

[abchew2]

Domask playing aggressive so far

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

They edited TJ out of the pre-game video… I get it but man.

 

[CentralILLini]

Domask noticeably more aggressive to start.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Quincy is going to be all-conference.

 

[Deep]

Let's go play ball.
We have some dudes on the team.....
We will compete

 

[PopChampaign]

We need TJ on that possession

 

[New Creation]

We don’t look very athletic right now… he really made us look very fast and athletic

 

[illiniguy24]

Mike LaTulip sounds like Kirk Herbstreit

 

[CentralILLini]

Lil guy giving Ty all kinds of problems early on.

 

[WyattEarp]

Domask noticeably more aggressive to start.

Yeah…I like it. (directing traffic a little bit even.)

 

[DeonThomas]

Think this just might be a DGL game. Perhaps a repeat of the season opener for him?

Our (lack of) ballhandling is thus far being exposed.

Took all of his jerseys out of the GameDay store, too
