Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[purcy51]

I didn't at first but, I like the "nuggets" chant

 

[DeeIL89]

Like how we are getting ot the free throw line.

 

[FoundersClub]

So easy to forget that KJ is a freshman.

 

[IlliniKat91]

Am I the only one who worries that we pick up our dribble too early at the top of the key at times? We end up with a guy stranded with a dead ball too often imo

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Jake Davis playing in this game is ludicrous

 

[Iamgroot]

Mj time

 

[logjam]

We seem to always have No homecourt advantage Ever with the refs...what's up...?

 

[New Creation]

free throw defense is ELITE

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Don't like 2 fouls on Bos

[Oracle21]

It’s the Illinois rule.

 

[Iamgroot]

Hate that last shot move the ball and we need someone to cut to the hoop rotate everybody is ball watching smh

 

[spillini]

Riley really needs to keep his dribble going.

 

[DeeIL89]

Need two more guys to step up. Been only KJ so far.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Riley is way, way, way out of his league in this one.

 

[IlliniKat91]

Riley really needs to keep his dribble going.

He's young. He'll get the hang of it. He needs to get the hang of it a lot faster if he wants to be a one-and-done though.

 

[FoundersClub]

Number one in our place, saturday night, the house is rocking, and we are hanging.

Not much more that you can ask for.

 

[Oracle21]

TN can’t hit anything.
3-19

IL not much better at 5/19

 

[Jimbo]

Why do i like this GIF so much?

 

[DICKnaggie]

I'd love to hear why Jake is playing as early and as much as he does and Booth hasn't seen the flour in four games.

They are so damn tough on the ball. Best I’ve seen since Baylor 2021 team that had Davion Mitchell. Just have to keep taking them to the hoop and trying to get them off their feet biting on fakes.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I know this might sound ridiculous and it's probably nothing... but is not starting somehow affecting Riley for the worse? Like, probably nothing but just trying to figure out his regress.

He's gotta get right... Was good early... shot and confidence just not there rn.
