Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[bleedorange and blue]

Sure wish Riley would find his shot, him or humbrickhouse is so overdue for a big game. Big 2nd half from both would be a nice Christmas present

 

[skyIdub]

I mean, if FloridaMan gets it....

Even bath salts can’t prevent you from seeing it.

 

[whatahack]

I think we look like the better team but need to limit the turnovers

 

[derrick6]

Ahhh, it’s a capital i lol

 

[DeeIL89]

Good end to the first going on that run to go up 5. We got to limit our freaking turnovers because Mizzou is feasting over our turnovers. And we can't keep taking bad shots whenever we get a 6 points lead. Our defense continues to be good game aft game. Boswell and Morez carried us in the 1st half. More Morez and less Ben.

 

[AyoDos11]

Can we get this game on FOX or CBS next year, please?

 

[IlliniKat91]

It changes every year, doesn't it? Whoever is the home team gets their network and crew, or I thought that was the case

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's a flagrant

 

[DeeIL89]

Jesus, these turnovers.

 

[FloridaMan]

Damn. KJ too many TOs.

 

[Illini88]

KJ’s one weakness is his handles. Otherwise incredible

 

[TheodoreRex]

I spy stitches on KJ's nose. Wonder how that happened? Also, stop turning the flippin ball over.

 

[Iamgroot]

Wow they finally called the push on mizzou point guard sadly boswell had to take shot before the refs will call smh

 

[foby]

How do they not look at a blow to the neck or head??

I take it back, these officials are sucking today

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

If nothing else … These boys can work at Arby’s …

 

[illiniguy24]

Hard fought but ugly game so far. Not that impressed with Mizzou so far either. We need to win this one

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

How do the not look at a blow to the neck or head??

I take it back, these officials are sucking today

That KB shot to the neck was an F1 … Literal definition of it …

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Tomi needs to understand how important he is to the team and not foul there.

 

[skyIdub]

Bad: 3 fouls on Tomi

Good: More…Rez

 

[CDRUSN]

It is getting more obvious that Boswell needs to be our primary ballhandler instead of KJ. Teams have figured out that he struggles with quick handed defenders.

 

[Champaign88]

take care of the ball ffs

 

[blife]

We will ever get a ref crew that does not s#ck a$$

 

[skyIdub]

Literally threw Morez to the floor

Edit: ok maybe not totally

 

[logjam]

Bad: 3 fouls on Tomi

Good: More…Rez

I see what you did there...

 

[TheodoreRex]

Better be a flagrant on Mizzou too
