Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[steveinspringfield]

The control DGL has on that spin move is impressive.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Love the confidence of Ben to take and bury that shot.

This is a VERY important start to a half. If that Washington kid goes on a heater....it won't be comfortable.

If Davis goes on a heater, that is all on Brad. It is blatantly obvious that stopping him cold is important.

With Humrichous finally showing signs of life, who can create a Humrichous song to the tune of the "Rally House" jingle?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This bum-looking, most unathletic center i've ever seen guarding KJ and Tomi chucks a 30 footer... SMH

Get Morez in ....

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The amount of heat Tomi is getting while being on pace for a casual 14 & 12 game is comical. Yes he shouldve hit a couple more of those but some of you are doin too much in here LOL

It's not heat. It's commentary based on three, two foot shots that a 7'1" post presence left short. 14 and 12 is great, but that needs to be 20 and 12. There's nothing wrong with expectations. It means you're good if people have them of you.

A little drought going on right now. Gotta get out of it.

 

[hoopsfan47]

One thing for certain, UW does not have the depth to contend with the Illini for 40 min. if our guys are playing hard and focused. If the really slow it down, muck up the middle, and make some H-O-R-S-E; shots, then they can compete...but that is not likely...yet possible as we all know.

im talking about ppl calling him the worst 7 footer, soft, etc bc of the misses, not just calling him to score

Mannn, can Tre White share like 5% of his finishing skill with Kylan

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Or fight through screens and put a hand on his face? That's what they're coached to do. If they execute that and he goes off for 25......hats off.

 

[hoopsfan47]

White using his elite athleticism!!

 

[madillini4]

Have to find a way to win even if the shots aren’t falling. Tonight may be one of those nights.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

They're just sagging tre white... great around the rim but cant shoot

 

[D1959]

Boswell needs to finish at the rim better

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Tre White would be the #1 option on a lot of teams.

 

[FloridaMan]

Not a great 4 minutes there. Need to start hitting some open 3s.

 

[RichardKeenesCousin]

I generally dont like coming in here during the game, but here I am.

 

[LoveLovie]

Playing this one like the west coast, dull atmosphere game that it is. Survive, and get outta there

You mean, some Loyalty members go over the top? Never. . Kidding aside, I agree with you.

 

[UCantHideYer]

3rd on Tomi maybe for foul breath? Couldn’t see anything.

 

[abchew2]

Tre getting really good looks, just unfortunately not hitting today

 

[ILL-Intentions]

As fun as Oregon game was, maybe we could have saved a little shooting for today.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Lots of threes halfway down and out

This looks to be the case, road wins don't look like Thursday very often.
