Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Oracle21]

Settle down Kylan…

 

[illiniguy24]

Some great minutes from Will. Also looks like KB is really being patient and not forcing the 3 ball

My fault guys. Jinxed KB

 

[OB positive]

Mich state getting every call or no call. Whatever they need, just ridiculous.

 

[eas23]

Love, love, love bringing KJ back in. It's not a rule a guy with 2 has to sit the entire half. Keep the wave going and don't wait for Sparty to make a run.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I want a replay of bam getting fouled and Rez supposedly out of bounds

 

[PoCo_Illini]

The more the season progresses the more and more I don’t like Boswell running things

 

[LuckyIllini]

Take bam out. He offers nothing at this point

 

[FoundersClub]

Not sure what the issue it but Kylan looks uncomfortable/ very out of sorts on both ends.

 

[FromTheLogo]

He misses soooooo many guys under the rim in the roll or back cut. Morez had an easy dunk, but he fired a three.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

So does Illinois get the refs in the 2nd half? Or did troll whine a whole games worth?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Given all the foul trouble, I’ll be VERY happy to have this game close at the half.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Taking way too many long 3's with a tight whistle. Go to the basket and get to the line

I'd agree with you except for the fact the refs have called no contact fouls on MSU on our drives thus far yet have called 6 the other way. The tight whistle is only blowing one way right now

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

All in all, we’re doing pretty good on the road without our best player for most of the game. Just need to keep this close until half.

Seems hesitant on both ends of the floor

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Kylan has just always looked uncomfortable without Kasparas... wouldn't hate bringing him back

 

[ILL-Intentions]

We gonna get 16-6-5 from KJ in the second half?

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Boswell was a 38% 3-point shooter in career. Gets Fletched and now about 27%.

 

[CDRUSN]

KB is killing us with those threes that almost always bounce off the rim. I generally like his game, but against a strong team we have much better offensive options than that. He should concentrate on his strength as a facilitator, or by driving and drawing contact.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

What we need is someone to find their offensive game besides #7. When KJ goes out, Ivisic disappears. Johnson, White, and Ben have been invisible. Boswell a detriment. Come on, guys!

 

[bjp84]

Would like to see KJ in game. The truly great ones know how to play with fouls. Hopefully he can do that.

 

[Battle89]

Feels the need to do it all with KJ fouls. Combine that with the layup yips and it’s a bad situation. The matador defense I don’t know might be also related to foul fear. Can’t be down two PGs.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Boswells efficiency at the rim is a huge concern at this point.

Eff spending time trying to evolve a point forward, if we can develop DGL into a legit combo guard, our ceiling will be through the roof.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Boswells efficiency at the rim is a huge concern at this point.

He likes to attempt layups left-handed, but misses most.

 

[stlrunner]

Boswell…what the hell…

 

[hoopsfan47]

We have taken 31 shots to their 21....but the total footage, though drastically different, has allowed them to make layups. Not a single person should be surprised at anything as both teams are playing their game against good defense.
