Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[aaeismacgychel]

Does Peacock allow more crowd noise into the broadcast than other channels. Or is the crowd just louder than normal.

Definitely louder than normal for this season thus far. You can tell because you see more than a handful of people jumping, movinh, and not looking at their phones.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

STOP. THE. TURNOVERS.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Too many risky passes.

 

[New Creation]

DGL with good defense on Skyy

5 TOs so far

 

[skyIdub]

There's a big difference between lazy turnovers and effort turnovers. These are effort turnovers.

 

[WyattEarp]

We’d better meet the pass tonight. (Pass fakes wouldn’t hurt either.)

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go, KJ

 

[PNWIllini]

This is still payback for Benedict Bartow.

 

[illiniguy24]

What’s Morez supposed to do there? Let him score?

 

[Orangetool]

Gotta watch the fouls, turnovers

 

[hoopsfan47]

If KJ can get his shooting confidence we will have some fun.

Shot selection had been horrible. My goodness Mj, gets abused by referees.

 

[FloridaMan]

Ben gives up another FT rebound? Cannot happen

 

[SuperMetroid]

UCLA chucking elbows on every screen

 

[New Creation]

Nuggests

 

[SAELION]

UCLA'S ABILITY TO CUT OF DRIVES IS AMAZING THUS FAR.

 

[Orangetool]

Not sure, too many threes?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Riley needs to make better decisions with the ball in his hands.

 

[NarrowJ]

Excellent b2b possessions defensively by Ben, with the deny on Dailey and then the block in transition

 

[skyIdub]

Riley needs to make better decisions with the ball in his hands.

Honestly this could be said for all of them.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Not sure, too many threes?

The one by KJ just now was a practice shot. If you won't take that... that's not how you play ball at this level.

 

[WyattEarp]

my god humrichous is terrible. he does nothing.

He just played pretty good defense the last couple times down the court.

 

[New Creation]

We might be up by 20 without 6 TOs and leaving the UCLA 40% 3point shooter open not ideal.

 

[zentrails]

This is still payback for Benedict Bartow.

LOL I'm old enough to get that one.
