Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[CleverHandle1]

Sandfort's feeling it. He may force a few and actually miss a damn shot.

 

[BDMAN]

Morez's in game play timing is off he needs all the PT he can get to get it back. KJ has made some really bone headed plays this game hope he figures it out

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Those Ts were maybe FRANCON 7. Very subdued for an ejection.

I hate Payton Sandfort so much that I kind of like him. He is going to have a career in the league.

He really is an annoyingly good player

 

[toomuchtuna]

I don't care what anyone says. This game is wild, in the best possible way. Madness, even.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Kylan is playing great, will tomi n tre are solid too. Kj slow down

Welcome to the Career High vs Illinois Club Sandfort.

FFS

That dude's legitimately good. He's gone nuclear more than a few times.

Just attempted to explain this to my wife

 

[blife]

We needed a time out about 2 turn overs ago. We better get heads back on straight

 

[21ChampaignSt]

I don't usually come in here because I don't want to say dumb things. But KJ is an absolute liability sometimes. Sheesh.

And that’s a NBA lottery pick.

I f&cking hate the NBA rn.

 

[CDRUSN]

KJ just looks like he is bored and killing time until he inks his big NBA lottery pick contract. No killer instinct at all like TSJ had come tourney time last year. Man, I miss that fire, competitiveness, and will to win from what should be our best player.

 

[Bigtex]

Wow don’t want to be nba team who drafts kj. I would rather draft Riley.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

KJ has gotta be one of the weirdest players I've ever seen in college basketball. One moment he is the best player on the court. The next he looks like he's never played a minute of competitive ball. Some of his turnovers simply defy all logic.

 

[Battle89]

Fran going out of the coaching game in vintage style (albeit very subdued). Very strange two technicals. Almost looked like he wanted to go for a nap.

Dinner reservations

 

[BDMAN]

We are in the Bomus drive every to the basket

And yet, enormously satisfying. That will taste particularly good if that was his last act coaching in the B1G.

Boswell grown a$$ man take

I f&cking hate the NBA rn.

I don't see it

 

[Fighting I 95]

If we blow this lead, mark down when we were up 13 and 2 straight TOs from Kasparas let them back in it,

He’s been our best player this year but has been awful tonight,

This a thousand times. This isnt the NBA or some bs euro league crap. He does not value the ball.

I don't think it's going to happen. His measurables and his projected skills are lottery material.......he's careless and lazy quite a bit though. It's a tough kid to scout.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

83-71 with 10 minutes left. Wow.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Next Iowa foul is #9. Let's focus and drive the ball.

 

[Jon]

We're trying on defense!

 

[Jimbo]

I had KJ over 2.5 turnovers which was easy. But i have Ivisic over 13.5 points. He needs one more point.
