Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Dr Copejam]

no defense

 

[PasadenaIllini]

We are effing around a lot. Hoping that we don't find out.

 

[Epsilon]

How have we not put these clowns away yet?

 

[SuperMetroid]

FFS put these clowns away already

 

[Trueblue777]

Ivisic looks like a matador out there on D at times

 

[MainelyIllini]

First to 115 wins.

 

[TampaToo]

Hamer time? How about some defense!!!!

 

[Illinifan533]

Both teams look too winded to be trying on defense

 

[BDMAN]

We better start playing smart this game is not over!!!!

 

[Epsilon]

About two minutes later

Yeah no kidding…, but what I meant was when will he ever have a game like this again…

 

[ChiTown]

Defense is optional tonight.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

We are winning by double digits coming out of the time out, going to the line a chance to go up 18.

I remember that. That was a fun moment.

 

[Bigtex]

He is, but make an adjustment. Double him. Make him get the ball out of his hands. He’s the only guy scoring.
Make someone else score.

But that has been said almost every game all year as a guy goes for a career high

 

[band camp]

I remember that. That was a fun moment.

Fair.

This is the Minnesota game in Champaign last season

 

[nyc_illini]

Hamer time? How about some defense!!!!

why bother at this point

 

[blife]

We need to get some F'ing stops

 

[FloridaMan]

Good thing we are doubling them up on the boards. Otherwise they might be up by 30 on us rn.

Maybe the most extreme game by the Illini I have ever seen in respect to elite offense and horrendous defense. Iowa has adjusted their FT defense and it has proven very effective. /s

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

I though Booth, Reed, etc would be finishing this game

 

[HailtotheChief]

Being I'm the double bonus is huge and a few fouls to give. I like the time out by Brad. Set up.the D and get a stop! Fir having a good lead I'm stressed
Let's play solid on D thevlastv4 min

 

[BDMAN]

Absolutely no flack! You're 100% right. He's become EXTREMELY valuable because he's accepted the role.

He just needs to stop fading away and go up with his shot

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Stats in this game are wild. My favorite might be Morez with 5 ORB… in ten minutes

 

[DeonThomas]

I've not been well tuned-in. Is this a Quad 2 game?

I got you covered DT. Iowa is #63 as of tonight. So it's a Quad 2 game, playing them on a neutral court.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Maybe the most extreme game by the Illini I have ever seen in respect to elite offense and horrendous defense. Iowa has adjusted their FT defense and it has proven very effective. /s

Can't say it hasn't been entertaining or at very least.... interesting.
