Will Riley Slytherin House.

Swain shooting some ducks and making them somehow but we need to do better there in getting some pressure on there. Ben was stuck to the screener like wet paper

 

[pweo]

We dorking Swain, he hits 2. Same as it ever was

 

[Coop70]

Bouncing 3s dropping for X.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Back to the bench Ben, big mental mistake. Cannot be going under that screen

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

That's the second lucky bounce 3 for Xavier.

 

[fatboyslim]

How many lucky bounces is xavier gonna get

 

[UCantHideYer]

Second three for them with the ridiculous bounce. Ours are pure!

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

The stage is just too big for Ben! I know he is giving his best but it’s just what it is!

 

[NASchamp]

Two obvious travels not called. And two trash 3s have fallen for them so far.

 

[dainjazoner]

ben is clearly the worst player on the court and in the rotation. jake davis and morez are glued to the bench and better players.

 

[TrahNeb]

Ok now Swain is 2-2 from 3

16 percent career from 3

Are we surprised?

 

[CleverHandle1]

I don't give a Rat's !!! if he's only shooting 17% from 3. Get out on him at least not to give him an open look! He's hit two of them now!

 

[DeeIL89]

Another Xavier's 3. Come on! That's one on Ben.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Refs do not care about steps, lol. 3 blatant travels by Xavier thus far

Every game I've watched has had tons of travelling. Lots of no calls.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Wtf every dead looking shot goes in for them.

 

[BDMAN]

OK maybe this is not the game for Ben his foot speed is too slow, you cannot go under screens against these guys you have play with in an arm's length and he is defending to not get beat off the dribble because of that slow foot speed

 

[zentrails]

X with so many garbage shots..

At least 2 3's that bounced funny and went in.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Career night against Illinois defense ... I AM SICK OF IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blife]

Swain has a horseshoe shove up his a$$, those were 2 of the ugliest 3s I have seen go in today, front iron up and over seriously

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Have to ride Tre and Will and I need a little more Rez when we have 3 point shots in the mix for boards

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

GET ... BEN ... OUT ...

 

[Illini-Rule]

I'm so sick of moving screens!

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Swain with career night, of course. How does it happen every game

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ben is responsible for giving them 8 points so far defensively, not to mention his offensive struggles…

Bs...they let the guy shoot n he made it. Ben missed a shot and had a to
