Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[GoodePodzMelendez]

They are wearing down. Keep pounding the rock. I hope Barkley gets crap with his idiot pick.

 

[curtmoss]

Great no look from Bam!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

That shot by Ben tells me all I need to know about him being in there.

That's the one spot on the floor he (sometimes) hits from.

[NorthShoreIllini]

Boswell is unconscious

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Time to finish them

 

[OskieWowWow]

Riley and Boswell have the made right play every single game...Outstanding job

 

[Illini4Christ]

I am so glad Dr. Jekyll stayed away tonight.

 

[illiram]

Eroxon?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Why Ben over Redd?

This is the question we should be asking ...

 

[thehass]

Will Riley is pretty good.

 

[Illini1429]

Solid play on both ends of the court. If this team shows up every tournament game, we will be a very tough out!!!!

 

[azillini1]

Ben doesn't have a point and White is 3 for 4 from the floor. Who makes these decisions? Brad?

 

[illinifan1971]

It's in Ben's head

 

[DeeIL89]

Thank the lord we got Morez back!

 

[Keisersose]

GREAT RUN!! Up 17.

Wil Riley!

GO ILLINI!!!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

With the 13th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select Will Riley from the University of Illinois!

Ironically enough, one of the most recent mock drafts I read had the Bulls taking Queen from Maryland. Had Riley falling to the Heat.

 

[Ty’s jump shot]

Love how we are playing. But it feels disrespectful to morez and white to play BH so ,many minutes.

 

[hoopsfan47]

The fan in me loves what is happening....but after seeing this season unfold, I expect this to go to the wire. But it does not have to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Kill their hope!!!

 

[NarrowJ]

You can hear the ILL - INI loudly on TV

 

[zentrails]

Solid play on both ends of the court. If this team shows up every tournament game, we will be a very tough out!!!!

Yep, we're in control now, just have to keep going and going and going

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Run this score up to the point we can rest key guys for Kentucky

 

[CDRUSN]

If Will Riley keeps playing like this through the tourney, he's going to force me to learn the words to "Oh Canada". Our freshman are feasting on their vets, this is turning into a statement game for the Illini. If I'm Kentucky, I ain't likin' having to draw us on Sunday.

It's like a gambler hoping over and over this is finally the time Ben finally hits the dagger 3...and it never does
