Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[Ryllini]

Who had the possession arrow the end the half?

 

[HailtotheChief]

That was ugly but could be worse. That last foul was just awful. We got the ball first 2nd half. Let's have a great first 4 minutes to start the half.

 

[KBLEE]

Please get Jake Davis off the floor for this game.

I'll take him over Ben any day.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Is it just me or are they letting Butler use that off hand a LOT…. He’s been shoving KJ all night… bull!!!!

 

[JJE]

Davis why are we helping off the best shooter on the court !!!!!!!

Who is teaching these kids to do this !!!!!!

FIRE … HAMER …

It’s time to move on and let the grown ups takeover.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Total crap half and we are only down 5. We stop turning the ball over and they can't pull away, despite our bad shooting.

Come on, guys.

 

[Illiniguy13]

I’m quite nervous if I’m a Kentucky fan

 

[steveinspringfield]

If that wasn't an illegal screen...well, why have the rule at all?

 

[dainjazoner]

you get a switch with riley or if they play bos on oweh YOU HAVE TO ATTACK and get him his 3rd foul early

 

[fatboyslim]

As a sidenote, DGL has looked really bad over this last month or so.

Yeah going behind the screen on that Butler 3 was pretty bad.

 

[Deep]

This could be a lot worse.
If we make a few shots and stop with TO's this game is ours

Can't let him sit by Dra during the scouting report

 

[SCillini]

Bench Ben! He didn’t make that three.

And PLEASE stop with the careless turnovers.

 

[mikeyo]

Please get Jake Davis off the floor for this game.

I mean, you can't play DGL or Ben because they don't defense and Tomi is down with fouls. who do you go to?

 

[WyattEarp]

Hey guys…I figured it out. We should have had Hum shooting it from half court all this time.

 

[Rich]

I’m quite nervous if I’m a Kentucky fan

Yes, but I'm very nervous as an Illini fan

 

[toomuchtuna]

Winnable game

 

[Goillinikobd]

Hummer missed his hero moment

Barely

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Gameplay on Butler - let him shoot. Well, that didn't work...

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Well, I do hope we win the second half, but then I am terrified of playing Tennessee

 

[Chad Fleck]

Very pleased with being down 5 at the half given the way that felt.

 

[IndyOrange]

We usually lose if we don’t hit 80 pts. Need a big 2nd half.

 

[Deep]

Please get Jake Davis off the floor for this game.

That last foul in Jake was just bad luck

 

[BBlock24]

Don’t turn the ball over and we win.

 

[Illini8420]

It’s simple. We keep driving, we’ll win. They couldn’t stop Kylan and Will attacking the paint late in the first half
