Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[kyillinifan]

Man is Andre S a good player.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Get rid of these bad threes. Stoj and Boz can be menace downhill.

 

[ejam21]

how do you miss that travel right in front of you

 

[abchew2]

Toppin getting the LeBron treatment tonight I guess

Big Z has much more game than I thought...

He was completely misused by Cal. Just completely utterly misused. It seemed extremely obvious at the time, but we're now seeing how obvious it is to the point of almost complete incompetence on Cal's part

Andrej is a bucket. We need to play through him.

Last game many were calling him a weak link

 

[PopChampaign]

still playing Soulja Boy eh? …. Gotta keep up with the times for these young guys

 

[hoopsfan47]

And I love Jake. He is a valuable part of this machine....but Stoya has a higher ceiling by far.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Could have called another travel on TT on that last kick out. Refs tiring of calling it though.

 

[NarrowJ]

Bryan with 3 fouls is big merely because they don’t have a lot of dudes

 

[so illini]

this is our 3rd game… 3rd. We normally improve drastically throughout the season. May be safe to say a Final 4 run is in our future. Especially with everyone healthy. My goodness. I think Brad has assembled a top 3, if not, the best offensive team in the country. We shall see

Looking good, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Go Illini!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

I don't think that's quite fair. The worst I remember was that we needed to wait and see how he'd do when he recovered fully.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great job by the Krush there keeping quiet so Toppin didn't know the shot clock

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Good defensive possession.

Z.....for 3!!

 

[derrick6]

Z!

 

[Coop70]

Brad seems thinner. Or am i watching a lot of football?

 

[NarrowJ]

A travel? Need to see that again, seemed like guys had arms all over him

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Glad Boswell reamed Mirkovic out. He cannot handle the ball this much.

 

[Epsilon]

How is it a travel when they grab the ball from inside the cylinder?

 

[madillini4]

can’t remember the last time I saw a team travel 5 times in a game, let alone a half.

 

[CDRUSN]

Big Z can block shots like he's swatting flies, rain death from above, and drive the lane too. LOVE his game!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Texas Tech has had absolutely no answer to Big Z on either side of the court this half.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Toppin traveling for the 12th time this game.

Actually called this time.

 

[Coop70]

NO LAST MINUTE RUN!

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Huge 1 and 1 for boz.
