Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[IlliniwekKDR]

KYLAN, WHAT A PLAY!

 

[New Creation]

What the heck is this team doing on defense… wide open 3’s. Wide open layups

 

[Illinisnake]

Hand down, man down

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Kylan coming up huge for us down the stretch!

 

[Naborman88]

D can’t get a stop

Why on earth is Big Z on the floor, hand down on their best 3 point shooter- what are we doing?

 

[illiniguy24]

HOW do you not put up a hand there?

We’ve done it all night. They’ve had open looks from lazy close outs and rotations all night

 

[Epsilon]

Get a stop here boyz

 

[sacraig]

If we go to OT, at least foul trouble will help us. Ha

 

[DICKnaggie]

Thanks for playing in the second half Kylan.

 

[FloridaMan]

No D. No win

 

[Iamgroot]

Boswell feel8ng it we got a chance if we can get 2 stops in a row checkmate big if though

 

[sacraig]

Bama is just making some incredibly difficult shots right now. Goodness.

 

[FoundersClub]

Just a piss poor effort on defense. Truly.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Gotta give Philon credit. He's making some shots unfortunately

 

[The pop of Champaign]

They let one man beat them. A lot of work to be done to get right.

 

[KCBassin]

Good try guys maybe next time make the bunnies and free throws

 

[PopChampaign]

Dude is cooking us single-handedly to close the game

 

[illinifreak30]

Philon traveled wtf

 

[FantaIllini]

Frustrating to watch but im not gonna overreact

 

[jamarvelous31]

I just don't understand this closing lineup.

Stoj won't hit 3s, isn't hitting FTs and is going 1 for 3
Bam has been passive and not played great
Ben is mimicking what comes out of a cows anus
Z has not played well
Wagler has not played well

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Game over.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Big Z is going to a roller coaster of emotions for us this year. Useless when he isn’t on.

He has not been good tonight. Ughh

 

[bjp84]

Couldn’t put Boswell on Philon with 4 fouls
