Game Thread: Illinois vs Long Island

[LoveIlliniHoops]

Going off memory but believe it was -34.5

Thank you. I hate how hard it is to find for your home state schools

Man that Mirk-Z-Mirk action was Euro as heck- love it

 

[FloridaMan]

Z blocks and dunks in bunches!

Are we the prime Cleveland Cavaliers right now?

 

[abchew2]

Good to see them not being overly reliant on the 3s. Big change from last year.

Literally just type Illinois LIU spread today into google

Just tuned in after reading game thread. Thought we would only be up a few points. To my surprise we are up almost 20 and shooting 64% from the field.
And look great too in the fresh unis.

Very fair. It's really a testament to how truly talented we are when we have most of the team sleepwalking to a 25+pt first half lead. We're really really good, just playing this like an early Saturday morning game.

I will officially declare that I think the Illini have found their focus and energy...if anybody cares.

 

[BBlock24]

If this is how Illinois looks while healthy, albeit against inferior competition, for the love of god, please stay healthy lol.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We have absolutely taken over these final 6minutes

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

You know Brad will lay into them about those offensive rebounds. After the slow start, a pretty darn spectacular close to the half on both ends.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Wagler's so good.

Nice having the top 10 guys available to play today

I am salivating at the potential of when Tomi is healthy what a Tomi-Mirk pairing is going to be.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

With the current rate of intensity, this may be a 10 pt. or less game in the final 10 min.

I think we got it in gear. LOL

 

[band camp]

Are our expectations a bit hyped?

No, just that yall had me worried.

 

[UCantHideYer]

How can‘t Keaton score? His arsenal of skills is super impressive.

 

[LoveIlliniHoops]

We covered!!!

 

[skyIdub]

Just know that if I win the huge Powerball jackpot at any point in the next 6 months....I am dropping giant bags of cash in Keaton Wagler's lap to stay another year.

He has multiple weapons.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

The lack of experience may show, but the talent is through the roof for Wagler.

 

[The Fonz]

Is this game evidence of "look good, feel good, play good"??? Those new scripts look nice man, not sure why we choose a BIG+ buy game to debut them though. Half the fans wouldn't have seen them in action

If I hit it, I will donate a huge chunk of cash to the program and get Josh to promote Dan to be the official Illinois media director.
