Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[stlrunner]

We’re outplaying them, but getting killed on the boards and killed on foul calls, which makes me nervous

 

[JKR]

21-10 on FTs.

 

[DeeIL89]

No free throw attempts from us so far. Thanks refs. Smh.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

It's almost like they're trying to grab a jelly roll.

 

[chief]

not comfortable with the feel of this game

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Ty has a place in this rotation if he can get healthy. We need his rebounding.

It sounds like he hasn't even been able to run yet and just started light jogging. I am pessimistic about his chances of being ready for full contact basketball this season.

 

[FloridaMan]

Tomi's "lack of" D is absolutely killing us.

 

[JJE]

I miss this kind of toughness.

 

[Todd99]

It's almost like they're trying to grab a jelly roll.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We are so slow off the floor on these rebounds.

 

[FoundersClub]

We’re now getting doubled up on the boards

 

[IlliniRunIn07]

The crowd was screaming for a 3 second violation for about 3 seconds. We are getting jobbed badly.

 

[CleverHandle1]

David, sit down.

 

[JKR]

Boswell with zero defense

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

mirk REALLY struggling

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Poor half against a struggling Tennessee team

 

[CleverHandle1]

Yay! A rebound on shot clock violation.

 

[blife]

Why the F are we trying to start our O about 5 feet back from where we should. Assert your will on them

 

[HailtotheChief]

Wagler can't get in the lane. Mihailo can. He will make those lay ups most of the time

 

[GetAWin]

That might go in....air ball

 

[punchabove33]

Well.. aren't we a second half team? LOL.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Hey! A foul on them!

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Wow they called a foul on TN

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Mirk needs to go up strong with that. Can't be afraid of contact

 

[Epsilon]

He gets knocked out of bounds and Tennessee is unhappy? WTF?
