Game Thread: Illinois vs Southern

[Fighter of the Nightman]

WHY have the 1LL1NO1S uniforms returned right when we thought they were finally put to death?!

 

[dsg]

Too many turnovers

 

[GTL Adam]

I woulda thought Petrovic had better handles.
Maybe he just needs tic.

he’s probably just not very good

 

[Dawgss4life]

Boswell turnover. Pull em. Just like MP.
Bid hasn’t changed much. Gets most his points when it’s either to late (Nebraska) or garbage time.

He looks to be forcing the pace too much

 

[stlrunner]

I knew its been said a million times, but...man, Keaton is so good.

 

[Juju]

That's...strange. Why? The holidays?

 

[eas23]

Petrovic dribbles into trouble, gets the ball ripped away, then trots back after the man who took the ball from him.

It's time to put this to rest. He's just not the player we thought he could be.

 

[DeeIL89]

Racking up the turnovers.

 

[stlrunner]

I get that he hasn't had a lot of opportunities for extended minutes, but...he's eventually gotta come in for one of these 1-2 minute stretches and not have a bad turnover.

Rusty. Egg nog hangover.

 

[Jimbo]

Why was Mircivic getting grief from Underwood?

I don’t know what’s happening, but Petrovic just never looks ready to play when he comes into the game. Those turnovers are not ones I’d expect to see from a skilled point guard.

Did Tomi smash his brothers face with a Christmas guitar over break??

 

[aveseaboy]

Guy was so scared of the Zvon block he just chucked it up and hoped it’d drop

 

[illiniguy24]

This is ugly

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Did Tomi smash his brothers face with a Christmas guitar over break??

I think it was from the clash of heads Z had last week. You know, the one where the Mizzou player wasn’t even fazed.

 

[Jon]

He got popped in the nose against Mizzou

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

early triple double watch for Wagler?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Nice to see BTN recognize Dave Downey. They often do a nice job with those kinds of things.

 

[aveseaboy]

That was a crazy late whistle

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Underwood is right…the only thing they didn’t hack was the ball

 

[skyIdub]

That was a crazy late whistle

After Mirk got graped on the other end...

Ooh. Congrats! I’m considering pulling the trigger on retirement this coming year if I can get over the irrational anxiety about it.

I say "do it" if you can. So glad I quit the rat race a few years ago. Lucky, no anxiety, none at all. "What - me worry?" The wonderful world of retirement: stay up, get up late ... And I don't have to shave every day if I don't want to!

I too dislike today's unis.

Took a bit to get settled in but we are dominating in the ways we should dominate.
