Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

Nice move by Andrej to get on Coit's right side so he had to go left to get the shot off.

Defense has been amazing after an opening stretch where twerps made side step and step back 3s

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Keaton those are usually automatic

 

[Illinisnake]

Andrej with really nice defense on Coit.

Extremely impressive from him tonight, kid is a rock star. I’ll be honest I questioned his ability on both ends of the floor early on but he’s unreal. Lots of credit to the coaching staff for keeping him on track.

Andrej playing great D

Still playing awesome D

The defense has done a complete 180 since around the 10 minute mark. Love to see it.

Brad taking the timeout with him into the locker room again…

Is is too much to ask Tomi to box out ??

He doesn’t even try …

 

[eas23]

Nice play by Mirk to make a pass with 2 seconds on the clock instead of just going right back up.

1. Get back fun Z

We’re up 17 lol

Mirk is so tough. Just a baller. If he get's stronger with the ball...look out.

CLINIC, I tell you!

We arrived at the right combination of players. Mainly AS, Mirk, KW. Rotate two around them and play accordingly.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Now that’s how you finish a half!

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Great half, I was a little worried earlier.

 

[azillini1]

Much better first half than I could have expected

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Tomi when he grabs a rebound…

I honestly hate timeouts right before the half, he has a lottery pick on this team. Give him the ball and let him go. I trust anything Keaton does.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

17 point lead and didn't even notice

 

[Orangetool]

Mirk the hell outta them.

Ummmm....we were on the roll? Did you need to pee or something?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

We’re up 17 lol

Should’ve used it to get Jakstys out of the game …

 

[RollChief]

Can’t be too mad at winning the assist battle 11-3 with your starting PG out
