Game Thread: Illinois at USC

[jumpingjack]

I think the best bet is for the Illini.

Agreed. I'm just saying he's that guy if he stays in college.

Let's hang a 40 burger on them

It really does not matter which Illini coaches decide to shut down. They are all so unselfish that there are 7 others that can carry the team.

Kylan with 12pts, 8asts, 5rebs so far on a broken hand

 

[skyIdub]

There's our road warriors!!!! ILL!!!

Stadium Illini: we hear you loud and clear

7 guys in double digits, all between 10-14 ppg. That is a very balanced and dangerous team. USC looks like garbage out there and they are a tournament team at the current time. This is a very strong performance

Also, as much as Orange Krush has gotten killed for their lack of energy, it doesn't even compare to USC who doesn't even seem to have a student section at all. What an embarrassment. I guess they truly only do care about football. I have noticed this in other games of theirs too

Can’t wait to see how we move on Kenpom/Torvik after this absolute beat down.

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

Can we play the bench?

 

[Ramrod2010]

As boring as these announcers have been, I have to admit they have made me chuckle a few times. But that could be because it's past my bedtime.

Boring yes, but very easy to listen to.

This team at full strength is an absolute wagon. Just a really, really good basketball team.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Can we take Keaton out now?

 

[New Creation]

ILLINI chants loud and clear

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Aannouncers are kinda bored.

 

[PNWIllini]

“We saw this last year as Illinois took over Washington”

I feel heard.

This team at full strength is an absolute wagon. Just a really, really good basketball team.

Some people would say amazing, amazing.

 

[illini510]

Also, kudos to the announce team. I like listening to Guy Haberman and Don McLean. Just no nonsense basketball commentary and no schtick or cliche terms like we see with some of the other regular BTN announcers(I'm talking about you Kevin Kugler lol)

 

[CrazedUIFan]

Musselman should save his energy with the refs

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

If Eric keeps screaming at the refs, they may get back into this one

 

[Piotyr]

86 points and nobody with more than 14. Wagler has 10.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Musselman wants to get T'd up so he doesn't have to watch this anymore.

 

[skyIdub]

Ok...let's get Andrej on the bench now. Ankle test passed....rest time.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

A 40 point loss never hurts the resume

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Aannouncers are kinda bored.

When a game is lopsided like this, can you really blame them?

Jake Davis leads the team in scoring and rebounds.

One thing I've noticed about Jake - besides the more consistent and clutch shooting - is he seems so much more athletically comfortable this year. Last year he just seemed physically mismatched against quality teams. He had a rebound in the first half where he skied above everyone else. Must be putting in a ton of strength and conditioning work.
