Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[March2TheArch]

We can not stay in front of their speedy guards. Feel like I've seen this movie.

Where are the "traitor" or "sellout" chants for Morez? Booing isn't enough. Orange Krush has to get a bit more in sync here

 

[FloridaMan]

Foul on Wagler as Cason pushes him off. Whatever

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Bam doing what a senior leader needs to be doing in a big one. Gonna miss him when he's gone.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

Any time Michigan needs a basket they are attacking Keaton

 

[Illini_Jack]

Boswell game?

 

[Jon]

Can't lose the rebound, foul, and turnover battle

 

[FoundersClub]

Unacceptable to get out worked in a game like this

 

[Epsilon]

Phantom foul

 

[NASchamp]

I feel like there’s a lot of anticipation whistles on us in this game.

 

[ejam21]

no one touched cason

 

[FloridaMan]

Getting out hustled is not an option

 

[TheodoreRex]

Cason is better than Cadeau, goodness

 

[CrazedUIFan]

Terrible call

 

[SuperMetroid]

Phantom foul

You cannot let your guard down for a second with Michigan. You have to stay locked in every play or they’re gonna burn you.

 

[HouTexIllini]

Morez is playing the exact same role as he did last year but made 6 three's this year. As Loren Tate said, he simply made the freshman-to-sophomore jump that was expected. Nothing more.

And that’s a bad thing?

Maybe he hasn’t taken a leap at all. Maybe he is doing what he would have done last year with more PT and in a non elementary defensive scheme.

He has guarded every position tonight so far including a good job on our best player.

I’d take it.

 

[Oracle21]

They are out-athletiing us on the boards

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Lol, whiff on the foul...money on? scUM and officials

 

[New Creation]

Andrej in the biggest moments- turtles.... Awful so far.

He hasn't play any meaningful minutes since he got to college. Sandford, Cal.. bad teams.. now there is real pressure to perform.

Kylan is going to will us to stay close right now

 

[illinifreak30]

Refs are ruining the flow of the game

 

[azillini1]

Bam is really aggressive offensively tonight

Need AJ to get to the rim effectively

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Nice switch to zone.

 

[Jon]

Okay I don't like it, but the no look alley-oop pass off the rim is objectively funny

 

[Epsilon]

Apparently you’re allowed to body block and push a player backwards?!?!?!!
