Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Pikeillinifan]

I hate getting out hustled and rebounded. Hope we can dial it up.

 

[DeeIL89]

Got to make the most of Michigan's turnovers. Can't waste those.

 

[March2TheArch]

no one touched cason

absolutele BS call. Great D by Z.

Z's the only guy that can make the layups difficult because Keaton can not stay in front of their guards.

I thought our defense was predicated on giving up 3s not layups. Perhaps Keaton needs to gamble and play off a bit more.

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

Andrej wasn’t even looking. But BAM threw a friggin rocket…

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

What an AWFUL turnover by Boswell...

He's been great, but in spurts has weird moments.

 

[Oracle21]

I think our defense has been pretty good so far. We are at least switching things up and making Michigan think in the half court about what they want to do

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

AS hero ball moments got us out of rhythm. Wants to get "his' instead of "ours"

Was definitely a momentum killer. However, no excuse for all those offensive rebounds.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

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

Refs= Non Issue
Rebounding= Issue

Need to work a lot harder to overcome their size and athleticism. Morez has position on every single shot.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Morez showed up ready to play.

I expected no less. Lot of hard feelings.

Could've been an amp the crowd moment. But outside Bos, Keaton and Andrej are putting no pressure on the paint. I'm not sure how Andrej fits into the team if he's not a legit 3 or penetraton threat.

 

[Ryllini]

I think the boys are ok. Michigan is playing tougher and more hustle.

 

[DeeIL89]

Andrej......no.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

Dre is very very bad

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Drej is not locked in, but maybe that was the high ankle sprain, also.

Edit: Nope, just a good block.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh Ben! My oh my!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Wagler looks bad…

Every pass of his is off …

 

[New Creation]

BENNY!!

 

[TheodoreRex]

Dre must be benched- unplayable. Absolutely killing us.

 

[CDRUSN]

Andrej is a real liability in this one. Playing out of control and disrupting our flow.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Four point swing. Andrej is all out of sorts.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

Fouling way to much

 

[Illini_Jack]

Wagler with 2 fouls

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Stojakovic doesn't fit this team. He doesn't pass out, and is not a good shooter. Looks for his own way too much.

 

[azillini1]

Ben … didn’t know he could get above the rim!

 

[FloridaMan]

These refs - and the B10 who inexplicably keeps them employed - are not serious
