Every so often Dusty May makes faces like that kid who inhaled too much helium at the birthday party. Just an observation.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Morez getting 18 free throw attempts on our home court wasn’t something I thought would happen

11 FT to 3. Our usul home court advantage.

What an AWFUL turnover by Boswell...

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

Agreed he tries to do to much at times

Kylin is not our point guard. Why is he playing point guard? Keaton is our the point guard! He's not even touching the ball in games, Anymore.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Mirk & Bam want it the most tonight.

 

[Oracle21]

I think we’re better with Jake Davis playing and Andres on the bench

 

[BoiseBaller]

Mirk has the most exaggerated body language of any player I can remember.

 

[illiram]

Michigan is athletic but a bit dumb. We will gut this one out.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

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

Edit: Nope, just a good block.

Dre is locked in he just isn't good right now. When Mara is in there he shouldn't be in there

Mirk has 6 of our 13 boards and we are now out-rebounding Scum 13 to 11

 

[whatahack]

Michigan is good

high knees having a career day

 

[jamie13197]

This is exactly what I thought would happen.. Their bigs are more physical than ours..

We have to play smart and put them in foul trouble or we won't win..

We need to let Keaton play lead guard again! That's the key, not Bam!

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Keaton’s second foul sure looked like a hook and hold on Mara. Surprised Brad didn’t appeal.

Love it

 

[HouTexIllini]

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

Another well known thing when the paid for him to be here.

Isn’t he one of the upgrades in talent on this years team people keep talking about?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Just has a feeling like Michigan is more in control right now, but I’m not overly concerned. We need to make a few shots and gain some momentum.

Crowd has been fantastic.

Tomi and Z need to rebound like Mirk. Mirk is always using both hands with authority when rebounding.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

SIX turnovers. CANNOT happen.

Michigan has 6 themselves though. Illinois is last in the nation in forcing turnovers so bit of a surprise.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Mirk has the most exaggerated body language of any player I can remember.

Coleman Hawkins says hi…

 

[jamie13197]

Bam and Andre turning this into 1on1 time is pathetic.

 

[InDaAZ]

Michigan is good

Michigan fans: Illinois is good

 

[Bigtex]

Better clean up the turnovers before Illinois gets down double figures.

Andrej looks lost

 

[Dragons89]

Why do we play more nervous at home than away?
