Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn

[illiniguy24]

Mirk is the man. What a half

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Total Z oops this half = 0

22 three pointers attempted

This is disappointing

 

[Thaillini22]

On pace to just about cover-ish.

 

[tcb13]

New rule: only Mirk and Ben may shoot threes

Keaton?

 

[Illini1977]

Of course

 

[blife]

Seriously KB you know he is taking the shot. Brutal end

 

[SkiCow]

Terrible D from Tomi at the end there. Needs to step up and prevent that shot.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

What in the world was that defense tomi

 

[Illini88]

Moron basketball. 3 fouls and you let them get an open three at end of half

 

[DeeIL89]

Thank god for David.

 

[Jimbo]

What was that

Lol

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Ugh hate that bucket before half. Foul someone. You've only committed three fouls as a team.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Penn is so outmatched but is only down by 10.
Sorry Brad, but WHAT ARE YOU DOING????

 

[BT262]

Penn can’t stop the Illini in the paint.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Our end of half/game D is THE worst

 

[Champaign88]

Didn’t yes the first half time out. The cost? 9-0 run instead of 5-0 or 7-0 when it was obvious and then beyond obvious we needed one.

Or could have used it to set the defense…

 

[Da88]

We'd be in big trouble without Mirk.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Wagler triple double watch: 7pts, 5rebs, 5ast.

 

[TampaToo]

He had close to a week off...Exhaustin is no excuse

Ok

 

[Zweebs]

What did they do to Tomi? Literally unplayable.

 

[NarrowJ]

That was pretty dumb nobody even tried to play defense there

 

[WeLoveNoOther]

thank goodness Mirk showed up tonight.

 

[gary?]

how on earth do you give up that 3?

 

[PopChampaign]

Halftime…. this is where we’ve had some issues in the past. Let’s stay locked in coming out of the half and set the tone early.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Moron basketball. 3 fouls and you let them get an open three at end of half

Absolutely ridiculous
