Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[Miles Leonard]

Cougars punched us to end the first half. We punched right back to open the 2nd half.

Now that’s how you start a 2nd half

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

That’s exactly what to do, precision surgery, they cannot stop that

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

I love this team! What fight!!!

 

[CDRUSN]

Tuggler the muggler is starting to rankle my bottom. Let's really take it to these unlikeable jerks.

 

[hiberto]

wow, a coach that calls timeouts to stop runs

 

[CrazedUIFan]

Both teams making halftime adjustments

[PNWIllini]

Holy crap Illini Nation.

 

[Iamgroot]

Timeout Houston ILL LFG

 

[Chillinini]

Just when I say that….Jake does the little things. Keep proving me wrong!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Alright!!! Now, Let’s do better with this 7-point lead than we did with the last one.

 

[Sim]

Samson isn’t afraid to call a timeout and make changes when he needs to.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Mirk is so FN good as a distributor

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Excellent job. We're running the sets that diced up VCU early. That's how you break this Houston team down. Great distribution

 

[SuperMetroid]

Tugger straight up tackles someone on every rebound

 

[altgeld88]

Drive and dish all damn day.

Over and over and over until the final horn.

 

[IlliniWC]

We’re mostly giving up midrange shots, gotta feel good about that.

 

[champaignpak]

please be smart now protect the lead

 

[Illinifan533]

Here I am mad about the refs and the boys have pushed the lead back to 7 lol

 

[blife]

Stay strong on D and the Boards

 

[hoopsfan47]

Out of the blue, our guys start playing with some competence...spurred on by KW. How about a 15 min. stretch of that?

 

[Keisersose]

Drive and dish!!!!

 

[jmm]

Gonna need 40 in the second half to win it I think.

Getting there
