Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Illini88]

Key here is to NOT give up a three. We get a stop and momentum swings big

 

[FloridaMan]

Like a lot of teams, minus Michigan, they cannot guard when the ball goes to a seven footer within 5 feet of the basket. Why it took us 35 minutes to figure that out escapes me.

 

[Jimbo]

Explain why we are not feeding Tomi on the post every time. Even if he passes out it open up our threes which have otherwise been shut down other than Keaton.

I can’t explain it.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Stay on their shooters. Get the ball out of buzzcut’s hands. Make anyone else beat you.

Boswell seems like a bit of a negative here. When he’s out we make runs, and when he’s in Stirtz is giving him fits.

Second half Tomi’s been great.

Drej is really bothering Stirtz, Bam gets too far behind on the screen

My heart is racing soooooo fast. LORD!!!!!!

How is that a foul?

 

[IlliniKat91]

We've been traveling all day and finally made it to the in laws, so I had to stop watching. It sounds like we're doing better without my eyeballs, so I'm going to just keep checking the score

How is that a foul?

It’s not

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Dre being the guy trying to neutralize Stirtz was not on my bingo card today. But he’s doing well

 

[Illini88]

AS has been incredible on D!!!

 

[abchew2]

Andrej is having an excellent stretch on Stirtz

How is that a foul?

[Retro62]

They just showed two replays where Iowa was riding KW all the way to the basket and setting a moving screen with no calls. Then they call that. Nobody is this bad accidentally. No way. No how.

 

[Illinifan533]

This offensive run started when Mirk finally converted both free throws on one-and-one

 

[…INI!]

Yes!!!

 

[DeeIL89]

Don't let these f'ing refs beat you!

 

[CentralILLini]

THERE IT IS!!!! Zzzzzz

 

[JJE]

Z the spark plug baby!!!!

 

[FoundersClub]

Four minutes to freedom boys.
Lock in time.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Drej is really bothering Stirtz, Bam gets too far behind on the screen

Andrej has been TERRIFIC

 

[BWBW]
