Game Thread: Illinois at Texas Tech

[Altgeld's Bells]

Anyone who expected a decent whistle with High Knees out there…well I have some beachfront property in Loda to sell you. I’m not sure how a guy can be so bad at his job and continue to get work.

Seems like he holds a grudge against us for some reason.

Keep chipping away. Finite time but I'm feeling the slow, methodical comeback.

 

[hoopsfan47]

just make open shots and this would be a completely different game

We are shooting a higher % from the field...but no one would say we are shooting hot tonight.

Win or lose, the game ball goes to Lincoln

Seriously, has Z made a 3 since last January?

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Keep chippin’ away boys

4 point game with a couple of those open 3’s. Good for this to happen win or lose. Freshmen will adjust quickly to the speed of this level of competition. You can see it already, injuries are scary however

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Win or lose this game is what prepares you for playing on the road and late into March. Like the adjustments by everyone.

I’m not gonna get super worked up over the outcome of this game if we lose. I love what I’m seeing from the freshman. Just need to stay/get healthy.

Ummmm....so....Head Coach Tyler Underwood???

It seems like he’s shooting it with both hands now. All confidence is lost .

 

[BBlock24]

Big Z needs to stop shooting big threes

This made me LOL

 

[JKR]

This game feels SO DIFFERENT right now if Vaaks made that 3.

Or any of the other 4.

Pointed it out in an argument with someone about him being “the best backup center in the country”…. He’s like 8 of his last 60 from 3..

 

[Leelnd]

I wish Z would stop trying to swat everything. Sometimes a good contest would be better.

 

[QCIlliniFan73]

Coach Tyler with the F Bomb??

 

[NarrowJ]

Thank goodness they’re starting to call the grabbing and pushing on our defensive rebounds and drives on offense
