Game Thread: Illinois vs Sam Houston

Tomi launching threes ain’t it.
Our run came by driving the lane. Sigh

He's hitting them, why not?

Sleepwalking through this one

Seems like low effort and sloppy, but no one's gonna care if we win by 10 or 30. Just use it to get as ready as they can be for the next one.

It's been effective tonight, but I'm gonna have to wrap my mind around 14 three attempts from Tomi.

7 for 14 not good enough?!

Our vets showed up tonight.

 

[Jon]

We can score points, that's for sure

Defense still needs a TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN of work

SHS has gotten the lay wayyy too many times

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

Rotation shrunk from 10 to 8 in a real hurry.

Me too, started an hour before tip with a 40 oz beer and fajita's.
Got me some Coors Light, a blanket, and a big flat screen.

Hell yeah brother! I have a few Illini themed IPAs I picked up last time I was on campus, and homemade Chexmix. I’m strapping in for a night of Orange and Blue

Yeah keep shooting them. Just wish he would take most of the from corners then top of key. Efficiency would take a big jump.

If you think our 7’er launching 14 threes a game is our path to success…I suppose it’s good enough.

Pulling away in time for football

Okay wasn’t pretty but we’ve got this. Football time. Let’s go 2-0 tonight

Fagbemi was my cue to flip it to Fox

I really think (hope) Mirk's return improves things not only bc of his individual contributions in the box score, but in terms of teamwork, leadership, communication, etc.
