Game Thread: Illinois at Arizona

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I think my only complaint in the 1st half is that Nico could’ve been t’d up three separate times, and all three times he got a staredown/talking to by the ref instead.

Playing the radio call of Deron's 3 in '05.

So Sean Miller got into no trouble ??

NCAA hammer has not dropped yet but he says he had no knowledge. Yeah right....

The great part about this second half is that we're essentially playing with house money. This isn't a game we're supposed to win, yet here we are, in the game and playing well. Let's play loose.

Heads up: the P-12 bills itself as “the conference of champions.” Not sure why. In revenue sports they aren’t close

No I get that. I undoubtably support him. I just feel that Griffin deserves more minutest than him at this point. He's been a relative non-factor for two plus seasons. I feel Griffin gives us a better chance of winning when he's playing, in general.

I agree, and I think that is how it's playing out going forward. I'm fine with that. Our teams have always had bit players or role player that we love just as much as the starters. DMW is one of those players, and he's legacy. He's busting his arse every day and earning minutes. He's not going to light up the score, but he absolutely brings valuable minutes to this team.

AG can't play all of those minutes.

They have the most combined national titles in Division I. Mostly because of USC, UCLA and Stanford

Look at your boy, Mannion, the moment he saw Cockburn for the first time.

Lmao!

Here he is guarding the perimeter....

Statistically we are playing solid ball except TO’s. We have too many good guards for 11 first half turnovers.

Great first half. Keep red head in check and run other shooters off the line and we should win this game.

 

[Deleted member 652751]

Ugh another TO to start second half

 

[Hopingfor500]

There is absolutely no downside here. Getting in this kind of game, on the road, this early in the season....will only pay dividends.

 

[Deleted member 652751]

Two turnovers

 

[Oldhickory]

Ayo has to shoot that 3

 

[CogDog]

Dosunmu has 4 turnovers...he’s really going to have to turn it on.

A lot of historic there. Last 10 years not so much.

 

[Deleted member 652751]

Nice Ayo!

 

[PNWIllini]

We got to clean this stuff up

 

[skyIdub]

We are not polished down low.

 

[PNWIllini]

Kofi looks frustrated

 

[Deleted member 652751]

Man double digit TO's this early cannot happen

 

[spillini]

can we restart this half?
