Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[Hat-trick_Kane]

Curbelo needs to sit

Enough is enough

Bad currently outweighing the good

We need long, calm possessions without sloppy nonsense. In other words the exact opposite of Curbelo.

10 TOs n counting fir TF and AC. We really arent playing very well but winning...hopefully. Fir being up 10 at Duke I should be happy but so frustrated with the TOs.

 

[Lexis20]

Curbelo plays like he is still in high school at times

 

[JSpence]

Curbelo trying to become a meme!

 

[Steelyunk]

on the bench.....yes.

Well they're both turnover prone but Andre’s upside is way bigger.

 

[azillini1]

Cuerbelo shows flashes of brilliance. but is very careless with the ball... Frazier has also had a lot of TO's the last 2 or 3 games.

 

[Clemillini21]

That block/deflection by Monte. Then the effort from Miller to dive for a loose ball at risk of hurting himself, loving the dedication from the guys tonight doing whatever to bring home this win! Hope Miller is good after that, definitely deserves to be for the dedication he gave on that play

 

[Orange Wave]

Anxiety level rising as we let them hang around

 

[SuperMetroid]

Getting close to Ayo Time. Let’s close this thing out.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Just. Win.

 

[CentralILLini]

This is Dukes final push...just need to get outta’ here with a win.

 

[MaineIllini]

This game feels like it’s gonna end close.

 

[logjam]

Go Time!

 

[thehass]

This is one ragged looking game. We don't look like a #6 team and Duke doesn' look like a # 10 team. Hope we can hang on.

[Hat-trick_Kane]

There we go boys!!!

 

[Retro62]

That was pretty

Curbelo highlights:

 

[hoopsfan47]

Curbelo and Frazier with 5 TO's each.

 

[JSpence]

This game feels like it’s gonna end close.

Don't worry, it'll be a free throw contest.

..

Wait, WHAT?!

 

[Lexis20]

Well they're both turnover prone but Andre’s upside is way bigger.

Trent is the best defensive player on the team...Curbelo isn't

 

[LostinNebraska]

Game 5 of his and Miller's collegiate careers, so I'll take it. If we're still on this roller coaster of emotion in January, I'll worry about it

 

[Goode-for-3]

Just play smart and keep TV Ted out of it

 

[altenberger22]

We are too sloppy to be a even a SS16 team

I can recall early in the season in both 1988-89 and 2004-05 ---- saying "wow, I have so much confidence in our guards bringing the ball up the court. These guys really protect the ball." It was Bardo/Gill/L.Smith and then Deron/Dee/Luther.

I can't yet say that this season. But we do have the potential. It's still early.
