Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[LoveLovie]

I like Adam better.

 

[logjam]

This is more fun than Baylor so far. Waiting for my Verdonk sighting, now would be a great time.

I like Adam better.

He is as advertised. Two and done. Curbelo in three years is Deron Williams on steroids and cocaine.

 

[PapaKvells]

Giotgi with the Kofi impersonation!

 

[GallopingGhost]

Good quarter. Keep it up. No runs for the blue devils, don’t let up

 

[DB11Headband]

We have some special freshmen, folks

 

[JLL48]

I’m very skeptical of games when we get out to a big lead early BUT this certainly reduces the amount of ESPN commentary we have to hear about how great Duke is.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Only thing I don't like is Duke in the bonus so early. Like watching them shooting 18-footers and hopefully not getting to the line

 

[Ats123]

Our freshmen

 

[jason88cubs]

Once Curbelo cleans it up, watch out

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Let's keep at it. You know Duke and their refs will make an inevitable run.

Especially when Penn State and Rutgers are leading, the refs will try to get the challenge to 5-2 instead of 6-1 plus ESPN will do their best to keep their favorite from losing

I could be wrong, but I don't think he gets his first minutes (of the season) in this game, unless the game is out-of-hand in the second half.

 

[BMoreIllini]

Kofi is so big he doesn't get foul calls. Ugh.

 

[Retro62]

Are the refs trying to even this out already? Kofi got fouled pretty clearly.

 

[JamesB]

Wow Kofi got hacked in a big way. Surprise his forearm wasn’t fractured.

 

[spillini]

We need to keep the foot on the gas

 

[PNWIllini]

Evening everyone. Frazier mugged no call

 

[DocMorgan]

Get Ted the hell out of here!

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Great D, terrible O, and swallowed whistles the last few

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

It bothers me how quickly this team goes from playing well to looking completely lost....c’mon guys...stop being so damn inconsistent

 

[PNWIllini]

Kofi’s face said it all

 

[skyIdub]

Kofi needs to be ready to receive the ball.....his anticipation is nowhere near NBA ready.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Kofi hacked. No call.

Frazier absolutely mugged. No call.

Welcome to life for visiting teams at Cameron.

 

[GallopingGhost]

This duke run brought to you in part by... refs missing fouls...

 

[Retro62]

Okay, so Duke is not capable of fouling...got it.
