Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[sharpshot16]

I feel so bad for kofi man - dudes getting crushed on every shot.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Kofi having a rough night. That interior bounce pass from Belo was ridiculous

 

[CentralILLini]

Kofi been blocked 5 times tonight

 

[DocMorgan]

I officially hate this crew

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

TV ted cant find his whistle when Kofi gets fouled

It’s the Shaq syndrome...he can’t be hurt so he can’t be fouled

 

[SuperMetroid]

Halfway home still up 14

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

As much trouble as we’re having extending this lead beyond the 10-15 point range Duke is having just as much of a struggle getting it to single digits.

 

[skyIdub]

Sometimes we are just spastic with the ball. Got to be stronger with the ball and to the ball.

I can hear them calling timeout at home. These refs are hot garbage

 

[DocMorgan]

I can’t believe I am going to say this...I wish we had Boroski’s crew

 

[Butters]

It's hard to believe we are holding this lead steady with as many turnovers as we've had this half

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

Ayo can and should close this one out for us...he’s conserved his energy so far tonight so he’s got plenty in reserve to hit that next gear and end this contest.

 

[spillini]

These open looks they're getting makes me nervous for the stretch

 

[JSpence]

Might have been a fan!

 

[aaron2108]

This second half has taken as long as 2020

 

[Retro62]

This is that time when K gets a run out of his team...we have to counterattack

 

[Go Nats 88 Illini]

Kofi needs to stop jumping.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Ayo with a double/double and a needing 5 asst. for a triple.

 

[EthanM]

former serial killer....?

Once a serial killer, always a serial killer.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

I can’t believe I am going to say this...I wish we had Boroski’s crew

That is sad which tells you all you need to know about this crew

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I love the fact that we're up 13 in Cameron and, really, this has not been our best game. Our ceiling is very, very high.

 

[logjam]

Cockburn has had like 5 looks down low where he 100% should have easily gotten a bucket. Just not quite as imposing as he needs to be.

Seems a 1/2 click slow.

 

[Retro62]

Kofi needs to stop jumping.

Well, stop jumping so hard at defenders and start jumping hard under the basket...with the ball

 

[Steelyunk]

I’ve always hated how we kvetch about refs but damn, tonight it’s warranted.
