Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[Steelyunk]

Time for curbelo to takes trents spot?

Man...if I'm BU and I see 5 orange jerseys stand and watch a long rebound again I'd lose my mind.

Izzo would have an aneurysm coaching this team. Defensive rebounding definitely needs some work. It's nice to be up 14 even with the issues we've seen tonight.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

If we would just rebound, we would be up 20

 

[altenberger22]

DMW defense. Stellar!

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Damonte. You complete me.

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

Oh...there’s Miller...getting injured...lovely...

 

[DB11Headband]

Time to swap Trent for Curbelo

We're the number 1 rebounding team in the Big 10.

We’re really going to call our play “Pee Wee level” when we’re up double digits at Duke, who has won 97% of their home noncons under K. Got it.

Absolutely, and I was referring to the turnovers. No excuse for the kinds of blunders this team makes at this level. It is horrendous. Not knocking the shooting, we know this team can go cold also. Just not a very well played game from a fundamental POV by the Illini.

Curbelo taketh away, and Curbelo giveth

The ball probably gets excited when Curbelo touches it. Who the hell knows where it may go next!

 

[sacraig]

When Curbelo isn’t infuriating, he is exhilarating

DMFW with a nasty stop - that's insane timing

 

[Go Nats 88 Illini]

Have to settle down. Break the press and then set it up.

 

[LeinieGuy]

Another TO........

 

[Retro62]

He may have been hit, but when you’re out of control they ain’t giving you that

 

[altenberger22]

Time for curbelo to takes trents spot?

on the bench.....yes.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sit that kid or this game could be an L.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Why are they doing this to me?

 

[skyIdub]

I love Curbelo!

@#@#$ Curbelo!

I love Curbelo!

God @##$# Curbelo!

I love Curbelo!

Son of a @#$# Curbelo!

I love Curbelo!

WTF Curbelo?

 

[GallopingGhost]

I think I’ve said Yes, Curbelo! And No, Curbelo!! More times than any other player tonight

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We are too sloppy to be a even a SS16 team

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Why did we let them hang around!! Infuriating

 

[Chillinini]

This is where you show if you deserve a top 10 ranking. Time to man up and play with composure.

 

[sacraig]

Brad mouthing "What are you doing? Slow down" while giving Curbelo an incredulous look.

 

[Sizzler22]

Why doesn’t he pass after hitting half court? I just don’t understand the kid, needs to make better decisions at this point of the game.
