Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[GallopingGhost]

Make the team timeout the under 12. God that frustrates me

 

[CasualObserver05]

Hummel is the best in the business.

As a Illini and Bulls fan, this can't be said enough. Love when he's on the call!

 

[Illini Farmer]

First foul of half at 11 minute mark

 

[PapaKvells]

My biggest concern is 4-0 on fouls this half.

 

[Epsilon]

Still looks like we’re lacking energy out there, even after taking the lead finally.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Lot of rest here for Kofi and Belo. Gotta get nasty.

 

[InDaAZ]

Big thanks to Hummel and Bennetti for actually talking about the game in front of them on ESPN on a Saturday.

Anti-Waltons

 

[Mr. Roberts]

First foul of half at 11 minute mark

And I wish they hadn't called it.

 

[WeWillWhen]

He is very, very good

Hated him at Purdue. Love him on broadcasts.

I hate complaining about refs, but coincidentally the ref calls a fouls as Kofi fights thru a hack and scores but it’s before the shot.

Frustrating at best.

Honestly, I kinda want them to keep TJD in the game. Race and Durr were doing a much better job on both ends in the 1st half.

Can’t wait until the last minute when we have a slim lead and IU can’t put us on the line because they only have two team fouls

This made me think of the Purdue game the 05 year when this very thing happened.

Might be a strange time to say this, but I feel like this team is special. These guys fight and find ways to win that I haven't felt in a while. That's saying a lot given last year's team getting a #1 seed and winning the BTT. To get through that stretch where they weren't playing well and haven't gotten a single foul call, and yet take the lead....man, so impressed.

My biggest concern is 4-0 on fouls this half.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but with Indiana bring ranked 260 something in free throw percentage...that might not be an awful thing.

4-1

He’s really good, but he is so worried about Kofi, he rushes his shot a ton on him.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Hated him at Purdue. Love him on broadcasts.

Never hated him there. Kramer, on the other hand...

 

[CasualObserver05]

Belo really looking to get Kofi the ball.

 

[iFlyBy]

Grandison is also quick about getting our opponent the ball.

Where you at, bud?

 

[derrick6]

Hated him at Purdue. Love him on broadcasts.

Met him picking up food in Minneapolis several years ago. Confirmed he is/was an Illini fan but not recruited.

 

[pruman91]

TJD with another regular game for him....missed a 4 foot bunny by a mile ...falls down loses possession TWICE....nobody is gonna change my mind that he is the most overrated player in college BB....last I will say today about it , but just watch and you will see it.......

 

[UCantHideYer]

Foul 4.something on Doerr.

 

[DICKnaggie]

AC dribbling a lot. Need to move the ball

 

[madillini4]

Hated him at Purdue. Love him on broadcasts.

He wanted to be an Illini. Didn’t get an offer.

 

[Illini_Jack]

I love how the announcers refer to Indiana fans as "educated basketball fans" and then the crowd proceeds to boo every foul called against IU
