come on how do you miss that dunk? Can't be leaving points out on the court especially without TSJ today

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

That was a great tap pass by RJ

 

[New Creation]

Epps made a three!

I am sure he is told to shoot that ball today

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

My goodness the refs are letting them play

 

[GallopingGhost]

Actually pretty good start so far. I don’t hate it.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I'm not sure how to interpret my own drinking game rules with Lieb in the game already.

What the heck...DRINK!!

 

[BBlock24]

My goodness the refs are letting them play

I hope they continue to but we’ve seen too many times that in the 2nd half they’ll start calling all the fouls.

 

[Illini8420]

Better than last time so far. Also interesting to see the use of Lieb early

 

[grantlab]

Not bad minutes from Lieb all things considered. Great job stunting on Race Thompson getting him to settle for that tough 2. But… REBOUND!!!!

 

[RML]

Epps a little over-aggessive. Would like to settle down.
Our D look excellent.

All he has to do is be tall and hands up to guard TJD. Not a bad strategy

The Lieb Show

 

[Illini8420]

Keep doing the Epps-Lieb pick and roll

I don't want to overreact, but did CoHawk literally just stand there and watch that long rebound go over his head...and then just turn around and watch them go get it?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Epps is trying too hard right now. Just gotta take a few breaths, no need to force things.

 

[HailtotheChief]

RJ may not have.been fouls but Epps was just bumped hard n fouls in that miss

 

[WWWWRocU]

Der Liebernator has arrived!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Pleased with the first 4 minutes.

 

[HailtotheChief]

He had a lay up and got the crap bumped out of him. Shocked he didn’t fall down. I just rewound it

 

[hoopsfan47]

Stats are actually telling a false narrative. Illini with 0 turnovers and 50% from the arc? Well, there is plenty of time for blundering around. But overall, not a bad start and Lieb looks comfortable.

 

[blife]

If you told me that 2 days ago that we would see Lieb and Rj on the court at the 3 minute mark, I would have told you to put down the crack pipe

 

[skyIdub]

The only answer is to shut down TJD and hope some other clown doesn't get hot.

A good example of CoHawk just going with the flow instead of making an impact in the first two timeouts.

He was the primary defender. I blame the other 2 Illini just standing there watching first.
