Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[PasadenaIllini]

The IU board of trustees is holding an emergency meeting at halftime to discuss Mike Woodson's ineptitude.

 

[FloridaMan]

So, the big question: does Indiana make it to 60 for the game? Let's hope not lol

 

[Butters]

 

[altgeld88]

Have we or any other team ever clocked 60 in the first half in the fake Assembly Hall?!

 

[zentrails]

Let's get to 60 points before the half.

KJ: "OK"

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

That S!?T just doesn’t happen in the Big Ten on the road and now it’s happening twice in the same season!

 

[skyIdub]

I know a lot of us have been watching Illini basketball for a long time. Oregon is one thing...but this is....this is something else.

 

[foby]

KJ is so shifty

Had to read that twice. LOL

 

[tpaillini]

ahh the beautiful site of the candy cane crowd with hands to face at half

 

[SuperMetroid]

Watching the hayseeds putting on their coats to leave at halftime…chef’s kiss

 

[illinifan1987]

This is your main takeaway from a first-half road blowout?

Aha! I knew it!

 

[DeeIL89]

This is what happens when our guys crash the board. Awesome half. Don't stop. Can we get to 80 points before 10 minutes in the 1nd half? Lol.

 

[zentrails]

Effort. KJ is def a difference maker, but this isn't all him. Tomi, Bos, DGL, Hum, Riley, Rez....effort all around.

and Tre as usual

 

[Jimbo]

 

[foby]

Decent 1st half

 

[Olaf Blab]

KJ makes a huge difference..Also Indiana is poorly coached and unathletic.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

There are days I love living in Indiana , this would be one

 

[kyillinifan]

My wife having MRI now. Listening to WDWs. What a first half. Keep it up baby. Here in Louisville,Ky.

 

[Oracle21]

I’ve never seen an Illinois team with as big of gap between performance levels as this team has.

This game, especially coming off Iowa, likely gets Mike Woodson fired by the end of the season if not before

 

[illinipioneer]

I haven’t laughed this hard watching a sporting event in my entire life

Struggling with his outside shooting and can't handle the physicality in the paint.

Will is struggling offensively. That said, as long as he listens to the coaches and plays with focus and intensity, he is valuable to this team. He is doing that. He will get better, give him some patience and support.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

So are the USC loss is the start of a 3-game losing streak hot takers doubling down on that?

 

[skyIdub]

Loosier fans are like "it's nicer outside in the freezing cold. Let's go there."

 

[CentralILLini]

USC was just an aberration.

 

[Idea Gardener]

I don't know about y'all but KJs forearm looks good to me.
