Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[ILLINI IN NE]

DRE!

 

[LoveLovie]

Weak call imo on the three but we’ll take it!!

 

[azillini1]

How long has it been since Kipper hit a three?

 

[Halloweenie]

Other than steal, Griffin not doing much

 

[skyIdub]

Quick whistles. Ref's don't want this to get physical. Lame.

DRE!

As far as having an appropriate last name, I don't think any Illini will ever top Kenny Battle, but Andres Feliz sure makes me happy.

He isn’t fouling so that’s a start

This is like a WWF match.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Good hustle by Haircut Kipper there

 

[spillini]

We can out-tough these guys if the refs keep letting them play

 

[chrisRunner7]

Glad we have the lead but I don't think we've thrown the ball inside once so far

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Refs good so far. We’ve been a little sloppy and not great shooting... but pretty good start overall.
This is fun

 

[JJE]

To me the longer we keep this one ugly the better. Keep Iowa's three point shooters out of rhythm.

Not sure what you are watching--Kofi and Giorgi v.s. Garza has looked like some weird mix of basketball and wrestling. I know they love wrestling in that state but sheesh.

Garza has already thrown enough elbows and upper body blows to foul out in most other conferences. Seems like an incredibly talented jerk.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Lot of quick 3's get the ball to Kofi please

Having trouble getting into the middle of that zone.

Tried twice. Turned over twice.

Does Whitney Mercilus have a younger, hoops-proficient brother or cousin?

Watched Garza and Giorgi B wrestling. If the refs let that go, Garza isn't going to have anything left. He can't do that with Kofi and Giorgi B all game.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Gotta be pleased at the 12 minute mark. Up 1 and DMW has 2 fouls. Feliz picking him up nicely!

 

[Hopingfor500]

Sure he is. TJ doesn't have to play.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Thinking AG will have to open things up for us.

On the flip side of KB there was Olaf Blab. That's how old I am. I ate meals in the Snyder/Weston cafeteria with him.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Trent is really hustling on defense. I like the way we're thus far playing their guards.

 

[sully]

dang Kofi. Gotta not fumble that!

Iowa doing great job on Kofi. We’re doing same on Garza. Good game so far!
