Game Thread: Illinois at Marquette

[Epsilon]

WTF. Take care of the ball.

 

[hiberto]

finally a foul on marquette

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

15 points and ten turnovers so far in this rock fight

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Curbelo has to get his head out of his…

He's still getting used to BBV's braids.

 

[BashCtIllini]

He's still getting used to BBV's braids.

then we are going to lose, because there is no getting used to that

 

[skyIdub]

Rebounding gonna save our arse

 

[Pikeillinifan]

At least we’re killing them on the boards.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

That's a good foul. Make Lewis earn it.

 

[Chillinini]

Rebounding and attacking the glass is great, even without Kofi

 

[Illini_Jack]

We're playing D and rebounding, but man our offense needs work

 

[Ramrod2010]

So this is gonna be a Trent Frazier game, huh?

 

[skyIdub]

There's the Trent Frazier I was hoping to see this year.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Looks like it might be a Frosh Trent night.

 

[illiniguy24]

Not loving what I’m seeing from Payne. Trent on the other hand

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Hawkins is not as good as he thinks he is.

That's the problem with him going off on lesser competition. The team needs to get opportunities and looks for proven players right now. We got too many underclassmen tryna get cute.

We shouldn't be trying to run offense through Hawkins or Payne so much.

 

[pvaughn8]

Did we get Marquette mixed up with Mizzou? This is bragging rights garbage

 

[frozenrope9190]

Frazier's gonna be the hero of this game.

After 8 minutes, despite the sloppiness, we look a lot better than Marquette. Just have to calm down, and maybe it's Frazier that does it.

 

[Ignatius Shang]

Frazier is the person you can rely on in these games

 

[Chad Fleck]

I love how Curbelo sees when a guy is on his heels in transition and just turns on the jets. The guy either has to foul or let Belo cruise past him.

 

[skyIdub]

Maybe the rust on Curbelo after concussion protocol is a little thicker than we think. Trent and DMFW need to assert their Sr leadership here.

 

[grantlab]

Has kind of gone quietly, but J Grand has made some great plays at both ends of the floor. There’s a reason Marquette isn’t making its layups.

 

[CogDog]

Fortunately, Trent really came to play. Sloppy thus far.

 

[thehass]

Curbelo has to get his head out of his…

!!!.

 

[PapaKvells]

I love Curbelo, but he has to focus on running the team, not making Sportscenter highlights.

 

[skyIdub]

I'm trying to keep track of obvious missed looks with the passing during the pressure. They've missed 4 easy looks so far. Heads need to be up and not afraid to make the pass.
