Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[sully]

Skyy high baby!

I hope our players don't let the stupid maryland student section get to them. We can win this game!

TSJ 3 ball is way off after getting smacked. Gotta be due to his eye.

 

[ILLFAN67]

TSJ those 3 attempts, no bueno. How about no more 3’s until we stitch the eye up properly

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Hawkins got flung outta bounds there by #13. Unreal

 

[Clngpl94]

Would be nice if they'd let us be as aggressive as them... we'd be blowing them away!!

 

[jumpingjack]

Did I just hear a F C Hawkins chant ?

It's been going on for awhile but that's ok because we're about to beat this poverty program

 

[HailtotheChief]

Hawkins did good not to lose his mind. He was flat out shoved out of bounds on that one. Good grief!

 

[Da88]

Those airballs have to be from his hit to the head.

 

[Godard]

Perfect time for Maryland's luck at the three point line to run dry. Really proud of how this team has battled back, regardless of final score. We are the real deal.

 

[Greensboro]

Big time bucket by Sky.

That shot reminds me of D Will

 

[Baskins Tiger]

Shannon needs to drive the ball, the bandage is messing with depth perception

Yeah, its swelling too

 

[Ryllini]

Their fans are ruthless

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow. We’re still in this game, but 2 wide open TSJ 3 airballs. I wonder if his vision is affected or something.

Cut over the eye, might have blurred vision. As they say in boxing, aim for the middle one.

All this does is reinforce my belief after the Vegas tourney that even this early on...making TONS of defensive mistakes...and having some terrible shooting droughts...we are still finding ways to compete and win.

These freshmen are getting firehose fed and we will be really good because of it.

 

[dbeverly26]

What was the red saying to Hawkins, you shouldn’t have gotten in the way of that guy’s forearm?

 

[Chad Fleck]

Is Coleman all that hateable? I don't get it.

 

[1970 John]

Win or lose… we have responded. I’m impressed.

NO MORAL VICTORIES

 

[HailtotheChief]

I wanted one more pass to Skyy after hitting the last one.

Man they blew that one on Hawk. I rewound it n he was shove out omg

 

[Iamgroot]

Wow. We’re still in this game, but 2 wide open TSJ 3 airballs. I wonder if his vision is affected or something.

I was wondering the same thing its been a couple minutes since it happened so you know it's got to be swelling up

 

[Illini_Jack]

Win or lose, I love our team's fight

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow is that a soft foul call, lol.

 

[PNWIllini]

Its like listening to a Maryland home broadcast

 

[Sean8328]

I hate to harp on the officiating but goodness its been poop soup.

 

[Rusty]

Is Coleman all that hateable? I don't get it.

Facial expression, mouth open, always looks surprised..His 1st 2 years, I used to scream at the tv "shut up and just play"

Drive it to the bucket
