Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[TheDukeUIUC]

Can't just let Fears walk down the court into the lane without any resistance.

I think everyone was tired

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I'm thinking about the Luka Garza quote on that Jake Davis 3. Literally hung on the rim.

They come down immediately and get the bounce on their shot.

That is SUCH bad luck.

Actually calling fouls on MSU in the 2nd half so far..

 

[SuperMetroid]

The next legal screen Cooper sets will be his first

 

[stlrunner]

Not sure how they missed the foul on Wagler’s drive, but I do like the early foul ratio in the 2nd half.

Man, I wish Davis had knocked down that 3…

High knees watching how Mirk runs

 

[Miles Leonard]

Sparty is looking to push after makes or misses. We're starting to jog back on defense.

 

[eas23]

Poor shot selection has led to MSU points literally 5 times in this game.

 

[zentrails]

We miss the hell out of Boswell in this game

naw, just need to knock down more of these wide open 3's we're getting

 

[illinifan1987]

Now it when the starts making those shots

 

[HailtotheChief]

Its freaking huge MSU already has 4 fouls. Rebound, play D and attack the rack! I feel like refs are gonna get whistle happy

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Settling for the long threes. Gotta move the ball inside and find the open guy when MSU collapses

 

[purcy51]

Lmao refs just calling fouls on the one half of the court. Works for me, now

About the time we get in the bonus they'll stop

 

[skyIdub]

We are doing a horrific job stopping the ball. That’s where they are murdering us this game.

You might need to look up "murdering" and get back to us.

 

[BT262]

KW isn’t going to get his points. He needs to stop trying so hard. Their defense on him is great.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

KW needs to keep drawing 3 and start dishing

 

[maxatlof]

We REALLY have. First time I’ve felt this way since the injury

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

We’re getting open looks for 3. Some of these start dropping and we go up big. They don’t have the shooters to hang with us.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Transition game was a bit rough there. Boys weren’t tagging up on offensive rebound attempts letting these thugs get some run outs.

 

[AnnaMay]

Yes, but he is getting fouled too. Needs to realize they aren't going to call them against MSU tonight.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

They are fouling Wagler.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

I think the beloved are playing soft to avoid fouling. Will get aggressive last 10 minutes

 

[IlliniWC]

Some good shots so far, just not falling - Keaton forcing things a bit, missing some open passes this half.

 

[FloridaMan]

Have to start knocking some shots down, especially if we are not going to play any D this half.
