Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[ChiTown]

Every time I think we’re about to pull away they just have a little run.

 

[DeeIL89]

Need to do better preventing transition fast breaks from Michigan State. Spartans' offense is pretty much built on getting transition buckets.

 

[SprintingShellyClark]

Anyone else dislike Fears more than Morez?

 

[Naborman88]

Tyler the wunderkind needs to draw up a play to give KW a step

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

It wouldn't be a game thread without gross over exaggerations.

 

[Oracle21]

MSU runs literally one set on offense. It’s a pin down to get a guy a midrange jumper. If you just keep them out of transition they got nothing bc Fears refuses to shoot

I think Illinois just has too many shot makers to lose this game. We will hit enough 3s to win comfortably

Sparty shooting it above their weight class this half. How long can they keep it up?

 

[BWBW]

We need a 10 point run.

 

[maxatlof]

I hate our offense so far in this second half

 

[HailtotheChief]

MSU is so lucky jake has missed shots he normally doesnt

 

[GTL Adam]

Check back in on February 27th

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This broadcast is really an MSU lovefest.

 

[Illini1977]

Game exactly as I expected, let’s go boys!

Also, our spacing this game is not good, especially compared to last NW game. Watch the short corners.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Needed that bunny from Mirk

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Gotta hit some of these shots if we want to win.

 

[DeeIL89]

Got to make that Mirk.

 

[Champaign88]

Have to make easy shots. We had a chance to be up 11 or 13 and just keep missing open ones.

 

[illiniguy24]

Would love to see us draw up a play for Keaton

 

[Retro62]

Just pushed Wagler to the floor.

MSU recovers about 200 times faster than NW.

Agree with the spacing.

 

[illinifreak30]

We’ve gone ice cold

 

[BT262]

If they show that freaking dunk again…

 

[FloridaMan]

Some. One. Step. Up!!!!
