Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[CentralILifer]

Rest up at the breaks, Belo.

He's the key to winning this game. Breaking down their defense at will.

We took the initial punch, and now they know this is a winnable game. This will be an epic 2nd half!

 

[BRucks]

Curbelo leading us in points, rebounds and assists.

 

[illinitiger]

Michigan doesn't look like #2....but we don't look like #4. A little sloppy to say least.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Need to see us take advantage the early Dickinson foul trouble with Kofi the rest of the half

 

[illinipimp]

Belo playing well but has taken as many shots as Miller Williams and Frazier combined

 

[DICKnaggie]

All I know is he’s a 6’9” upperclassman who can’t seem to utilize an inch of that size

And why was he fronting a 7 footer 14 feet from the basketball earlier?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Just caught up and read the last two pages. How great is it that we’re leading, on the road, playing #2, without our best player... and half the posts are negative. I guess we’re pretty good.

That happens when 2 teams are playing extremely well on the defensive end

 

[altenberger22]

Dickinson with two fouls. Advantage Kofi.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Belo going to get his trip dub today

Illini might not score enough to get double figure assists. Nice start to a possible second straight B1G FOW.

 

[CDRUSN]

So far for Michigan, she shoe is on the other hand now. We just need to maintain this intensity in the second half.

 

[Epsilon]

That was a total walk!

 

[CarsonHowe_9]

that was a crazy travel

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

That was a travel on Davis.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Well, Davis also clearly traveled.

 

[MiloMinderbender]

Davis looks like he's 30.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

That was a travel on Davis

 

[azillini1]

Let's extend the lead while their big is on the bench

 

[Deleted member 29907]

nice change of pivot foot by Davis - moved it almost a foot or two

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Our guys starting to look like they're having fun. Usually a great sign

 

[altgeld88]

That’s a lot of cliches. I’m gonna set this aside and review it after the game.

I do my best. Sorry that it requires a close read.

 

[CentralILifer]

Kofi is smiling. That's good news.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

What a flop!
