Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[WeWillWhen]

Freshmen!!

Our defense is making them so uncomfortable. Love our chances of winning one in the 50s, and that’s the way this is trending. Keep it up!

When Fletch works his magic on Belo hes gonna be a real problem and wont be here 4 years

 

[logjam]

we look like the better team......

They ain't so bad!

 

[azillini1]

ESPN says we have out-rebounded them so far 19 to 9!!! Let's keep this up.

 

[CentralILifer]

Curbelo has them all on strings. All of them.

 

[LostinNebraska]

we look like the better team......

And that's minus our NPOY candidate!

 

[illini55]

How about Belo for four more years? Who wouldn’t want to play with him?

 

[skyIdub]

Belo and Trent playing loose and free. Love the aggressiveness! Defense is the way.

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Give me an ugly win. I don’t care.

You’re going to get an ugly something, might as well be a win

 

[trtl]

Is it just me or are these refs doing a pretty good job?

 

[CDRUSN]

Belo having quite the game thus far.

Curb Appeal makes the Tasmanian Devil look like a slacker.

 

[logjam]

Belo and Trent playing loose and free. Love the aggressiveness! Defense is the way.

And rebounding brother.

Man o man. Curbelo is playing so in control today. We all have been asking for this kind of controlled aggression from him and here it is

Enough iterations this season and he was bound to converge to a rather tasty equilibrium. The next test is what happens when it's on him to create, it's late, and the game is on the line. That will come, too. I am so looking forward to watching him the next couple seasons.

Freaking Grandison!!! All the little things!

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Both teams are playing great D. Thankfully Belo has been able to squirt into the lane and make some things happen.

 

[purcy51]

I am going to be so ecstatic when we win this without Ayo!!!

 

[altenberger22]

Curbelo may be starting come NCAA Tourney time. (And I was so negative on him earlier this season.)

 

[Retro62]

Win or lose, I can tell you that Michigan has not seen a defense like ours all year.

 

[New Creation]

I don't think Gorgi is a starter.

 

[spillini]

Giorgi’s defense is going to be exploited

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Give me an ugly win. I don’t care.

You’re going to get an ugly something, might as well be a win

 

[altenberger22]

15 turnovers this half maybe?

 

[New Creation]

Miller forgot the ball there..

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I feel like almost all the points we've given up have been when GB is in. I love the guy but his defense has been questionable
