Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[aaron2108]

Trent is in complete attack mode on both ends!

 

[MaineIllini]

Need this clock to keep running. Michigan is bound to have a run coming soon.

 

[Orangetool]

We need to eat clock with each possession.

Math will take over soon.

 

[LoveLovie]

Wake Forest part 2? if it holds?

 

[CentralILifer]

I want to play ball so bad right now. And I played this morning already.

Stop that

 

[Ignatius Shang]

Who will be the 1st seed in Big 10 tournament if we are 16-4 (80%) and Michigan is 14-3 (-0.5, but 82%)? Are there any official explanations on the ranking rules when a team play less than 20 teams in a season?

 

[JSpence]

Maybe scUM should've played us a couple weeks ago when we weren't quite so confident.

I made this comment elsewhere on the internet and got an earful. I can't wait.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Final 4 effort tonight! Please bring this in the tourney.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Trent has absolutely shut Smith down. So impressive

 

[skyIdub]

Kicking scUM arse in Ann Arbor..minus Ayo....is the exact schadenfreude I want carved on my headstone. Sh#t, maybe I'll get my first tattoo of this moment.

 

[CDRUSN]

Please Hammer. Don't hurt em! OK maybe some hurt.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Still A LOT of game left. We have to keep playing smart

 

[FromTheLogo]

Don't even care what the numbers are after this game. Trent Frazier has been hands down the most dominating player tonight. Poise, clutch, D..... Senior Trent!

 

[hoopsfan47]

I almost think it's really the "D" --- that's causing all those misses.

The defense is phenomenal and the primary factor in Michigan's problems in scoring.

Don't care. Win or lose this game, I want the 2 seed.

 

[trtl]

Davis just flails around, feet going hither and yon, and throws the ball up.

Agree! Both hither AND yon!

 

[Retro62]

Yep...and Howard will win COY while BU isn't even on the final list.

No kidding!

 

[illiniu]

Love to see the guys having fun.

That's the name of the game: Fun City. I think we got guys who are interested in funiosity with a coach who is encouraging more funiosity. Win or lose, it's been a great season - and it's not over.

 

[MaineIllini]

For the older Illini fans this game has that final 89 regular season feel all over it.

Was thinking the same thing. Keith Jackson called that game. I recall him saying, as they went to timeout commercial, “These Illini look awfully good to me.”

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Wake Forest part 2? if it holds?

If this holds, I think it's better than WF because of being on the road and without our best player. It's just insane what we're doing. We are a complete team right now. Let's finish this!!!

 

[chrisRunner7]

Illini bench might be in the running for MVP of this game... the enthusiasm is amazing... they're so loud

Also, Dickenson runs kind of funny

 

[azillini1]

Wagner still with 2 points. Leading Michigan scores are Brooks and Smith with 7.

No, even BU said he has no clue how this would be resolved.

Ayo? Is that you?
