Better D so far this half. Keep it up!!!

 

[New Creation]

strong start to the half again. Let’s wear them down now.

 

[Thompson]

Ty loves playing Michigan teams, he has a little extra every time. He’s gotta finish over Dug tho

 

[JSpence]

First half started 7-2. Then 11-2.

Second half started 8-2

EDIT: Now 11-4. Good job, guys.

We're certainly playing them better than we played MD, thank goodness

 

[Punesguy]

That not saying anything. Both are terrible.

I see you young fella!!!

CH came into the game hitting 35.5% from 3... a big improvement over last year and he is 3 for 4 tonight

 

[illiniguy24]

Foot on their throat. Come on fellas

 

[GallopingGhost]

Leaving Luke wide open is a death sentence

 

[Bassinillini]

Is Dug fonetik?

 

[zentrails]

Didn't like that foul by Coleman, no chance to block that one.

Put me in the camp of "Glad he made the move from MI to IL"

 

[abchew2]

Q gonna get a double double...I hope. 9 pts. and a dozen boards. Having another Q game.

Looking like he may have just had an off game against Maryland. Really happy he isn’t letting it become a trend.

Dis funny game thread

 

[Miles Leonard]

Leaving Goode wide open behind the three point line is certainly a choice

I wish he'd shoot more even with a hand in his face

Something like 20-45 going into tonight. I think that is since coming back from injury

If he misses both FT's, then its a good foul. Steal any momentum they might try to muster.

Shot selection, shot selection, shot selection. He's been a good 3pt shooter when shooting open in rhythm. The problem is that up until this season, those were the minority of threes he was taking.

These two teams are last in the conference in steals this year. I believe that is one sign we lack quick guards

Quick guards usually mean small guards who have to be quick. I really like the tandem of Ty and TSjr. Those guys are really quick for their size and make those water bugs have to drive into Hawk and Q who then make them shoot circus shots. DGL is plenty quick, but he is a defensive liability at this point. Nico even more so, as is Harmon. Our opponents were not effective from the arc due to TSjr. and Ty. Pick your poison...but we need TSjr. back to be any threat for FF. If not, I still love this team but they do not have quite enough weapons to beat 5 good teams in a row that they will need to do in the dance.
