Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan

[number1IlliniFan]

Refs are a mystery on what they call

 

[DeonThomas]

Do we think Juwan is already looking forward to how fun the the handshake line will be?

 

[FloridaMan]

May have already been asked… who do our guys- particularly Hawkins and Harmon keep looking at and talking crap to? Whoever it is they’re behind our basket. Coleman has pointed at him after every 3…

I was wondering same. My guess is they are hearing it from the few fans there.

Effort on the boards is tons better tonight.

34 boards for us vs 22 for Michigan. Part of that is poor shooting by them in the 2nd half. We will take it!

Illini setting up an office in Crisler. Rent free.

 

[battle]

Our D has been outstanding in 2nd half

 

[NarrowJ]

Ty and Marcus had best fetch Coleman and Quincy's Gatorades in the locker room after this one

 

[LoveLovie]

Can anyone tell me the last time Juwan beat our Illini??

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Us dominating ScUM at home doesn't make him a good official tho.

Oh, I definitely did not accuse him of being a good official.

 

[spillini]

Maybe the first Illinois game in the history of Illinois games where a stupid technical against us didn’t completely flip the switch and bury us. Credit the good guys — we are playing with some toughness right now.

Would love to see this stat as a +\— in the next 3 mins or so following a tech

We have REALLY picked it up on defense here

I likey!!! Posted at the half if they don't score...Ilini win!!! This kind of defense will determine their legacy if it becomes an every night thing.

With Dainja not getting many minutes, I would've thought Hansberry would've gotten more minutes...has he been in...?

 

[JSpence]

17-2 run for Illinois!

"Our guys fought toe-to-toe with Illinois and were every bit as good as them except for those six minutes that gave them a 17-2 run."

With Dainja not getting many minutes, I would've thought Hansberry would've gotten more minutes...has he been in...?

Out with back spasms

 

[Illinidrew]

With Dainja not getting many minutes, I would've thought Hansberry would've gotten more minutes...has he been in...?

He is still out with back spasms.

Hansberry still out with back issues…

February 2nd, 1994.

 

[CDRUSN]

During halftime, I think Brad clunked their heads together like Moe, and defense/rebounding are night and day this second half.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Nice baby hook there.

 

[abchew2]

Giving Williams open 3s proving to pay off for us.

 

[spillini]

Getting lazy

 

[GallopingGhost]

That was a nice dunk by reed

 

[fatboyslim]

February 2nd, 1994.

Does that even count?

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Can anyone tell me the last time Juwan beat our Illini??

As coach? Never.

Oops...here comes the rain of threes?
