Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[PassingBy]

Nothing has changed

We have so many weapons to choose from.....Trent will get going in the second half......

I've watched 3-4 goofer games this year and I know their staff and players are thinking or saying the Illini has the best defense that they have seen this year

Plummer has yet to hit his first 3, too, amiright?

Not wanting to be redundant...but being redundant...I really like what Omar is doing in this game. It is extremely important that he makes a positive contribution and he did it in spades without scoring. DMFW dong DMFW things as well...but we can do without the shake and bake (lol). The rest of the guys being everyday guys....just like Superman.

Now, can they keep it up and keep turnovers in single digits? Man would I love that along with a 20 pt. win. And I don't think anyone broke a sweat. Need some Melendez.

Minnie has no real answer for Kofi's newest game.

Player development.

Yup

Doesn’t seem like we are playing sharp. Which we expected. Let’s regroup and win this half by another ten.

 

[WyattEarp]

Who knew...Kofi is amphibious!!! must be a good thing...huh!

Yes, I was also puzzled.

 

[LouHenson]

It is funny I also think Omar played just very solid. If he can just play solid D for like 10 min per game we are cooking. When we play PU we will need his and BBV’s fouls I think.

We are clearly the better team and the only way they beat us is being stupid with the ball. Possessions count. Maximize ours and minimize theirs. I have spoken.

 

[CDRUSN]

The home team has got to be down in that Gopher Hole at halftime thinking, how can we battle back against these varmint exterminators with all the weapons they have?

 

[frozenrope9190]

Does it seem like our 'ugly stretches' occur around the same time in a given half? Between the 4-8 minute mark? Or was that just this game and the Iowa game?

 

[2qtslow]

This has been a fairly boring game so far, and I am just fine with that, No 3s from Plummer and no slams for Kofi, just a bunch of everyday guys running up an everyday double digit lead,

 

[hoopsfan47]

CoHawk and Omar with 9 boards....that's what I'm talkin' about!!!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Just the way I would have started the half!!

 

[Orangetool]

We all should really take some time and sit back and take in these good days, these Kofi games.

Not likely that we will see another Illini like him.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Kofi has to know if he has the ball for long he is getting a double and pass out instantly.

 

[Miles Leonard]

It's not a flop when you get wrecked by an absolute train like Kofi.

 

[dbeverly26]

zzzzzzz

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Well, can't ask for a better start to the second half. Holy heck.

Words of wisdom.

 

[Orangetool]

Who did these guys play to get to 10 and 1 ?

 

[hoopsfan47]

I should be coaching this team....scoring the first nine of the second half is exactly what I would have had them do!!!

 

[BDMAN]

Words of wisdom.

Indeed, you have Oh wise one!!
