Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[InDaAZ]

Ty’s defensive philosophy:

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We actually own Minnesotawhy does it feel like it’s so easy to play against them for the guys every year

Basically we are to Minnesota what Maryland is to us right now. For whatever reason some teams just never seem to match up right.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Haha the stripes are killing Minny

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Great take by RJ.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

THAT'S the Melendez I have been waiting for!

 

[1970 John]

We're getting away with a ton of fouls around the basket, but hey, if they aren't calling them, keep doing it

They are too.

 

[socalini]

Mayer could get another double-double. Harris also in range....

 

[CDRUSN]

The Illini look like Hickory out there. I half expect us to run the picket fence.

 

[FloridaMan]

They are too.

 

[skyIdub]

I ONLY SHOW UP FOR SECOND HALF DESTRUCTION!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Haha the stripes are killing Minny

I can say that the last 2 games the refs have been calling the game in a manner more beneficial to us than to our opponent.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Dainja has to learn that sometimes you are beaten - don't try to block everything.

 

[zentrails]

Sencire Brown

Trent Harris LOL

I don't understand why Johnson isn't going insane on the sidelines.

Just a personality-less performance in all respects from the Gophers.

Either our last few opponents really suck or we are playing more like I thought we could. This looks more like the team at the beginning of the year.

Also Bardo is my favorite announcer.

He just needed to wall up on that last one…
He’ll learn.

 

[FloridaMan]

We're getting called for fouls Minny commits on their own teammates now?

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Big Ten call there. We don’t want too much athleticism

 

[New Creation]

Horrible calls by these refs. Trying to keep the vegas odds closer.

CHA DIDNT EVEN TOUCH HIM ..

 

[Jon]

Feel like we're getting away with fouls, but Coleman is just getting screwed

 

[FloridaMan]

I'm sure there was no foul there on Shannon, JFC!

Better be a flagrant here.

 

[New Creation]

TSJ down. Cheap shot by Minny.

Young coach. Hasn't quite figured out there's a thing as a good technical at times. It often will buy a coach a few consecutive calls and could change how the refs call the game

 

[Jon]

Tough stretch for TSJ, got tripped into a pick and then elbowed in the lane

 

[CentralILLini]

Dirty elbow
