Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[illini0440]

His body language has been terrible for several games, even before the illness.

His body language on the bench has been fine. He is in the doghouse though

 

[SuperMetroid]

Tired of seeing Patterson push off with his off arm. Illini getting right tonight. Good to see!

Yeah he’s gotten away with it all night long

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

It’s Minnesota!

 

[Mistakenj]

Keep in mind this is Minnesota, although they’ve been laying better at home lately. I’ll eat my words about KJ….hopefully this is not a 1 game type of thing and him and Will can push this year forward in the back stretch if the season

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

We all deserved this one. Welcome back KJ

 

[TheodoreRex]

over his "flu"?

Is he sick?

 

[sacraig]

Yep. This is the type of effort that can actually start a hot streak we all keep waiting for. Let’s finish this strong.

I think it's less about starting a hot streak and more about breaking the slump. Our normal play WAS a hot streak until USC (or so).

Does Jake Davis shooting remind anyone of Sean Harrington, (old timers question) not flashy just money.

Wait, this is an old timers question?

 

[WyattEarp]

It's wild how many quality minutes we have gotten from Jake so far this season. Dude just plays his role and gives 100%. Love him for that.

Yeah he doesn’t get enough love. He really doesn’t.

Wow is Will on tonight

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

This is the best basketball I've seen from our squad this year. Roll with it, fellas, win or lose.

And never give an inch.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Will Riley… wow…

 

[RDS]

Where there’s a Will there’s a way!!!!

 

[HailtotheChief]

Up 20 and a bad ankle, maybe put Rez back in with 3 fouls.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Playing smart and finding easy baskets opens up the entire court and gives you the confidence to hit your open threes.

 

[DeeIL89]

By running this kind of offense, we can do better with the 3s as a result.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Maybe Dr. Jekyll has finally left our team.

 

[PopChampaign]

Will a certified hooper

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Ok Will….save some, my brotha!

 

[Jimbo]

Wait, this is an old timers question?

I know. That one hurt a little.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Will Riley

 

[TheChief4Life]

He’s on fire!

 

[New Creation]

What will Riley see’s right now looking at the basket.

 

[Champaign88]

Will MF Riley. Wow!!!
