Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[CleverHandle1]

This has a Missouri-vibe type game to it. No intensity, yet. DD with the dunk, hopefully, they kick it up a notch.

 

[Godard]

On pace for 40 fouls?

Is that counting or not counting the one on Dainja's dunk?

What's worse, the Mildcat's uniforms or Underwood's blazer?

I like that blazer. But I have a bright orange one too, so .

I need someone to update our basketball gifs with this years players..

Why is an Evanston school able to rep for Chicago anyway. Weird. Notre Dame doesn’t fly Chicago colors

Notre Dame apparently doesn’t feel the need for desperate marketing ploys.

This is really, really hard to watch.

 

[Naborman88]

Someone please tell me what our offense is? Idk

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I need to find out where Brad got that jacket

I have some ties from the Johnny Carson collection that would pair with it nicely.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Let's be solid in D and take care of the ball?

 

[727ill]

Having Coleman and Dain on the floor just kills you honestly. Two non shooters makes it hard to run offense.

So I watched video of the spread offense and it doesn't look like this...

Please put Epps in for Clark

Immediate results

 

[Chillinini]

Something is off. The lack of intensity, focus, preparedness....at the start of each game. Troubling.

I was only counting our fouls…
That was a sweet dunk!

 

[New Creation]

NW .. are they really the #1 2% D in the country?

 

[SaintLIllini]

epps is just so much better than clark

One can also get from Chicago to Evanston in under 20 minutes. Notre Dame about 5 times that.

Great drive and kick by Epps. Good bury by Mayer

 

[Jimbo]

Fortunately Northwestern doesn’t have the offense to put up a big number on us so we should be able to keep this close.

 

[Idea Gardener]

Of all the nights to do their white out, why the Illinois game?

Because for as smart as NU people are, they're also really, really dumb.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We have got to make our open threes in rhythm. We just have to. Not being able to do so is death.

throw Harris in there as well, IMO
