Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Miles Leonard]

Yay we're running good offense!

 

[Bigtex]

Hello anyone know what's up with Rodgers

Tough to play another non offensive player

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

nice series there

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Okay, well heck, I guess BU yelling his brains out at half was the key. F civility, I guess. Keep it up!!

 

[HailtotheChief]

Hell...o. Penetrate ! Boom

 

[ORANGEANDBLUE2011]

Epps has to be in there. MM OUT!!!!

I’m so happy to eat these words!

 

[DeonThomas]

I remember sitting in a practic e at the !!! hall and Lou was lecturing his team on the importance of ball security. “treat every possession like it;s the final possession of the game.” This team needs to do that.

I like that. A LOT.

(Curious -- how did you get that access?)

Piper saying Harris got a T….

 

[Illini8420]

Our offensive system has been great the whole game. About time that the shots start falling

[blueguy]

Just an observation but is Ty Rodgers hurt because he hasn’t seen the floor tonight?

And We Have Life

Harris on the court and we look like a team that plays with the effort, intensity, and brains to win games in the B10. It sounds so weird saying this, but he is the one guy on our team that cannot leave the court this year. He's our most important player to be on the court (and yes, he's an offensive liability)

 

[727ill]

Agreed, but right now Sky isn't shooting the rock well either. I'll trade What Sky brings for Rodger's defense and rebounding.

I agree but I still like Skyy shooting threes when he is open. They can’t sag off him.

Every team is going to sag off Ty and dare him to shoot which screws up spacing.

 

[SaintLIllini]

how did harris get a T???

 

[madillini4]

how did harris get a T???

Yes

 

[Eternal Optimist]

Nice run. But I’m not convinced yet.

 

[I lost Kofi's blue binder]

Shannon is the best passer on the roster -- offense is different when he's driving and kicking.

 

[Stevegarbs]

For signing these transfers? Sure. For failing to predict they’d fold faster than a card table in a Buffalo Bills parking lot? How is that on BU? For failing to predict snotty petulant attitudes and 10 ply supersoft character?

Yes, exactly this. We are paying him millions of dollars to do precisely this. The lack of chemistry and team play is 100% on him. Can't take the heat, don't offer the NIL $$$.

The rotation tends to shrink in conference play.

 

[PNWIllini]

And refball hits Harris.

 

[skyIdub]

So all I had to do was mute the game to listen to hockey. Offense: activated.
Noted.

 

[zentrails]

nice series there

Yep we finally showed up. Hopefully we keep it up

 

[sadcubfan69]

I just want to see some level of consistency to feel confident that some of the guys are not just good mixtape and highlight players, but also good overall basketball players.

 

[Mojoman]

Pretty simple game. Drive and score or kick. Get your as$ back on D
