Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[grantlab]

If we can keep this type of offensive rebounding up, there’s not enough missed shots in the world to let us lose this game. At least I hope

 

[Icy veins]

Domask seems to be hurried up so far.

Whole team is. Gotta settle in

I’m expecting Hawkins to have fun with the student section tonight in support of TJ.

He's already had some fun when he made that layup.......then Ty flexes after his layup......love the Illini attitude tonight...

 

[iillini67]

4 Offensive rebounds already

 

[logjam]

Domask seems to be hurried up so far.

He'll be fine...

 

[Fighting I 95]

Domask shooting still not there and his layups have been rough. Hoping he gets it together.

 

[FloridaMan]

Don't think we want MD switching to Boo Boo.

 

[azillini1]

10 boards for us and 4 for them. Soon as our shots start to fall we will get a good lead.

 

[FloridaMan]

Layups, layups, layups, layups

 

[azillini1]

Good is Goode

 

[hoopsfan47]

Huge turnaround there as Ty makes a beautiful move to get a layup...and misses...while NW buries one at the other end. A barn burner tonight...can we get about 29 of those points in C-U to use tonight?

 

[FloridaMan]

Great aggressiveness on the boards so far!

 

[JSpence]

NOISE for Goode in Evanston!!

And absolutely loving this rebounding

 

[Rusty]

Nice to see Goode get going!

 

[grantlab]

Justin Harmon’s energy in ball screen coverage off the bench has been SOOO needed. Oh, and Luke Goode…

 

[KingWolf11]

I could watch Luke shoot all day

 

[CleverHandle1]

Just keep posting Booie up. He's got one foul. Make him work and expend energy on the defensive side. When doubled teamed, fan out for a three pointer.

 

[logjam]

What I love about this team is...that we typically don't have those 5 minute lapses when we don't score...we're too balanced and deep and unselfish...

 

[Bigtex]

Would be a nice game for Goode to lead Illinois in scoring

 

[pruman91]

every time a nu big sets a screen they turn into the Illini defender with their big fat arse's.....every time....they really really do ....and their arse's really really are fat............dumb mo'fo's.........

 

[Spokane Illini]

Shannon needs to settle down. He needs to let the game come to him

 

[illinifreak30]

Terrible jump ball call

 

[hiberto]

how is that a jump ball?? should have been a foul

 

[LoveLovie]

Where is the foul? That’s crazy

 

[blife]

HOW IS THAT A JUMP BALL?
