Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[KyBourbon]

So tired of announcers saying Kasparas Jakucionis is more advanced b/c he played with grown men in Europe. NCAA is made up of grown men.

Morez mauled, no call

Ok I’m tingling in my happy places.

And I don’t think it’s Dolly.

If this keeps up, the Ducks will need to put a PTSD counselor on staff.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

For those of you at the game, we can hear you and you are appreciated. Thanks for making it feel like a home game.

If you start feeling bad for Oregon, remember the football game.

Was never going to start feeling bad for them.

Illini are putting on a show against #9 on the road!!

 

[JSpence]

You didn't watch their most recent podcast have you? They literally mocked the phrase "deepest illini team ever" I am also a member of their discord...

Yes, and not just their Illinois content. Are you saying you've been happy with Riley, Hummer, Booth, Davis, and DGL the last month? Come on. This is wild. Let's just enjoy it.

This is Illinois Basketball!

I’d say they learned from Bama and Tenn the effort needed

 

[Chillinini]

Hope I don’t get vilified for this. I’ve watched UofI basketball since the EJ years.

I have to say, this team is just as exciting and talented like the Flyin’ Illini team, 2005 Final team and last years.

The way they play tonight reminds me of the excitement watching the Flying Illini. Fast, athletic, unselfish, finish at the rim, shooting.
Just fantastic to watch.

White with 9 rebounds

His rebounding has been noticeable grabbing everything

 

[SuperMetroid]

We’re getting zero foul calls and still kicking their butt

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Here comes DJ bald head to be sure he has his impact on the game

 

[DeeIL89]

Where was the tripping foul on KJ? C'mon.

 

[KingWolf11]

That was the first time in my life I heard an announcer realizing he was calling a white player deceptively some positive athletic trait in the middle of saying it that was hilarious lmfao

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Stripes hell-bent on keeping these guys in it. Ducks have committed what, 5 fouls in 26 minutes. GMAFB.

 

[LoveLovie]

You put yourself in this spot so you can have a few empty possessions and be fine. Let’s go boys..get that momentum back

It’s hard for me to get fired up in my weird Dolly Parton hotel room in downtown Nashville…

I’d wager you 9-to-5 that you find that room creepy

DJ carstensen remains a turd

 

[Mr. Roberts]

KJ with third. Unleash the bench!

 

[foby]

If we win this one handily, the AP might reward us with the #21 ranking.

Kj gets absolutely no calls feel like he gets Kofi treatment kid gets hit on every shot around the rim and rarely gets the calls
