Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[Grange Grover]

This is fun!!!!

 

[TheodoreRex]

Holy Hell, that pass from KJ to Ben was a thing of BEAUTY... Also, totally cool with Ben going off on Oregon...

 

[TrahNeb]

I need the gif now!

Oregon is really good. They will win a ton of games this year. They just look kinda bad tonight because we've defended them really well and have been super aggressive on the other end.

We're clearly faster than them, though. That surprises me.

OmG. The game is off the hook.

Crazy assist by KJ to Ben…
Ben 3 x2
KJ fade away 3
Tomi incredible D

To borrow from an earlier post: KJ is the player Curbelo thought he was

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

They can't run with us... keep playing fast

This is Illinois Basketball!

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Glad most y’all were wrong about Ben

 

[blife]

Perfect start to half. DO NOT let your foot off their throat. Finish them right now

 

[Illini8420]

KJ is in Steve Nash mode

 

[OrangeBlue98]

We might be in the process of putting everything together. If so, look out.

 

[CDRUSN]

Illini start the second half on a Heater, with starters that have fresh legs. Let's keep coming at these Ducks in waves, we should be able to just overwhelm them with athleticism and hustle.

 

[GTL Adam]

We’ve looked pretty darn good after kind of an ugly start to the game.

 

[Rich]

I have a new favorite thing and that's opposing coaches tilting off the planet

First Beamer and now Dana Altman looking flustered

 

[FloridaMan]

Glad I stayed up so far!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Oregon is absolutely shellschocked.

That between the legs pass to Hummer HAD to go. Believe it or not, spicy passes like that definitely increase confidence for a shooter.

 

[Deep]

You have got to be BLEEPING me

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This is a Final Four team.

Pump the breaks. Let's win this one first.

I am so happy for Ben. He gets abused on here and I get why sometimes, but we need him to get on track.

He's been a unicorn in this game in every way possible. Kinda fun to watch not gonna lie. Lol.

 

[Idea Gardener]

We blew up their scouting report lol

 

[Illini in Italy]

B F H !!!

 

[IlliniRunIn07]

Can these play by play announcers please learn to pronounce our players’ names correctly?

We are like halfway through the season and I'm not even sure I can pronounce half our players names correctly.

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