Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[Chillinini]

Only improvement for KJ….stop fouling 90 feet from the basket.

The resurgence of HUMRICHOUS

We all believed in you the whole time, Ben! For real, great to see him gain confidence and play well!

The last time Illinois was up this much on the road vs a top 10 team I think was the game at Michigan when Ayo didn’t play. These types of completely dominating road performances don’t happen often

 

[Heisenbobble]

Brad needs to sack up and start yelling at these bull!!!! refs. !!!! off with these calls!

 

[CleverHandle1]

Treat it like an 8-point game right now, not 18. Cannot let the Duck back into the game. Put the subs in so starters are refreshed for the final push.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

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

With a team like ours, it's not about learning. It's about making shots. Our effort and tough play was there, but when the three doesn't go down, the well dries up. HOWEVER, we have a group that can go nuclear on any night.

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.

I get it, but it's actually true. KJ was playing against pros when he was high school-aged. Yes, the NCAA is made of grown men, but I think of my son who's almost 17, and I think about KJ at his age playing grown-a$$ men. It makes a difference.

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

And the Nike Scrooge McDuck pile of money

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Cannot take possessions off IDK what the score is...

One possessions at a time, one media TO at a time. Win these next four minutes from the under 12 to the under 8.

 

[blife]

Please show me a replay of the last foul. BullSh@t call

 

[Naborman88]

That was an awful call against KJ

 

[NashvILLe05]

How is that a foul on KJ? For existing?!?

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

I don't understand how that's a foul on KJ...

 

[ginabackes00]

That was a ridiculous call

 

[UCantHideYer]

Can’t see how foul on KJ there

 

[From the cheap seats]

To rephrase a Mark Twain quote, reports of Ben’s death are greatly exaggerated.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

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

Wow, not even close to a foul. Refs doing all they can to keep Oregon in this one.

This officiating is dog poo

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.

Does not bother me in the slightest. I think they are trying to say that he is no standard freshman, with respect to level of competition before entering the college ranks.

 

[punchabove33]

poor Oregon fans… their overall #1 football team gets smoked by Ohio state yesterday… their top 10 basketball team getting embarrassed tonight….


Maybe they partied too much yesterday?

 

[hiberto]

feels like cook has way more than 12

 

[eas23]

Oh, that was a grown man take from Boswell.

 

[DeeIL89]

Finally a foul call in Boswell's favor.
