Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

How does KJ make that? Top 5 obviously.. my god

 

[CDRUSN]

The rest of the Big 10 has to be gaping slack jawed at this performance, wondering how to play the deepest, most athletic team in the league.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Legit beef Morez. No foul.

 

[Illini2010-11]

5 minutes into game, Illinois was stuck at 6 points. 29 minutes later, the Illini have 91 points. That is 85 points in less than 30 minutes against a top 10 team. Quite impressive! Nobody is going to want to face this Illini team in March.

The talent was always there. Just needed the chemistry to develop. I think it's happening.

This is sooooooooooo worth the horrible day I'll have at work tomorrow.

I agree. 5:00 a.m will come quick.

Very happy to see Ben play so well...have so much success.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Inject this into my veins!!!!!!!!!!!!

Username checks out

Boswell cannot shoot layups… please keep shooting 3s

 

[KyBourbon]

This team has “it”. Gives me the same vibes as beating Wake Forest in 2004-2005.

I was thinking the same thing. Dee Brown days.

The people who were bagging on Ben for the last few weeks needs to zip it from here on out. Coach has been telling people that he's going to get on a heater and he just has to get shots up. Guess coach knows a thing or two about his guys.

Glad he's doing well, but he's missed a lot of open 3s while not drawing fouls or rebounding.

He's hit open 3s this game. WHICH IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTS.

 

[OB positive]

So I guess that Chicago State game was what we needed.

 

[DeeIL89]

Ben finally did what he was brought in to do and that's show he's a sharpshooter. Happy he's making his 3s tonight.

 

[FoundersClub]

At #4 Michigan (without Ayo) vibes.

 

[eas23]

I'm a little disappointed neither DGL or Davis has scored in the 2nd half, lol.

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

Are we sure this is the #9 team in the country?

 

[FloridaMan]

Are we sure this is the #9 team in the country?

We may be

 

[Illini IndyCar Fan]

I'm so happy for him. Not only nice to see the 3's fall, but he had the opportunity to show a bit more of his offensive repertoire. Hopefully this gives him a confidence boost going forward.

I’ll buy his NIL jersey if the booty ball and drives to the basket today are a preview of what he’s going to do the rest of the season.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Nice of the zebra to wait until Tre missed the layup to call the foul. Lol

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Are we sure this is the #9 team in the country?

Their other games I've watched - yes.

 

[derrick6]

Finally caught Cook pushing!

 

[Oracle21]

If Illinois beats Washington I think they will be put into the top 10.

 

[punchabove33]

KJ favoring his hip from his fall earlier

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Are we sure this is the #9 team in the country?

By asking that, you're inadvertently cheapening our win.
