Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

I don't remember an all-around road performance by the Illini like this since 2004-5. Incredible to watch.

So cool to see contributions from so many different guys, and the offense coming from so many different sources, and terrific defensive pressure throughout the game.

4 out of every 5 foul calls against morez arent fouls lol. It’s kinda crazy.

I'm not trying to wrinkle any feathers.but will boswell ever make a lay up contested I do worry about that when we play better teams or even going forward only downfall I can say about the game so far.ps I love seeing kb making 3s though

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Tre White with one of the quietest 18 point nights I can remember.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

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

Kenpom has them at #12 - we're making them look like #312!

 

[KyBourbon]

We are going to hit 100 against the number 9 team.. Wow

KJ is our Deron Williams. His game isn’t exactly the same, but he’s the engine that can really make us go.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

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.

His defense and rebounding were my biggest concerns leading up to this game, and I was far from the only one who noticed these issues. The fact that he's played so well this game doesn't make our fans wrong for pointing out the obvious previously.

Jake and DGL were coming for everyone's minutes and the starters decided to show up
