Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[Pikeillinifan]

They’re starting to play now, gotta win this one.

Lol Ayo took the ball out in the paint

I was like...ok, I guess we will take that lol

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Curbello needs to think as much on defense as he does on offense

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We're settling in. Good recovery so far.

 

[AnnaMay]

CURBELO: Based upon what we've seen so far, I agree. Curbelo starts for Frazier next game. What a facilitator!

You mean for Miller

 

[Miles Leonard]

Lol Ayo took the ball out in the paint

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Either a travel or an inbound violation should have been called on Ayo. We'll take it though lol.

Best minutes I've seen from Grandison this year - nothing that will show up in the box score but hopefully settling in a little

 

[altenberger22]

Well, we've survived the blitz!

We're in an OK spot now. That was perhaps the best I've seen Penn State play since they entered the league. Curbelo, Ayo, Georgi and Kofi look really good on "O". Everyone has looked bad on "D".

 

[TarheelIllini]

Pick and roll defense = broken. All year. It is pretty obvious what needs to be fixed. Why are we struggling so badly with fundamental defensive principles?

 

[skyIdub]

Wow. Court. Vision.

 

[GallopingGhost]

An idea to have Curbelo shoot all of our free throws for the rest of the season. Learn to flop and let’s get that ship

I believe the ball was inbounded to Ayo and he (mistakenly) contemplated traveling.......to the OB line to take it out again. He probably did take a baby step and travel.

Grandison 3??

 

[SuperMetroid]

Like how their big doofus knocks over 2 of our guys to get an open shot

 

[Miles Leonard]

We just stood there and let PSU rebound their own miss. We have to finish plays.

 

[azillini1]

Kofi going wild

 

[altenberger22]

You mean for Miller

Nope. I love Miller's game.

2 for 1 foul not called....

 

[skyIdub]

This is the effort we need for 40 minutes if we want B1G Road Kills.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Kofi needs more touches. A LOT more touches.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Kofi gonna eat!!!

 

[illiram11]

I love the fight and the comeback, but great teams have fight every minute of every game. If we keep this up, we will win,

 

[LoveLovie]

Kofi scored 3 on 1

 

[BRucks]

0 rebs for kofi

While looking down the entire time and losing his dribble.
