Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[AnnaMay]

Nope. I love Miller's game.

I think as of right now, he would be better coming of the bench and getting a look at the game before coming in. He is going to be a star, but he has been rushing things. Trent is so far ahead of him on defense. Either way though, Curbelo needs to be in as much as possible lol

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

No idea how that was a no-call. Somebody gonna got injured with 240 lbs of doofus rolling around on the floor.

Nope. I love Miller's game.

I think AnnaMay means because there is less than 0% chance Curbelo starts in place of Frazier. If he's taking anyone's minutes at this point it will be Miller.

Any long stretch with Curbelo and Miller instead of Frazier/DMFW usually results in several defensive mistakes and turnovers. I like the idea of Curbelo with Kofi for as many minutes as possible.

Exactly.

We lead!!!!!!!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Just turned it on. I see we're winning. I'm going to assume we've been up the whole game?

 

[skyIdub]

So...ummm...we're like, winning.

 

[azillini1]

Kofi with 16

We need to crash the offensive boards more.... seems like we've gotten away from that

 

[Miles Leonard]

Be nice if we could play some defense

 

[altgeld88]

Let's hope that first 10 mins was the nadir of the season. Otherwise, eeesh.

Too many PSU layups

I'll take this last 6-8 minutes for the rest of the year...win or lose.

I must not understand what an illegal screen is. Seriously nkt being flippant. At the 1:30 when Frazier got called for the foul. The screen out top looked blatant to me.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Excellent D by Kofi out in space on the last pick and roll

 

[altenberger22]

More offensive balance in this first half. It looks so much better than having Ayo driving into the paint on every play (like the final 4 minutes against Rutgers).

That makes four of you counting the refs.

 

[jason88cubs]

Feed Kofi

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Tied at halftime. I'll take it!

 

[KevinC]

Curbelo is just way too ball dominant. Missing far too many guys that have moved into open shot looks. He does some great things but, needs to find his shooters. Will totally kill their rhythm. Kofi and GB need to pass the ball out sometimes.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Come out the first five minutes of the second half and take control

 

[jason88cubs]

I hate high expectations for young teams

 

[altgeld88]

I'll take this last 6-8 minutes for the rest of the year...win or lose.

Agreed. I just remember Maryland in College Park Last December. They led for 39:55. Gotta play for 40. And they learned to do just that. Quickly.

Illegal screens all day long on #15 PSU. You can't hump the defender or jump into him.
