[Fly Illini Fly!]

I'm genuinely speechless when it comes to Keaton.

Solid rebounding by the Jakester. And a quick 2 pointer.

HOW are we winning this game!?!? Lmfaoooo….

WAGLER

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I haven't been infuriated because the difference in the points in the paint. 26-4. Most of it is because our guards are being broken down, but that's going to happen when you're playing against Smith. He's the best PG in college ball for a reason. That said, our bigs don't play very tough. They want to be on the perimeter and that's troublesome in a game like this.

Make TKR go left! I love that defensive adjustment out of the half!

Dave Downey (who just passed away) scored 27 in one half and 26 in the 2nd half in 1963. There was no 3 point line then. But, Wagler is a better and quicker athlete

[IlliniAlumnus]

Smith and Loyer are Seniors? What, like their 3rd Senior Year? Those 2 have been there forever.

I think everyone is going to know how to pronounce his last name now.

Including the baldy on Field of 68

 

[IlliniFan42]

Always a friendly whistle for Purdue in Mackey

 

[FloridaMan]

Maybe this is why?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I hate to put this on a freshman, but he's going to have to carry us and not just by hitting threes. He has to get into the paint and make the right play and hopefully get his teammates involved.... especially the bigs.

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

FOUL! Not a travel!

 

[NarrowJ]

They stopped switching now

 

[Champaign88]

Here's a real stumper for you. Can you think of anyone who could be B10 Freshman of the Week and Player of the Week this cycle? I'll spot you a K and a W.
