Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Miles Leonard]

We cleaned up the turnovers this half. The result? A 20 point lead on the road.

Finish them.

Oh my goodness!

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Holy cow, I love this team.

[AyoDos11]

We have championship caliber Defense!

 

[number1IlliniFan]

Wow. Looking good today across the board.

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

All I can think of is Brian Randle when I see someone hit the pads with their hand like that.

 

[grantlab]

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a more impressive display of defensive. We may legitimately be the best defensive team in the country this year.

 

[dsg]

Let's keep this big lead this time!

 

[Butters]

When we shoot the three like this, we will be extremely tough to beat.

 

[TentakilRex]

Good job so far guys....

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

TSJ stealing the hearts of every Illini fan

 

[Chillinini]

This defense….shall I say it….is elite.

 

[zentrails]

Yep blood in the water, TSJ time, me thinks

I called it! LOL
Keep it up guys, just eliminate the TOs and we win this going away

 

[eas23]

I enjoy when the shots go in.

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

I love having Domask on this team. When they run some iso in the lane for him, he's strong & smart...almost always makes right decision. That's going to come in handy when they get in a game when they need a clutch bucket.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Ball movement, exceptional defense, and actually hitting some shots, man, this team is good when those things are happening.

 

[ChiTown]

CH really playing D on Omaryi. Now, withstand the inevitable run and get outta here!

That’s the same way he played against Hunter during the Kansas game.

 

[ILL21]

LFG baby!

 

[Illini8420]

We might be the most annoying team to play in college basketball…love it

 

[zentrails]

Interesting that they seem to be pressing us a bit less on inbounds right now with how successful it was

They are getting tired, IMO

 

[abchew2]

Responded strong to that first half run from them. Other than the turnovers pretty happy so far with the offense, especially in the second half. Blood in the water now

 

[Dominant Erupt]

TSJ stealing the hearts of every Illini fan

He’s had mine since the UCLA game last year lol

Shannon is playing like the next Lebron/Jordan
