[GoIllini23]

Ha...no foul on the block cost em 3 pts

 

[skyIdub]

I was going by the Trent, AJ, and Da'Monte part.

lol I had to find a cop out!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

I love this team.

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Black not even on the bench

 

[DonIllini]

Underwood let the freshmen loose Frazier has passed up Tejon

 

[Future Walk-On]

I love this team.

at large birth. it's a lock.

 

[Gunner23]

I WANT MORE TRENT FRAZIER

+1. Going to be a good one for us in the future.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Side note: if Leron ends up being out for a while it’s going to be great learning time for Greg

 

[TCTORNADO]

This team is just flatout different with Frazier on the floor. His speed makes the others better. That's what PG's do--make others better. His on the ball defense is the best by far on this team.

I missed the first half. What happens to Leron??

"Imagine there's no fouling." John Lennon's lesser known brother Ed Lennon.

No offense to Kareem and his cause but couldn't you do an interview like this at halftime?

 

[ivwilsoniv]

Makeup call? He was set. Frazier hit a brick wall

Definite make up call. I said, "That was a bad call too, just went in our favor." Of course, I'm talking to myself since it's 12:34am.

Plenty of time left for an Illini blowout win!!! These kids may not be the smartest team around, but they play to win with all their heart and believe that can get it done. 25 turnovers is not a good way to go about it though.

 

[katytxillini]

Play worked out but there was more contact on that Finke drive than a number of our fouls. But at least 5 of the 7 fouls are legit. We foul a lot.

 

[Welchelracing21c]

I missed the first half. What happens to Leron??

Not sure but he is in a sling at end of bench right now

 

[ivwilsoniv]

I missed the first half. What happens to Leron??

He hurts his arm.

 

[GoIllini23]

Winning a tough road game would go a long way towards their confidence and growth...fingers crossed

 

[mhuml32]

Black is in a sling on the bench.

 

[Fearless Illini]

Actually, the players need to figure it out. There is a fine line between playing aggressively and playing out of control.

This is a mindset and style that Coach U has instilled in the players. Cream even mentioned that your winning percentage goes way up the quicker your team goes into the bonus. Underwood has to know this. We are not talented enough offensively to overcome putting teams in double bonus so early in every game.

 

[skyIdub]

If the foul calls start to even out, we have a real chance at this.

 

[GortTheRobot]

Why do we still need to see Kareem...we have established who's speaking.

 

[Welchelracing21c]

Is it possible to make a put back?

 

[hoopsfan47]

UNLV in the bonus with 16 minutes to go may make a win impossible...unless they start shooting FF at about a 20% clip.
