Game Thread: Illinois at USC

[TampaToo]

Wow! That’s all I got.

 

[DeeIL89]

Musselman with the "ah F it!" burned USC final timeout. Lol.

 

[skyIdub]

 

[WeLoveNoOther]

so....time to open the postgame thread yet, Dan? lol

 

[zentrails]

USC shooting 100% this half, and losing ground.

We have the game so in control that the announcers are racking their brains for NBA stories to tell

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

This is entirely worth staying up late.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Up 31 on the road against a good team... That'll do... That'll do!

 

[Grange Grover]

The amount of WIDE open shots we get is astounding. We are so selfless and consistently pass up good shots for great shots.

 

[eas23]

Can we put the rest of the game on 1.5 speed?

 

[illinifreak30]

Mirk is looking like Jokic. I mean if he can shoot threes like this other teams are in gigantic trouble

If our team is shooting like this from 3 any team is in trouble

 

[Ramrod2010]

I don't know what's more shocking, the number of Illinois fans out there or how magnificent this team is looking the last 47ish minutes of game time going back to the 2nd half on Sunday.

 

[hoopsfan47]

There exists a real possibility that the Illini can get 7 double digit scorers tonight.

 

[PNWIllini]

Humrichous is shooting like he’s back at Evansville. Which makes USC a MVC worthy contender

 

[FloridaMan]

 

[IlliniSaluki]

LOL no more timeouts for SC..

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Lots of Illini smiles tonight. Think I even saw one from Keaton.

 

[Rusty]

12-24

from 3

 

[GTL Adam]

USC having 18 wins on the season is baffling

 

[CentralILLini]

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Muss has:
- no timeouts
- hot wife
- wife that is taller than him
- a sweet contract for the product he puts on the floor.
- all the above

 

[DeeIL89]

Mirk is looking like Jokic. I mean if he can shoot threes like this other teams are in gigantic trouble

If Jokic, Draymond and Sengun fused into one person.

 

[BBlock24]

Jake Davis has 7 boards.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Firing on all cylinders! Announcers trying to figure out best NBA 3 point shooter, while we are putting on a shooting clinic.

 

[jumpingjack]

Mirk is such a mismatch. He's going to be someone's centerpiece next year.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Yes, but he's a 30% three point shooter, and that's with a good hand. We're a better team when he isn't taking a bunch of threes, open or not.

He HAS to take open threes, hard stop. We are in no world a better team is ANYONE on our roster isn't taking open shots.

He can get a little trigger happy, no doubt, but on wide open looks, he has to pull it.
