We started 1-5

 

[Epsilon]

We also have 5 fewer turnovers and are +9 on rebounding.

Trojans out of timeouts

Fortunately for them, the refs are giving timeouts about every 30 seconds of gameplay tonight

 

[FloridaMan]

So, really, the line was 28.5 right?

The pre game Death Star .gif's were a premonition..... @The Galloping Ghost

OH MY DEAR LORD THAT BLOCK BY Z

 

[jumpingjack]

I've heard entirely enough about Andrej's shooting mechanics at this point and I'm pretty nerdy about that.

 

[skyIdub]

Big Z is tall.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Z covers so much ground

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

lol what the hell was that layup, Mirk?!?
Dude cracks me up…

 

[jumpingjack]

Relentless

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

We have 22 missed shots and 12 offensive rebounds.

That's a 54% offensive rebound rate.

 

[Epsilon]

Down 31 and they play the Jaws theme song. WE’RE THE SHARKS.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

USC having 18 wins on the season is baffling

You beat me to it. To be fair, they're without Baker-Mazara tonight and that didn't help their cause, but geeze. Are they seriously a bubble team?

 

[CrazedUIFan]

How USC will go to sleep tonight

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Wow Drej made a dunk!

 

[FloridaMan]

 

[Miles Leonard]

Air Stojakovic!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

OHHHHHHHH ANDREJ

 

[TheodoreRex]

Bos and Andrej with posters tonight!

 

[Piotyr]

Reminder that USC is #47 in the NET and in the field on most brackets.

Also they're missing their best player, but Illinois just did the same for a month and lost 2 OT games.

Let’s empty the bench for the last 10 minutes here. Rest up for UCLA.

Drej’s ankle seems OK
