Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Keep this lineup pls

 

[KingWolf11]

I will donate a finger to get year 2 of Riley

 

[SuperMetroid]

Finally a bit of a run!

 

[Ramrod2010]

We got a pulse.

 

[Jimbo]

We just can’t get a run going…

Oh yeah?

 

[Jon]

Yep. I'm not emotionally stable enough for Illinois basketball yet

 

[blife]

LFG!!!!!

 

[grantlab]

Will Riley is growing up every single game and has never lacked effort. Dude does the little things like get on the offensive glass and also guards hit butt off

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We give them way too many open shots and don’t force enough turnovers. I am starting Tre is a hero ball guy.

This is the stuff that needs to be figured out. As the games go by, you'll see Brad assigning minutes accordingly. Hero ball won't help the cause.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Rez and Dra are going to give you everything they got. Glad Brad is sticking with them.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Tre White refuses to go baseline when he get a step on the drive and every time he ends up taking a much more difficult shot from the middle of the lane moving laterally

JMO, Tre needs to focus on having a towel and Gatorade bottle ready for Will Riley during timeouts.

 

[Epsilon]

Caught them napping I guess…

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

It's. The. 4th. Game.

Plenty of time for the team to develop a personality and players to develop some pride.

Agreed, but that’s just too many periods

 

[foby]

Young team takes another growth step right in front of our eyes.

 

[Deep]

Roswell will be a Dawg .

 

[ChiTown]

We’re coming back from the dead and back on life support.

 

[Illinifan1995--]

It’s to early in the season for that. They’ll never have a chance to improve if you abandon ship in game 4

Our defense is horrible, I wouldn't say trying out zone for a half is abandoning the ship. We have the height to do it..

 

[Goillinikobd]

We have a game.

Next 5 minutes will be the key to the ballgame

 

[NashvILLe05]

I’d like to see more Morez than Tomi the rest of the way.

 

[Iamgroot]

Why don't we play dgl and boswell together there some of our better defenders and they both have some of the best speed we have on this which if anything we can learn from the first half we need as much speed on the court asp

 

[Illiniguy13]

Man if we can just play half-way decent defense these last 10 minutes we could totally steal this one

 

[skyIdub]

KJ, DGL, WR, TI, BH are my starters. BH first to the bench if his shot isn't falling.

 

[OB positive]

Showing some life

 

[Epsilon]

Rez and Dra are going to give you everything they got. Glad Brad is sticking with them.

Riley putting in some effort too

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

DGL and Morez looking way better than Tomi and/or White...

gotta collapse the D... that's the key... Rez is the MAN
