Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[…INI]

Energy level is better and playing with more control. Keep it up!

Fight fight fight

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Did Kasparas go to the locker room or is he on the bench? Anyone know?

He's coming back in ...

I’m a fan of Rez. He has potential to be very good.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Don't like Rez going out here tbh... love his energy.

Tomi hasn't shown the same bite on D IMO

 

[ChiefGritty]

Basketball should be played at full time basketball sites part a million

Alabama shooting 50% for the game and only 5 TO's. That shows how we are doing defensively. Yet we are out rebounding them by 11. The score could be even worse if we weren't winning on the boards. Defense really needs work

I'm great with it if he goes right back in.

That energy is going to give him a LOT of tick this year.

Something that is so encouraging about this team is that they will improve within a game. They don't spiral out of control and repeat the same mistakes with zero adjustment. You can see them learning and evolving. Very encouraging to see, especially this early in the season.

What's score Illini family.

Go to first post, live stats.

73-65 bama

 

[Oranges]

Last I checked we were down 36-19. Proud of the boys to show some fight and not roll over. That being said….finish the job!

 

[illinifreak30]

No foul there

 

[FloridaMan]

Seeing some pride from the group on the floor right now. I'm sure the staff is taking note.

I guess they did not

4 fouls on Rez

 

[skyIdub]

Welp. We got the run I wanted to see.


We are just passive. On O and D. Passive.

 

[ChiTown]

Defense….Defense….Defense.

 

[LoveLovie]

Illini take bad shots too often

 

[Illinifan1995--]

Anyone REMEMBER how many CHARGES WE TOOK LAST YEAR?

 

[Illinifan1995--]

Zone Zone Zone, it's so bad it's worth a shot

 

[NarrowJ]

Alabama responds, getting close to curtains now

 

[FloridaMan]

Does Bama get 4 steps tonight? Our question on the refs is being answered.

 

[New Creation]

Ben plays ZERO DEFENSE

 

[Epsilon]

It’s just so hard to watch your team continually get smoked on D.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Absolutely horrendous shot selection and hero ball. Vomit
