Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[ChiTown]

Well missing free throws are the difference in this game.

 

[New Creation]

We won’t win many tough games this year if we can’t make free throws

 

[DeeIL89]

Focus for next practice: Rebounds and free throws

You simply can’t miss 9 free throws as a division one team and expect to win. Unreal

Ben trying to earn his way back into our good graces. Ha

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Humrichous doing his best work.

He really is!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What a gigantic pass and three by Ben. Still alive

 

[ChiTown]

Too little too late.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Save that play!

 

[Illinisnake]

Kinda sad we almost lost the rebounding battle against this team

 

[azillini1]

How big was the lane violation

 

[SuperMetroid]

That horseshit lane violation is the difference right now

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Yeah I have zero clue how anyone that's watched this game thinks BEN of all our bigs has been the problem.....

We take the lead with that 3 if we could shoot free throws tonight.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What I'd give for a stolen inbounds and a Deron flashback 3

 

[NarrowJ]

I spoke too soon

Maybe we can get a tie up

 

[DeeIL89]

Man, these early season non conference ranked games have been so much fun.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Jake Davis fouling the three point shooter

 

[sacraig]

That horseshit lane violation is the difference right now

We've played a largely crappy second half in many facets of the game. Pick one and that's the difference.

 

[LuckyIllini]

They’re fun but we rarely win.

 

[NarrowJ]

People with the under sweating bullets hoping for no OT now lol

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge miss!

 

[sacraig]

Man, these early season non conference ranked games have been so much fun.

I'll take losing a squeaker to Bama over beating Jackson State by a billion any day.
