Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[FloridaMan]

Good defense there, boys!

 

[CDRUSN]

No matter what he goes by, Man Mountain Mirk, the Montenegran Monster, the Mirkant of Death, he is a handful for other teams, and fully embraces the fight in Fighting Illini. Plays like few freshman I have ever seen in Orange and Blue.

Mirk absolutely changing this game. Great first 5 minutes

Seems like they’re getting away with a bit more than they should on the shot contests

Given up some easy buckets. Tighten that up and I feel good, they will hound us defensively. Need the 3's to fall. I-L-L!

Hummer experiment is over

Peja Jr. is a beast.

I really need to stop clenching everytime Ben touches the ball.

Or mans up on someone at the top of the key, apparently.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Andrej ballin today as well. Really good game so far

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Get ben out.

 

[Jimbo]

Merkovic is boundin tonight

 

[Champaign88]

Defense with quick guards is going to be a challenge when we have three bigs like right now (Ben at SF).

 

[TheodoreRex]

Give Philon that 3 ALL DAY- those are TERRIBLE shots. No chance he keeps hitting those.

 

[FloridaMan]

Too many open looks for them

 

[DeeIL89]
