Game Thread: Illinois vs Arizona

[skyIdub]

I like our chances even more in a physical slow brawl. Shooting FT's very well this year.

 

[WSIOTCSS]

This team really does not know how to keep leads (exception being Rutgers but still), seems like we let up every time.

Why does BBV even see time?

The camera on the floor looks like it has the CSI: Miami soft focus filter on it.

I’d rather take my chances with a half court shot that BBV at the line lol

The one thing I hate about college basketball...


Airball.
Airball.
Airball.

Just stop it. We get it. The dude missed the shot.

I love some BBV, but I cringe when he touches the ball on the offensive end even on the free throw line.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Trent is everywhere.

 

[azillini1]

Frazier and Plummer have 30 of our 39 points.

 

[spillini]

Gotta keep Trent shooting. We paid the price last time.

 

[skyIdub]

Lol....Frazier got away with that slide! Score one for home court!

Only BBV can single handedly turn a missed rebound into a fast break for the other team.

It's killing me. What in the world is happening there.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

And they’re going to keep getting looks so long as Arizona continues to double Kofi. Knock ‘em down and we’ll be hard to beat.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

If Kofi can get his game going, I like our chances.

Long way to go, but being up without our PG is a great sign for this team.

 

[WyattEarp]

Someone should notify Brando we are missing our starting pg

 

[DeonThomas]

As stated earlier, it's been a game of runs so far.

And ours was superior.

I keep thinking I'm having a stroke or something.

Cuz Hawk makes stupid fouls.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Why does BBV get playing time? Why does Payne get playing time? Why does Hawkins make so many stupid plays?

Criminy, someone has to play, and Hawkins has to sit with those fouls. I think they've been pretty darn good so far.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I’m not gonna hate on BBV. Just this stresses how important it is that Hawkins take that next step. We really need him to be able to play top level opponents without fouling.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Trent and Alfonso gon take turns hitting daggers in the second half.

Yeah, reactionary game thread posts.

My guess is he will have that figured out by the end of the season. My hope is he has it figured out by the end of this game.
