Damn you Andrew! Also, who is Andrew?

 

[OurMottoisOskeeWowWow]

What the hell is going on?

I've only got radio feed--what the heck just happened?

My bad. I meant Andre.

This team has a mouth problem. Big time. You haven’t beaten anyone yet.

Curbelo blew a kiss to the Krush, refs though he was taunting the opposing bench so gave him a tech. BU got an additional tech defending AC.

Not sure. LOL. I'm following the sidearmstats thread: https://fightingillini.com/sidearmstats/mbball/play-by-play

 

[OurMottoisOskeeWowWow]

Wow. Umm how many fouls on Arkansas State so far?

 

[JJE]

This team is talking a lot of smack this year. They haven't proved crap this season yet. I'm a millennial and like the occasional jawing, but these guys haven't proved anything to be talking as much as they are.

Hawkins already with 8 rebounds. Dude is killing it.

 

[Th3Univ3rs3]

Hawkins is a beast

 

[BashCtIllini]

Always dangerous to assume your performance against our worst opponents will carry over against our strongest opponents, but Hawkins looks like he is a thing.

 

[OurMottoisOskeeWowWow]

Pretty sure we've scored 15 points in like that last 3 minutes after barely getting over 20 points in the first 13 minutes.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

13 with 4:12 left in the first half

CoHawk is trying to Bugs Bunny Ark St

Bad news is 3 Illinois players are getting into foul trouble with 2 personal fouls. The good news is that 5 Arkansas State players have 2 personal fouls as well.

Is it wrong to say that Grandison might just be my favorite player?

Ref ball huh. Will pay dividends when B1G play starts.

Seeing how Hawkins developed from last year is amazing. I think he already made up for Giorgi's leave, and I believe he will make up for Kofi's leave next year and become an All-Big 10 player.

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Hawkins is going to be very good by the end of year. 6’10 that can do it all. Wow

 

[OurMottoisOskeeWowWow]

That's 3 fouls on Arkansas State's Caleb Fields.

 

[skyIdub]

Good grief. The team is going to hear whistles in their deep tonight

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

I hope BU shuts down these theatrics and get the players to act like they have been there before. BTW, Co-Hawk is playing like he wants to be a starter. He is all over making playes with his passing, scoring and rebounding
