Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[Chad Fleck]

I thought for sure RJ got called for hanging on the rim again.

 

[BBIQ]

Hawkins lol Good lord

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Are we gonna get the annual RJ hanging on the rim technical?

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Flashbacks of the RJ Houston tech call.

 

[hiberto]

Ark. player wanting a T to be called?

 

[OneTime3]

Holeeeephuuuuuc, imagine if we had those two free throws.

 

[Illini60613]

Hit two free throws, Harris with a steal and assist, 5 point game and Arkansas tightens....book it now

I was off by a minute...LET"S GOOOOOOOO

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

5 FREAKING points come on now. There's so much time. Keep it coming.

 

[Jimbo]

Is this gonna be a momentum killing review?

 

[grantlab]

Almost got to check “RJ tech for hanging on the rim” off my March Madness bingo card… we got a bit lucky there

I seriously don’t want us to get much closer and end up losing. That would just make it worse realizing what could have been

Look at it this way, we've played so poorly that we shouldn't win this game. Even if we lose, we can know that we didn't deserve to win it. Winning it would be a great surprise

He woulda earned that one

 

[Illini8420]

Nice let’s go

 

[LoveLovie]

This has the feeling of “let’s review during commercial”

 

[New Creation]

clearly a better team with MM on the bench. not even close

 

[FloridaMan]

Chicken &hit call. You gonna call that in the NCAA tournament? Get lost.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

RJ wants to keep playing.

 

[GallopingGhost]

That’s a tech on RJ right? /s

 

[DICKnaggie]

If we played that lineup instead of force feeding Mayer we might have had a shot.

Ya Brad let that go way to long.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Jim Jackson said if we could get it to 5 by the 2:30 mark…let this be destiny

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

This actually leaves me with some hope. Same with last year where our “next year lineup” was really good

Rj played his butt off in this game and the Houston game

 

[GrayGhost77]

Once again spotting the other team double digits in the first half will cost us the game most likely. Story of our season.

 

[Chad Fleck]

RJ went 15 feet to get right in Smith's face. Not wise, young man.

 

[hiberto]

why do we wait so long to go to the press every time

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Ah man that was our chance.
