Game Thread: Illinois vs Augustana

Hickory River Smokehouse...mmmmmmm.

Eh Blackdog is way better.

I don't care about margin of victory. I just want to see consistent effort for 40 min. We'll absolutely need that once conference play starts. Good to ingrain that now.

But they aren't an advertiser!

But we’re only supposed to win by 10, remember?

Good point but listening to BU since he arrived on campus, it sounds like he really doen't care about "suppose to" results. Again, we'll see.

Alstork excelling against lesser competition.

Could be the competition or could be that he is understanding the offense better. Or both.

 

[Illini_1979]

Great defense by Trent and Williams!

Thanks, Carpet. Score updates are much appreciated! :thumb:

 

[Illini_1979]

TV timeout. 3:43 to play in the half. Pretty fast first half so far.

 

[blackdog]

This team is soooo much better defensively up top. Replacing Hill, Tate, and JCL with Alstork, Williams, and Frazier makes a HUGE difference. Ball pressure, denial, anticipation, quickness, hustle.

 

[CARPET]

41-26 Illini

 

[dweebs19]

was that Smith's first missed FT?

 

[Illini_1979]
