Game Thread: Illinois vs Baylor

[ChocolateThunder]

Baylor plays Big 10 defense, do not see that all that often.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Need Ayo to be a lot more assertive to have a chance. He seems so passive so far (with the exception of the most recent possession). More of that, please!

Damn . Those cats are quick on quick

They have the same kind of team as the Illini, just more experienced.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Defense is good. Early TOs gotta tighten up. Hit those free throws

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Is it just me or does this feel like the last game at the Y and they're about to turn the lights off?

 

[logjam]

Ayo scoreless

 

[SuperMetroid]

1-6 FT so far

 

[Illini_Jack]

Make your free throws!

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

That hurt, KC has 2

 

[Butters]

Kofi two fouls was about the worst possible thing that could happen.

 

[JSpence]

Baylor using their bench a bit more so far, by the numbers.

 

[wettsten]

Make your free throws!

did everyone else shout that simultaneously at the tv?

 

[hoopsfan47]

Box says Illini have 4 TOs and 1-6 from charity. Now 2 for 8

 

[azillini1]

Kofi with 2 fouls hurts us!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Kofi in early foul trouble. Baylor is controlling the pace and flow of the game.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Baylor is very long

 

[freebird6]

Brought it down again. Hard habit to break

 

[Deleted member 747277]

not pretty, but what we need from Giorgi

 

[Orange Wave]

Gonna need GB

 

[skyIdub]

Ayo scoreless

...and still within 1.

Bodes well for second half.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Georgi getting some confidence back in his short game.

 

[TheAngryBavarian]

Like Georgi's leadership

 

[JSpence]

Calls against Baylor pretty tight.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Huge difference, Baylor makes FTs and we dont

 

[hoopsfan47]

Baylor already hammering Illini at the stripe
