Combined 5-14 from FT

Nothing from Ayo and Kofi really and we're in it.

Grandison doesn’t look ready for this stage

Giorgi just schooled.........

GIORGI. I’m sorry!

 

[Illini_Jack]

Baylor is playing great D

 

[SescIllini]

Great free throw defenses by both teams.

So lucky to have Giorgi

 

[freebird6]

both posts and their drop steps making both ends interesting and enjoyable to watch

 

[Retro62]

Giorgi feeling’ his oats

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

GIORGI!

Giorgi with a flashback dropstep

Do it to em GB!!!

 

[Jon]

Backup center giorgi is nice

 

[hoopsfan47]

Baylor obviously focusing defense to stop Ayo getting to the rim. Make him a jump shooter is good planning.

 

[TCTORNADO]

terrible offensive possession

[ejam21]

refs could call travels on baylor or Vital hacking at any point, would be nice

 

[Retro62]

Hate to repeat it...but still think we look out of sorts, and we’re up.

 

[BRucks]

Thank God for Giorgi.

He looks lost out there. Not good

only problem is it’s not like things just aren’t falling for Ayo, he is being shut down.

Giorgi got his swagger back! Uh oh!

Pace of play and ugly, scrappy style favors Illinois. Love it. Not gonna win this game if it’s in the 80s (it won’t be). We have a much better chance in the 60s (if we get there). Also... Giorgi came to play. Stepping up big time.

Vital seems to come from the foul until you're called for it school of basketball

Baylor's switching and length is bothering us
