Game Thread: Illinois vs Chicago State

[LTUtd]

KJ with the finger roll. That dude has a lot of different shots in his bag.

I never know with him, if it's a big bag, or just him improvising on the fly.

 

[New Creation]

This is a for sure get right game for our shooters before conference. This is good. We need that confidence before heading west.

Who would win between Chicago State and Maryland Eastern Shore?

We played them both so we should have a good idea at the end

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Playing these 0-14 stiffs is a waste of time. Build in some lazy habits playing scrubs.

Every game is an opportunity to improve our rotation. Yeah the entertainment value is low but that’s not the point of setting up this kind of game at this point in the season.

There it is. Try not to Loyalty too hard.

Love my team but these games don't help much. Maybe get Riley fired up. Saw first game in Assembly Hall in 1963 when I was 8. Bleed Orange and Blue.

Rez's free throw stroke looking cleaner.

Edit: If Rez is scoring, it's getting even harder to justify Ben getting playing time tbh.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Interesting high-low set. Twice. Three times.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

18 points for Ivisic, 18 points for Chicago State

 

[Goillinikobd]

Booooring

 

[Illinifan74]

Can they just stop this at halftime, I honestly feel bad for Chicago State.

 

[DeeIL89]

Nice couple of sequences between Tomi and Morez on the floor together.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Morez/Tomi with three guards is an awesome lineup. Really hope Morez stays around multiple years.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

60!

 

[WeWillWhen]

Rez assigned to their lead guard on the defensive end. This is fun.

Back to my input from a few hours ago, better to do an intra squad real game simulation than this joke

 

[kyillinifan]

What is the record points for a first half.

 

[derrick6]

Defense is great as we all marvel about the offense.

KB still needs to finish those bunnies and maybe eliminate the “dribble down the court and Jack up a three” play.

Hum with a few nice plays on the defensive side and a couple of rebounds.

Like to see Booth get more time.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Great defensive stop at the end there by Ben …

 

[LTUtd]

Games like these is why every top international prospect needs to go to college. Easy way to pad the stats and raise your draft stock, instead of having to play against grown men back in Europe and get hip checked every few minutes.

Playing in front of a sold out crowd is worth something.

 

[Goillinikobd]

What is the record points for a first half.

When a 24 team plays a 400, probably whatever we get plus one more

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Seth Davis is on BTN now? FML

 

[WeWillWhen]

This game is at least giving our guys live practice against a zone.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Completely disagree. Your buy-in as a player is totally different in those situations.

 

[TheodoreRex]

This game is the definition of a get right game, so I check the boxscore thinking this was Ben's chance to get right...
0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist against Chicago St. and we've scored 60 as a team.

Biggest swing and a miss from Underwood in the transfer portal that I can remember..
