Game Thread: Illinois vs Colgate

[hiberto]

what's with these phantom flagrants these last 2 games?

 

[JKR]

Women trail 29-28 at the half.

 

[FloridaMan]

Mirk may have to be given the red light on threes at the pace he’s on.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Strange Colgate didn't challenge that OOB. Definitely looked off us. We're getting some big time ref assistance today

One of their guys wanted them to as well

 

[DICKnaggie]

Mirk shooting 3s ain't it.

Who is shooting 3's well? The team is unfocused. Mirk will be fine.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I really don’t want to see all these soft flagrants throughout the season.

Gotta be a point of emphasis is all I can think, and man, what an incredibly stupid point of emphasis if that's what it is.

 

[Deep]

Mirk with 10 boards in 1st half

 

[Miles Leonard]

11 point lead at half and that was nowhere near our finest hour. We're fine.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Love Jake, but missing 5 threes in a half is not ideal.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah, Jake needs to make that shot. I'll take an 11pt lead at half playing like complete and utter garbage, but we better wake the hell up

 

[IlliniFan42]

This really is an amateur production

 

[FloridaMan]

Terrible half. One to learn from.

Aaaaaand she forgot to turn the mic on lol

 

[Illini1977]

I’ve never seen a big+ on the court interview not have “technical difficulties”

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

would have been nice for that one to go down. 14 points all things considered would have been a break...

and not to tell brad and tyler how to do their jobs.. but can we please put someone actually at the free throw line middle?

 

[thehass]

This looks like one of those games where we just show up and expect to win by 30. Lesson learned. Take the ball to the basket.

 

[Olaf B]

Mirk rebounding reminds me of Dennis Rodman for some reason. He's just right there when the ball comes down.

 

[Grandpa]

So the Big Z limping and JJ playing. That's not in the A Plan

 

[madillini4]

No Petrovic, disappointing but if there’s one injury you don’t want to rush it’s a hammy. They’re a *****.

[zentrails]

What in the world...

I check the score and see this nonsense?

really bad shooting tonight, fortunately they are shooting even worse
Only bright part so far is our offensive rebounds which we're getting lots of chances at unfortunately due to point number 1

 

[BTM33]

A pretty poor half...

They'll have to figure the zone out. Middle man at the free throw line has to be more involved...this is where we really miss Tomi.

Wagler is really good...

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

big+ just horrible all around. First we have to pay extra, second and even worse is these media major students get a chance to show their stuff then when they get their interview big+ can’t even get audio turned on for coach interview. Not first time either!

 

[BrownTown]

Waste of 12.99

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

I don't know what their roster turnover has looked like, but this is a program that has consistently been in the NCAA tourney the past decade and put a scare into some teams. I felt like -31.5 was a huge spread on this one
