Game Thread: Illinois vs Colgate

It's gotta be the shoes.

Where is Petro? Why isn’t Big Z playing more?

 

[DeeIL89]

These freshmen we have are good.

 

[FloridaMan]

Couple of fr all big ten players will be nice. What a couple of gems the staff pulled in!

Davis is struggling out there on defense.

He's had a rough game on both sides

Considering how bad Colgate is at rebounding, this is effectively just another effort at giving Mirk rebounds and rim attempts.

 

[hoopsfan47]

With 4 min. to go the Illini have only 7 turnovers....not bad.

Who was the Montenagran Monster's conditioning coach back in the Balkans, Ivan Drago? Mirk's got 27 points and 20 rebounds, and isn't even breathing hard.

"How about a 30/20 game?" -- Brian B.

"Yes, please." -- Me.

Idk we’re dominating the glass and missing open looks. And we’re up 21. College basketball teams have shooting nights like this every year. If we make a few more open looks we’re up 40+. We’re fine lol.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh my! Mirk now 3pts away from 30/20

 

[GrayGhost77]

Never would have thought it would be the freshmen carrying us at this point in the season.

He may transfer out next year. Not sure if he'll ever get enough playing time with what BU has been doing with the talent.

 

[Mobi]

Not watching the game but based on the box score, is this the Mirk and Keaton beating up the cupcake game?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Any reason why Big Z is not playing?

Tweaked the knee and we’re about to be up 30 … There’s absolutely no reason for him to be in with what we have coming up …

Fagbemi, Jakstys and Redd should already be in …

 

[skyIdub]

DON'T HURT EM MIRK!

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

We don’t need no stinkin’ upperclassmen

 

[Piotyr]

Is 25/25 too much to ask for?

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. I just didn't know that he was hurt.

 

[Oranges]

Unreal second half from Mirk

 

[JKR]

With 4 min. to go the Illini have only 7 turnovers....not bad.

But, they only have 8 assists.

 

[FloridaMan]

Michigan needs a couple threes from morez . Down 6 right now. Lol

 

[IlliniFan42]

This man really doesn't have the schedules in front of him, he just has to read them off the graphics.

Already (half) done.
