Game Thread: Illinois vs Drexel

[OrangeLife]

Anyone else feel like the ball seems a little funky? Sticky, squishy, under inflated, but something.

Players seem to have adjusted but ball just seems to be doing some funny things out there.

Might just be the rims though, hard to tell. Just hit nothing but net and it won't matter.

Nice scoring burst
Elite d and getting our transition game going

Very strange

Drexel's rim seems weirdly "absorbent" and vibration-free.

Sorry for the slow start guys. Forgot to drink from my lucky Illini mug. We’re all good now. Won’t happen again.

Thaaaaat's a threee: Adam Miller (Sorry, I know he's been gone awhile, but I miss that call)

 

[Fr8trn16]

Let's go! I-L-L!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Miller. That was nice.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Giorgi looks locked in now.

 

[I11ini82]

We need to clean up the defensive glass. Too many 2nd chances for Drexel.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Trent locked in on both ends!

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Miller has a smooth stroke. Another summer of working on his shot and his driving game and he will be a star

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We're heating up!

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Miller definitely looking to drive. He will be a monster next year!

Wheels are turning now

seems like the rims at Hinkle and the Fairgrounds are a bit soft. Strange, I do not remember that when I have been live at either.

We’re speeding them up. They can’t handle it

NCAA probably brings in their own baskets and rims.

Did anyone tell the announcers that "Amazing" is a trademarked word?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Don't think we played that well. Still up 18 at the half.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Last 5 minutes? More please!

 

[frozenrope9190]

Worrying about a score in the first 10 minutes of a game is like worrying about a baseball team's record in Mid May. As long as you're not ridiculously down, things will even themselves out and the talent will rise to the surface.

 

[altenberger22]

Just peeking in.......sluggish start but a good recovery ---- and we've almost covered the spread by halftime.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Nice half. Worked the opening jitters out for the most part. Looking for us to blow the doors off in second half but can't take this team lightly. They will shoot better in the second half and threes can get you back in it in a hurry.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Slow start, ended the half strong.
