Feeding the post well, Giorgi settled in to make it count.

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.

A little blood in the water.

JG was such a great pickup

 

[GallopingGhost]

YES!!! More of this

We're running the court really well. Glad we're taking this game seriously and bodes well for what's coming up.

I said that Illinois would likely come away not looking as "pretty" as some of the other top seeds. Drexel plays SLOW. If we play Loyola, so do they AND they have a great defense. If we somehow get Tennessee instead of Oklahoma State, same thing.

Expect lower scoring, "uglier" games due to less possessions and better defensive teams (relative to other regions).

 

[Orangetool]

I love that we are spreading the scoring around.

AND BOOM

Adam Miller is such a good defender. Textbook stance and footwork.

 

[GallopingGhost]

You must not be from around here, lol

Champaign born and raised but I just don’t like complaining about refs unless it’s pretty egregious. I do hate Bo and Kelley Pfifer tho

Miller is such a solid player. Future is bright.

I’d love to play anyone other than Oklahoma state in that sweet sixteen game.
