Game Thread: Illinois vs Duquesne

[JAbada]

They're making some shots.. That's why you can't take a lead for granted

 

[Chief84]

Would love to see Moretti, Lawhorn, and Hansberry get several minutes at the end!

 

[hiberto]

yep Avery good to see QG get going

Imagine how much more angsty we would be feeling if Duquesne had been hitting these threes in the first half.

Defensive effort lagging

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Duquesne coming out shooting this half.

 

[Combo]

Pedal to the metal for another 20

Yup. Not only to win the game, but to instill the habit of going all out for 40 minutes.

 

[IlliniKat91]

First half spoiled me. They're within 21 and I'm bothered by it

 

[Heisenbobble]

This might be picking nits, but Illinois has got to grab defensive rebounds better. It's getting really annoying.

 

[floorburn]

Has it been mentioned that Dain has made 18 straight field goals since the Ohio State game? Apologies if it has already been pointed out.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Defensive effort lagging

They buried three contested bombs. The one they missed ended up in a dunk in the other direction. Let them fire away.

 

[jumpingjack]

Keep punching.

 

[Jimbo]

This is not over. Ask Nevada how fast a lead can evaporate.

 

[JAbada]

OOOOOOOOHHHH THEY FLYIN ILLINI NOW BOYS!!1

They need their own name

 

[Illini88]

Good strategy by them. Gun from three. If the go 8-10 could make it a game

 

[Mr. Roberts]

One spurt here and put them away.

That is absolutely wild. And some of them have been really high degree of difficulty for anybody but the dancing bear!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Not a fan of the long 3s by Coleman and the wavering concentration on D. We need to take a No-Doze or two and get our focus back.

 

[Champaign88]

Let’s sign Avery up for BTN. Much more entertaining than Bardo or Hummel.

Very nice catch!

 

[Chad Fleck]

This vaunted Duquesne defense doesn't looks so...vaunted.

They can't stop Domask or Shannon.

I'm not surprised.

 

[TheodoreRex]

0 chance they keep hitting these contest 3's. I love everything about how we are playing.

 

[ILLI die hard]

Lets not let up boys, my liver needs a break from the BTT and Morehead game. Put the peddle to the metal!

 

[abchew2]

They are making some shots now but they also have had zero ability to stop us

 

[aaeismacgychel]

God was that beautiful ball movement
