Game Thread: Illinois vs Eastern Illinois

Dainja looking good here in the second half; man Sincere!!!! Gonna be fun watching him

So this freshman class seems pretty darn good, huh.

Was looking back at the roster for underwood’s first team here and I don’t think Alstork or Finke would’ve kept any of the kids out of the starting lineup tbh.

When Harris grows into his body a bit more he’s gonna be an absolute handful.

Gorgeous wrap pass by that Carlesimo kid

I think it’s mildly surprising PJ Carlesimo’s kid winds up playing basketball in Charleston, IL of all places.

 

[KingWolf11]

Almost

 

[sunman]

I think Harris was trying to lay that up there.

 

[Icy veins]

Getting Ja Morant vibes from Sencire good LORD

 

[madillini4]

if everything is about playing well in the tournament Boeheim, why do you only have 1 national title in 46 years at Syracuse?

He can kick rocks. Never liked that chump.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Boeheim living rent free in these announcers heads. I think they forgot they're paid to call the game.

 

[skyIdub]

Still shot of Sencire:/s

Dainja is just such a good example of hard work + Fletch. Kid looks way more athletic and fluid than I anticipated

 

[sunman]

Dainja is going to help us this year.

He just needs to play hard the whole time. Jmo.

 

[skyIdub]

That rim hating on Sencire!!

 

[dbeverly26]

lol Sincere don’t care at all

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

I like me some Carlisimo

Is that you Spree?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

The B10 is going to have absolute nightmares about Sencire Harris and Ty Rodgers by the end of their careers. They are beyond ridiculous defensively and they're only freshmen. The thing I like most is how hard Rodgers and Clark are crashing the boards defensively. That is pure heart and effort.

 

[eas23]

That was really funny

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I wouldn't mind watching this EIU team against a more even level of competition in the OVC. They have some interesting players.

And this won't be the only B1G team they'll see. They'll play in Columbus in a couple weeks and travel to Iowa City right before Christmas.

They were predicted to finish 9th out of 10 teams in the OVC preseason poll with Lindenwood being the only one picked below them. Lindy's had them finishing 6th in the OVC.

Flyin Illini!

 

[POWURR]

DAINJA DAINJA

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Still shot of Sencire:/s

I was getting more Marcus Liberty vibes.

 

[BRucks]

Hawk with another double/double.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Dainja Zone needs to become a thing.

 

[Ryllini]

Way better defense this second half, specifically the past 5-7 minutes. I'm sure EIU is worn the hell out.

 

[zentrails]

Epps going to the locker room, looks like an ankle issue dang

He's back in false alarm

 

[Jimbo]

Did I miss something and "FF" is now a thing?

Funny. I don’t how it became FF but it became a thing last year I think.
