Game Thread: Illinois vs Eastern Illinois

[Illinifan74]

In my experience of being a spectator, free throw shooting is a reflection of how engaged the team is. When you’re not into it mentally, free throw shooting suffers. That’s my explanation.

Then Illinois has not been "into it" for 10+ years.

classic trap game, looking ahead to Oakland, after a birthday celebration last night, after a clock change on Sunday making them feel like this was an a.m. tipoff/s

Terrance coming out strong in this second half.

My only question from the first half is: Does DGL have the highest vertical on this team? Amazing elevation on his block.

So much better… good things happen when you attack!!!

I’m told EIU must prove that they can throw a strike.

 

[Sedino]

I’m told EIU must prove that they can throw a strike.

On a 2-0 count as well, not even 3-0!

Good Lord, how many times did he say that? 15 +/-

I’m told EIU must prove that they can throw a strike.

But do they have "permanent paint presence"?

38-10 Illini run

 

[jumpingjack]

Energy looks much better, this should be a 50 point win.

 

[Chad Fleck]

I can't believe TSJ hasn't been hurt yet in his time playing for the Illini. It's crazy how hard he drives towards the rim.

 

[GetAWin]

Do they have a guy named dRaymond green?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

MSU down 13 to James Madison. NW in a dog fight with something called Binghamton. I’m feeling a little better.

Also, how do you foul out with over 16 minutes left???

 

[Loyalillini10]

Malone fouled out with almost 17 minutes left in the game. Wowza.

 

[jumpingjack]

God as my witness, I would rather listen to Joe Buck call this game.

 

[so illini]

Score?

 

[NarrowJ]

DGL has pogo sticks for legs goodness

 

[skyIdub]

DGL is flat out earning minutes!

 

[Captain Bubbles]

DGL is a volcano.

 

[GetAWin]

Score?

52-31

Welp, I know whose autographed jersey I'm springing for next.
