Game Thread: Illinois vs Fairleigh Dickinson

[Battle89]

And No time outs!

Let’s just play a running clock second half

 

[Illini in Indiana]

20 rebounds by Brown, Coleman, and Stojakovic in the 1st half

 

[NarrowJ]

Have two players from the same team ever had triple double in same game?

 

[InDaAZ]

35-8 rebounding margin
12-1 3pt margin

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

We're outrebounding them 4-to-1.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Coleman is ahead of where Wagler was last year, this time.

Wagler in his first game last year, this time:

18pts, 6rebs, 4ast, 4-8 FG, 2-2 3pt.

I think he was pretty good.

Lord we play fast now.
I mean we play fast. Lord.

Coleman is ahead of where Wagler was last year, this time.

We didn’t even figure out who Wagler was till the UConn game. Awesome to get QC playing like this off the rip.

Vaaks’ release is hair trigger. Blink and it’s gone.

Raphael D with the Marvin the Martian tie?

Favorite studio dude.

 

[JKR]

A to TO is 17 to 2

It’s difficult to do what the Illini did that half to a high school team. I mean that was a masterpiece half. I don’t care who they’re playing. We play Duke that hard on both sides of the ball, shoot that well, and crash the boards like we are we’d be up on them by 20+ at half. There are games where a team looks absolutely unbeatable. That was that first half. We looked incredible.

We won't be able to rebound as well and get away with constant skip passes against Duke.

Tomi with the cleanup on aisle 3.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Has that Braden Smith look and feel.

But will he ever be able to grow that type of beard???

 

[pruman91]

set down to watch an Illini BB game and a track meet broke out......it really really did .....

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Andrej is just terrific. Already was.

Put in this pace...

 

[Jon]

Tomi just a different dude

And no one is mentioning 2 turnovers while playing 12 guys. But, remember, a team is never as good as their best game...or as bad as their worst. But I love watching a plethora of Illini playing well and hitting shots.

Gotta work hard to make this their floor...against the TTechs, Dukes, and UConns of CBK....but that is the dream. Just keep the confidence building, even while watching Duke shoot a 68% first half from the floor with 43% from the arc. But, unfortunately, the best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Looks like Davis isn't expected to return. Not good.

 

[Jimbo]

I’ll be heading to Lubbock over the weekend. Have my game tickets in hand for the Tech game.

 

[lstewart53x3]

I play pickleball. The other day, me and my boy beat a couple of old ladies 11-1, so I know exactly what this feels like.

 

[illini0440]

dont love that being announced so early

He dislocated his shoulder. He wasn’t going to come back

 

[whatahack]

Help me out...was there a rule change.
FDU now has 2 timeouts
