Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

[TheodoreRex]

Dain has to come out. Dude just tipped the ball away from his own player right to FAU and for a layup

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Hawk's defense is soooo good.

 

[CDRUSN]

Very exciting high level game by two heavyweight contenders just throwing punches back and forth. My sphincter is puckered so tight, I could break a ten penny nail in half. Love the effort!

 

[JAbada]

I'm so glad that I don't have cable. And can't go to BWW to scream at the TV. I'm just sitting in Evansville with the score pinned to my phone screen.. still nervous.

TSjr. may have the strongest knees and ankles in the game.

Domask is taking off...

 

[abchew2]

They are looking frustrated! Throttle them!

 

[FloridaMan]

Let's gooooooooooo! Bring this home!

 

[New Creation]

Time to put the squeeze one them now. Slowly choke them out

 

[Illini_Jack]

I am so impressed with how we are playing right now

 

[Illini8420]

I love this team

 

[Ryllini]

As much as ESPN doesn't want us to, I'd love to run this Owl team off floor these last 9 minutes

Domask is literally the Wisconsin player that beat us for so many years.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

It’s wear them out time… let’s go.

I usually like these announcers but man the love fest for FAU has been unbearable.

 

[Illini8420]

This is the best Illini team since 2005

Such a fun game so far. TSJ and Domask look awesome. Everyone playing their roles great. Dainja is my only bone to pick, he’s mentally lazy on D. Has to close out on their big guy at the top of the arc

 

[Chad Fleck]

Someone's head snapped back, so they must look at video I guess.

No matter that his teammate hit him.

 

[PopChampaign]

Time to put the squeeze one them now. Slowly choke them out

 

[JimILL75]

Everyone but a small percent of Illini fans like Hawkins and appreciate his all around play

 

[FloridaMan]

Here comes the clown review show

 

[HailtotheChief]

Make these FTs Hawk.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Refs giving them a breather.
