Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

[SuperMetroid]

Cohawk finally!

 

[HailtotheChief]

One thing both these teams are showing us experience matters too. If we don't make mental errors I feel we can win this.

 

[azillini1]

Hawkins a huge 3

 

[Ryllini]

Big Coleman! Just what thr Dr ordered

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Whens the last time we actually made those wide open 3's?

 

[abchew2]

I hate that I’m saying that about a wide open 3

 

[LoveLovie]

WE NEEDED THAT

 

[Illini_Jack]

What a game this has been

 

[DReq]

Hawkins seems to come alive when he can't see anyone for half the court around him. I don't blame FAU for letting him shoot that. It just doesn't work out a lot for the opponents. Now if CH will not try ones that are contested.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

CoHawk. Thank you.

 

[Da88]

I love what domask is doing, but we're starting to stand around and watch him.

 

[Ryllini]

This is only December!

Felt CoHawk was due...and felt good when he released on balance and not moving. Law of avgs. has to catch up some day...and it finally did.

W or L...all this game does for me is verify that we have what it takes to go to Arizona.

Now we just have to put it together.

 

[Illiniam1984]

These refs no words. Terrible!

 

[Ryllini]

I love what domask is doing, but we're starting to stand around and watch him.

That last was by design. He has dominated that matchup. They helped with Goldin, Coleman was the outlet.

I love what domask is doing, but we're starting to stand around and watch him.

Not so much the last 2 possessions.

But it was reminding of me a bit of Ayo at Michigan a few years ago.

 

[Boskydell]

Domask looking like Pickett

Domask looking like Doncic.

 

[walzon]

this game is insane

 

[So ILL]

“Vlad Goldin’s a difference maker tonight”

When you dont have to worry about fouling out, I imagine it makes it easier to be one.

 

[DReq]

This is only December!

You know, I've pretty much forgotten that other sport. You know, the one with the misshapen ball and helmets. This sport is way more fun. This year, at least.

 

[azillini1]

The only reason this is close is FAU's offensive rebounding

 

[illinifreak30]

Domask looking like Doncic.

That’s exactly who he’s looking like

 

[FromTheLogo]

Like Ty over Harmon for D. Could we play him? Domask is bringing the ball up.

Our FG% only dropped from 65% to 64% since the 10 minute mark. FAU just playing tough (and making FTs)
