Game Thread: Illinois vs Georgetown

[Deleted member 17900]

Does AJ have a shot tonight? He has been awfully quiet for a guy who was mentioned on the info for this game as being no relation to Michael.

He has a hard time getting shots off when defended by a long, athletic guy. Nothing new.

Kipper is doing a lot, look past points. Notice how many box outs/ rebounds he has. Helping keep Go an quiet. He also began to score.

He absolutely came on. When I posted that, it was bagels across the board for him.

I agree with you though. Much needed.

De la Rosa looks good in warmups. Jumping / Dunking with ease

Watch him in action, though. He's tentative.

Illini, playing without trent and having a 5:30 scoring drought, down only 2 at halftime....We need to continue to pressure the ball and start hitting at a 50 percent clip and we should be ok

Mac Mcclung is so out of control. Athletic dude, but looks like a freshman

Very athletic dude. If he can develop a lights out jump shop he will be tough to guard because he blows by everyone.

Not a bad half. I agree GT made some contested 3s that I wouldn’t expect a team to make consistently. I’m not buying my final four tickets just yet, but we have some pieces. Better than last years slow !!! team.

Is FS1 the Big East network? Halftime talk, all Hoyas, sounded like we were down 20.

I don't think you're far off. I believe when conference playing starts, they are the "go to" for Big East games.

More FT troubles? Seriously?

 

[GoIllini23]

We ever getting a call under the basket

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

What was big Gs ranking? I dont care!

And then a touch foul on Kipper about 30' from hoop

 

[ChiefGritty]

This is a fun game

This is a fun game

As long as we win....

 

[redwingillini11]

Lol we start rolling and get called for a tick tack foul...

Also I hope Georgi isn't just boosted by his mom's attendance and is ready to produce night in and night out!

 

[Spoon House]

I prefer fun games where we're up by 20.

Refs are iffy at best... Ayo gets hacked under the hoop, no call. Kipper bumps a guy 30 feet from the hoop, immediate call. Kinda suspect, to say the least.

It's going to be a bumpy ride these first two months. This team is GREEN and BU set up a pretty challenging schedule, which I love.

Just improve....that's all I ask.

They are Big Ten refs, you’d think we would have home court advantage if anyone does

 

[Illwinsagain]

Another touch foul on Kip

 

[Illwinsagain]

Ayo should shoot more...

 

[ChiefGritty]

Ayo's jumper looks better than it did in HS

 

[katytxillini]

If that is a foul on Kip then we should be in the bonus real quick. GW has their hands on our guards all the time.

 

[redwingillini11]

AYOOOOOOOO

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Boy, that was a terrific runner by Govan

 

[Illwinsagain]

Ayo should shoot more...

See....
