Game Thread: Illinois vs Grand Canyon

[skyIdub]

Maybe the players had no sound for most of the first half?

 

[Spoon House]

This is better.

 

[savethechief2011]

Exactly this!!

Or he sees how black is doing and knows he's a better player so his eyes light up when he thinks about how many touches he will get

 

[skyIdub]

This is a very good defensive team. They move well.

Also, our defense will win at least 2 BIG games that we don't expect to win. I don't know which ones, but we will mess some teams up with our pressure, and it's going to get even better with time.

 

[skyIdub]

AJ LIVES!

 

[breadman]

OK, AJ gets us back to even. Now let's go get them please!! Bottom line: We can not lose this game.

Agreed, our pressure D is impressive to watch!

 

[Spoon House]

I do find it interesting that when BU was hired, the talk was about offense. But it's been our defense that's carried us thus far.

Guess we'll be scary once the offense clicks. Or we have reliable weapons. Or both.

How can you have TV time outs with no TV?

 

[skyIdub]

I don't understand why we wouldn't run screens, double screens, whatever it takes to get AJ 6-7 good looks per game.

Media timeouts. Radio needs commercials too.

 

[Jon]

Damn kipper just got did dirty

 

[skyIdub]

Kipper looks lost.

Somebody better flip the switch.

I'm watching it online so Online timeouts?

 

[CasualObserver05]

Feel for Kipper cause we know what he’s capable of but he can’t be on the floor right now.

 

[Spoon House]

Somebody better flip the switch.

Cue Frazier?

 

[Jon]

Trent starts hitting shots and we're good.

 

[CoalCity]

Kipper looks lost.

Somebody better flip the switch.

He sure does. What's going on with him lately?

 

[Bailey]

I know Tejon allegedly provides some leadership intangibles, but I'm not sure what else he's bringing to the team right now.

 

[CoalCity]

Man this is getting hard to watch

 

[Spoon House]

We are 2/11 from three point range.

This is not what we expected from this roster.

 

[breadman]

I beginning to get the feeling that this isn't going to end well. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Bailey]

why go 1 on 3 right there?

 

[Jon]

Freshmen being freshman af right now

 

[skyIdub]

He's just a freshman. He's just a freshman. He's just a freshman. He's just a freshman. He's just a freshman. He's just a freshman.
