Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[DeeIL89]

Defense and rebounding have been solid. The boys are battling.

The ball is overinflated, right?

It's a tournament ball so yes

 

[NASchamp]

Tugler is going to make it to the second half with only 1 foul isn’t he?

That’s insane.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

His drives have been very good. He’s getting there.

Just not finishing though. The missed layups are the issue.

Defensively he’s been great.

he's gotta finish - hopefully he loosens up and doesnt let the pressure get to him...

either that or a couple hotspots on the floor. some weird bounces

Defense has been pretty damn solid. Offense has looked pretty good, just gotta shoot a little better, and we’re in good shape.

 

[NashvILLe05]

Andrej has been unreal. Three level scorer tonight…please keep it up!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Getting 50% more rebounds than the Cougars....got keep it that way.

 

[azillini1]

Wagler and Bam with a combined one point and 0 for 8 from the floor. We need more from them if we are going to win this. Thank goodness for Dre tonight

A ton of Orange in the crowd.

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

Win these 4:19

 

[HailtotheChief]

Keaton just finish

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Bad pass.

 

[Illini88]

AS can score on smaller opponents. Did not realize we would have such a size advantage

 

[CentralILLini]

3 bad to by mirk

CMON!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

C'mon guys - no unforced errors......

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Houston has to start making some buckets eventually, but let's get so far ahead that it doesn't matter

 

[FloridaMan]

Unforced turnovers are not helping. Have to clean it up

 

[hoopsfan47]

Few in this world appreciate how much I totally despise that kind of turnover.

[ILLINIFAN2]

FFS

 

[AssemblyHallForever]

We cannot keep turning the ball over.

 

[Illinicpa14]

Don’t drop the effort with the lead - 40 hard minutes will get this done

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

missed layups and turnovers ugh… should be up 12+. Finish half strong

 

[neuman]

lazy passes
