Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

I feel good. Maybe I'm a homer but I feel like we're executing better than them. We're just not making shots. Make shots, win. Even after a half of not making shots, we're still winning.

Announcers actually said (right or wrong) that we did that to get Z in to the game.
Use the TO Brad!
I disagree - hearing Jaylen Rose say “shoot that !!!!!” live i was cackling
We went to Tomi down low 1 time. He schooled their big guy. AS drove mid half and torched their D. Then, we decided to have KW dribble out top and try to drive. Why? Let's get back to getting the ball low, going to work or kick out for shots, driving to the bucket and keep playing D and this game can be won!

with all the complaining we all did.. We are still up 2 at half.. 20 minutes of basketball. Just have to win by 1!
LETS GO BOYS!!

Yeah, our boys haven’t had many looks from 3
Wonder what kind of instructions are being passed to the refs at halftime on how to call the rest of the game.

Love me some Jake, but damn how can we not keep Andrej on the floor more
We were in the bonus with 5:28 remaining.
We proceeded to go 0-1 from the FT line.
Ouch.

We’re going to see how brilliant Brad is at making halftime adjustments
Couldn’t agree more!
The one they called on the drive he was fouled, very obviously, twice before the one they called it’s honestly hilarious.
Then Jake gets literally jumped on no call. Down the court a little touch foul called on him.
I’d have been ejected already if I was Brad.
He might foul out this half

Agree but he cannot turn down guaranteed $10 million per year for 4 year, 1st contract. He'll get stronger like Riley has.
Can we lament the miss opportunities after the game? We’re up at half and this soft European team that was supposed to get pushed around isn’t exactly getting pushed around. We’re playing Houston. It was never going to be pretty. Just win baby.
If we're going to win this game it's got to be through Andrej/Mirk/Tomi. The buckets at the hoop are there for the taking
Tomi got trapped after that and lost the ball once. But yes I do agree we should try it more than we did.
