[Fly Illini Fly!]

Tugler just tackled Keaton on the rebound?

ILL INI Chants during the TV Time Out... fills your heart with joy

Excellent job. We're running the sets that diced up VCU early. That's how you break this Houston team down. Great distribution

We just returned the drive and dish gameplan Houston started in 2nd half.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Foul trouble due to stupid strategy at the half. Same strategy Florida employed against Iowa...

 

[illiniguy24]

We are better than them. Keep controlling the pace, playing D and taking care of the ball. Come on boys!

 

[fatboyslim]

please be smart now protect the lead

Yea this. Increase the lead would be nice too.

 

[Illini88]

Ok kudos to BU. Figured out the baseline cutter is available to drop to on Wagler drive!

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Heck of a response to garbage ref'ing. GO ILLINI!

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I'll never understand why a light touch 25 feet from the basket is a foul, but guys can get mauled under the basket with no call.

 

[BBIQ]

BU should have to give 10 percent of his salary back for that idiotic fouling sequence at the end of the half. Now Boswell is on the bench till the 10 minute mark. ASININE!!!!

Illini are the better team. Keep the pressure on Houston. They are not built for comebacks.

I wouldn't say they don't have a comeback in them... Sharp and Flemings could get going

But we've felt like the better team the whole game

[Da88]

Going to need to score EVERY time down with these refs

 

[fantasydaily708]

Wagler getting loose creating for others and getting his

 

[BWBW]

Would like to see fouls called on Houston as well.

[Battle89]

wow, a coach that calls timeouts to stop runs

1000 LIKES

 

[BrownTown]

Can I say it?!

We are better without Boswell in.

***Runs away***

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Mirk is so FN good as a distributor

except when he tries skip passes...

 

[zentrails]

Now that’s how you start a 2nd half

Yep, let's let Boz continue to sit for a while!

 

[Aldy1955]

I love this team! What fight!!!

Dish baby dish
