Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[InDaAZ]

We’re starting to see opponents fighting each other in their pursuit to glom onto Kofi’s arms when he goes up to shoot.

 

[sully]

Thank you Trent! And1 Lets go Illini!

 

[Rocky]

DMW needs to know that Galloway will drive. Can go UNDER the screen to defend Galloway.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Did Galloway make first or second team All-America???

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

weak call

 

[sacraig]

What on Earth was that from Hawkins? Great pickpocketing followed by an absurdly botched dunk. Oof.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Hawkins ugh

 

[skyIdub]

Fast break? More like fast broken.

Looked like he lost the handle on the way up

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

About time Hawk took the 3, IU is begging him to shoot it

 

[Illini_Jack]

Hawkins ugh

This was about the missed dunk, not the 3

 

[WSIOTCSS]

The amount of points we’ve left at the rim today already my goodness

 

[urbanite]

Tie game after nine minutes with no FG? I'll take it. Not going to work in the tourney, though.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Hawkins ugh

Catch it with two hands. For that matter, dunk it with two hands.

 

[sully]

Hawkins with the redemption 3 lol

tied at 21 despite missing a TON of easy shots. Here's hoping our guys stay dialed in and not lose sight of what's at stake. Lets go ILLINI!

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Sounds on TV about a 50-50 crowd? Going to be a great atmosphere in second half if it stays this even

 

[spillini]

I am going to need therapy for the missed dunks of late

sigh

Saving them for Iowa?

 

[Rocky]

Galloway was the spark yesterday, and is the key. DMW just keep him from driving.

They'll start falling and as Indiana gets gassed they will be even more open shots. Play the defense we have so far and we win.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Looks like Illini fans showed up!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I suppose we could shoot worse, but I don't ever want to see it if we do. Out of the 14 missed shots, maybe three were contested.

 

[grantlab]

Open shots. Not scoring. Can’t complain too much… yet…

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Payne got away with one.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Two hard to believe stats...getting beat on the boards but only ONE turnover. Can't shoot bricks forever but being competent with the ball is very invigorating.
