Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa State

[TownieMatt]

Can't start much worse. Fouling like last year. Not getting anything in the halfcourt.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

So we’re all thinking how much we’d like THT getting some of Kipper’s minutes in an Illini jersey, right?

 

[sully]

nice 3 right there !

 

[schlagboy]

I can’t stand Bill Walton

I think kids these days call it “cringe”.

 

[Maylonillini19]

I am not a fan of our half court offense at all. Maybe we do not run it efficiently or correctly. Whatever the case it seems so stagnant. Ball screen, ball screen again, pray someone gets an open 3. We have repeatedly missed on back door cuts. I was definetly expecting more dribble penetration.

 

[sully]

listening to some good music and have Walton on MUTE .

Both teams look like they played last night.

 

[Ryllini]

Could you imagine Gary Busey and Bill Walton in a room together?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Griffin gaining a little more confidence every game.

 

[TheAngryBavarian]

On a more positive note, Adonis looks way better compared to GU game.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Quite the awkward slide there by Shayok. Hope he's ok tomorrow

Is anyone else watching the ESPN app feed with no announcing and graphics with scores? The camera is also from the top of a backboard...

I am watching on Fire stick and espn app. Mine was like this at first, then I backed out, and restarted game and it is good.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Not to beat a dead horse, but Kipper’s defense has been awful.

 

[TheAngryBavarian]

Walton talking about a pig farm...ok then.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Frazier, Kipper, and Giorgi all with 2 fouls already.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

Need to wear them down - we have to stay in the game without fouling out - just wait them out.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

I'm about ready for some Ayo

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Love that play by Feliz. With a depleted ISU roster, we should be trying to create foul trouble

 

[skyIdub]

I hope there’s fresh coffee in the locker room.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nichols is just a body out there. Another BU proclaimed..."Elite Talent". Like Finke was an "Elite Shooter".

 

[IlliniCC]

What’s the tournament record for fouls committed by one team? I bet we are on pace to shatter that.

 

[SescIllini]

Is Weber coaching us via live streaming. Somewhere he is smiling proud.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

What’s the tournament record for fouls committed by one team? I bet we are on pace to shatter that.

Don't we literally hold the record for most team fouls in one game, in a(n NCAA) Tournament game vs. Arizona in 2001?

Anyway, not really getting the negativity. Let's keep playing hard and, like others have said, try to wear them down. We do that, and we'll get the W.

 

[illini4fan]

All these damn fouls!! Ugh!!

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Wow, Dell Rosa runs the floor and gets 2
