Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

TCTORNADO · Mar 10, 2016

5 assists and 0 TO's.. Remember the goal is over 15 and under 10 TO's.

Trakis · Mar 10, 2016

Like Groce said... we need to rebound. Keep this up + rebounds and we'll be fine.

Lewis came to play

Hill's poor defense is being exposed.

PaytonHighstep · Mar 10, 2016

DJW has to step in front of the cutter. That's an early season mistake, not a March mistake.

Going right at Hill.

Even the best defender would have a hard time on Uthoff.

nice flop Uthoff...

Keep feeding the MAV

I'm sure people gripe about poor defense against MH when he makes his stupid circus shots.

Trakis · Mar 10, 2016

And just like that it's a 2 point game.

Good start, my only gripe is not hitting jcl on the break when he fans out and he's wide open for 3, but that's not unique in this game, we've been making that bad decision all year. Seems like a lack of trust in the freshman

Yeah, I was yelling at the TV on that one too...

PaytonHighstep · Mar 10, 2016

getting in to Mav on that possession was good basketball. They needed a good look and drew the foul.

Need to keep it up the way he's playing. Get them to have to double him.

The big ten basketball commercials need to stop and whoever made them needs to be fired lol.

Thought it was a good tactic on Iowa's part.... Hill has a foul and the matchup works to boot. Groce took Hill out quickly, we'll see what the adjustment is.

i can tell why he doesn't use it more. Even going to his dominant hand.....SLOPPY finish

Bomb Squad 217 · Mar 10, 2016

I still would have liked to have taken CHristian Williams last year.

It was, but he did finish.

Even on the rebounds!

the national · Mar 10, 2016

Iowa is not ready for this game. very sloppy. Illini need to take advantage.

Bomb Squad 217 · Mar 10, 2016

Lock down everyone but Utoff and we can win this.

Bailey · Mar 10, 2016

So happy for Mav. There's still holes in his game, but he's come an incredibly long way since Thorne went down.
