Let's start a nice little win streak.

I would prefer a win over a loss.

Te'Jon Lucas is not dressed and doesn't look like he'll play.

If we lose this game because we have a shortage of competent ball-handlers, I think I will just punch myself in the face. At least then the suffering will make sense.

 

[Ghost of Groce]

Mark Smith back up PG then?

 

[BRucks]

Violation of team rules?

Off the Goose Egg....Illini 78-Iowa71

Werner tweeted team rules.

 

[FC Illiniman]

TJL moving further down the bench, really not looking good. Hope we play good defense, limit turnovers, we should run them out of gym.

I look for Leron Black to have a solid game. Recovering from the Flu 2 weeks now getting better every day at about 80%.

Lucas has really been a disappointment so far this year. He has been inconsistent and hard to trust to make good decisions when the game is on the line. Now a team rules issue, not a good look.

I hate to see that sort of thing.

 

[Spoon House]

Finke on the board with a putback.

MR BLACK for 2 8-4 Illini

 

[CoalCity]

Finke with a steal to start the break. 7 seconds offense!

In 1846, there was inbreeding Over Wide Area, thus IOWA became a state. Beat IOWA!!

Kipper with a strong hair game tonight

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We are pretty awful at finishing layups. :doh:

Smith comes in and does exactly what has led to his limited playing time, fouls... He has to stop using his hands on defense. Show hands and move feet, that is how you won't get fouls called against you. Then he can use his size/body strength against the offensive player.
