Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Fighter of the Nightman]

We look bad (IMO), and we've tripled their score, LOL. Iowa looks awful. Let's keep goin', boys, because a loss would be horrendous.

15:05 remain Illinois 12-4

 

[Sal Iacuzzo]

that is a shot clock violation, should not have reset

Guys sound active so far. Pretty encouraging!

 

[aluma]

It's so frustrating seeing such a great player like Cook playing for the sqawkeyes. Why can't we get players like that.

 

[Spoon House]

The good Illini came out of the gate tonight.

Bodes well.

 

[Spoon House]

AJ sighting!

 

[aluma]

Note to self: teams look better when they make their shots.

LOL I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[CARPET]

24-13 Time Out

Kipper is a stud

Black is coasting

Good to see Mr JORDAN back

 

[Spoon House]

Balanced scoring attack tonight.

Surest way to keep opposing defenses uncomfortable.

 

[aluma]

I really like when Ebo comes in, he is refreshingly athletic and runs like a deer. I'm optimistic about his future here.

 

[CARPET]

Black checks in and within 2 seconds commits his 2nd foul

 

[aluma]

Also, I'd really prefer we don't fall in love with the 3 point shot.

 

[CoalCity]

Kipper got away with a walk. I'm good with that.

 

[Spoon House]

Deon just called Damonte "Frankie." Anybody else catch that?

 

[CoalCity]

Man it's nice to see AJ hit a couple shots.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

AJ's back.

 

[aluma]

My goodness, did my eyes just see Finke light a guy up with a great screen?

 

[CARPET]

29-15 good guys MR JORDAN has joined the party

 

[GoIllini23]

They r getting good looks

 

[CoalCity]

My goodness, did my eyes just see Finke light a guy up with a great screen?

Yeah he rocked his world

 

[CARPET]
