Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[CoalCity]

Ebo does a good job on that high post.

 

[aluma]

Can we please stop freakin fouling and play some defense. Our defense has been atrocious in this first half. Thankfully we just played the best offensive half we can possibly play.

 

[Sal Iacuzzo]

letting them back into it at the FT line

 

[IlliniMed]

how the hell was that a foul on smith? lol

 

[aluma]

Ok Trent, now that you got your heat check out the way, please let the shots come to you and stop forcing them.

54-41

Smith thinking too much.. playing with no confidence..expected more of Mr. Bb

 

[aluma]

54 points at HALFTIME, when is the last time we did that? But oh wait, we gave up 41 stinking points to a bad Iowa team.

I guess Iowa did score 44 against Maryland recently.

14 of those 41 at the line. Back to the ticky tack BIG officiating. Give Iowa credit, they're making them count, otherwise we are completely dominating this game.

Both teams like to play fast. It was bound to be a high-scoring game.

 

[aluma]

I tell you what, it is so much fun watching a team play that fast and score that many points. We have all been asking for this type of offense for years. I have to remind myself of that.

Maybe Mr. BB expected fans to be tougher than Halloweenie? Just sayin.

 

[PlayAZ]

Very consistant first half, shooting is back, offensive movement seems crisper. This makes sense now that we are into the season...the players seem to be getting more comfortable.

The back cut from Jordan with G passing is what I expect in the half court by a BU offense more often than not...cant remember another similar play so far this year, effortless, comfortable and seamless in execution. Man I hope it continues the rest of this year.

Long gone are the days of the 15-ft corner jumper or baseline turnaround... Thanks a lot, Golden State.

 

[aluma]

Haha, I come back in from the bathroom and Iowa scores 10 points in 2 minutes. Great start Illinois

 

[IWannaBeLikeDee]

Jesus Christ.... I dont think I can do this again.

 

[sully]

just an awful start smh come on Illini don't blow this one

 

[Sizzler22]

This is illinois basketball lol can't even make this stuff up anymore

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Not too good.

 

[Spoon House]

Here we go again.

 

[IlliniMed]

Looks like we reverted back to jump shots and one on one. Take finke out immediately

 

[Illini4life04]

LOL

 

[IlliniMed]

Oh, and they have 12 more FT
