Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[pruman91]

I’m suddenly feeling that flutter of nerves for this game. They’ve sucked me back in. This score is very very tight

my stomach is churning , and my migraine is worse , but a 5 point lead right now is soothing me some.....hope this ain't a psu meltdown.....I can't take 2 in a row.....I really really can't....

Amen, Robbie.

How did we turn into such a S"*t rebounding team

One guy gets burned off the dribble.
Two guys closest to the hoop help and attempt to challenge
No one left to block out and rebound.

DEFENSE!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The guards have to take us home. That's college basketball 101. Control the tempo, get the ball where it needs to be, break pressure, etc.

Domask needs to put a body on literally ANYONE

While there are flaws with this team, there has been strange voodoo with ranked teams struggling against unranked teams on the road.

And for the love of God, please box out Krikke!

So now that we are getting stops we can’t rebound

 

[NarrowJ]

I think they might've just missed a second out of bounds play in Iowa's favor in a span of a couple minutes. Would like to see a replay of that.

 

[BWBW]

Cohawk!

At least the defense is making them take tough shots...baby step is good. Keep it up guys!!

Despite the way the refs have called the game, we are at home.

I tell ya what watching Nico play D is good to see. If he gets beat it won't be from lack of focus. He is doing a damn good job and keeping Goode on the bench. Nico even had a bs call on Hawkins block. He has brought it today.

Extend the lead

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

We are actually guarding people and now we can’t rebound. FML

We're winning the rebounding margin.

 

[zentrails]

5-point lead. 5 minutes to go. Finish this thing strong. Expand the lead. For the love of everything.

They are tired, we are rested. Hopefully that mass benching pays off for us in the end in more ways than one

 

[Get yourself a new map]

No Ty. No rebounding. Get a damn clue.

Yep, Hawks down to 47% from the field.

 

[WyattEarp]

that basket by Harmon with great passes by Cohawk, then TSJ was poetry.........

Sheer Poetry…A+++++

[PNWIllini]

The effort is there. Hopefully so is the result
