Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[fatboyslim]

Harmon has been so good in this game. Reminds me of Bruce Brown a little bit. Always around the ball and in the lane.

Look at Harmon use the body to create space on the finish.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I would rather Nico bring the ball up than Marcus when it's a close game from now on.

Can he make free throws? There in lies the rub.

As much as Hawkins drives me crazy sometimes, that last pass to harmon was NBA elite

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Nico and Harmon were the defibrillator that restarted the heart of this team. We have a pulse again.

Harmon with no TO's, 3 for 3 from the field and 6 for 6 FT's

We took Ty off the court

BUT Moretti is the reason we look like we have an offense, christ Moretti is MVP of this game

 

[abchew2]

Nico has looked good fighting through screens, is that a product of how small he is compared to everyone else?

 

[TentakilRex]

Nice finish so far

 

[grantlab]

We can’t possibly blow a 10 pt lead in 69 seconds. Right. Right?!?

 

[PNWIllini]

Go build a Sandfort … on the bench

Play them both. It’s not like Ty isn’t versatile.

When you have a player with a PG first mentality, it's amazing how smoothly things can run.

He's smaller, it helps some, but fighting through screens is all effort and toughness.

 

[TonyClifton]

Hey fans, don't yell sit down while the guy is shooting

 

[Miles Leonard]

9 point lead with 57 seconds left. Where have we seen this exact episode before?

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Harmon with no TO's, 3 for 3 from the field and 6 for 6 FT's

And burned only one backdoor cut today!! Hahaha

 

[illinipimp]

Crazy how up 9 with less then a minute left at home is nerve wracking!

 

[Get yourself a new map]

You're an Illini brother, but there are those in the crown demanding that Ty plays late in games, we'll see where BU goes.

I will say the guys in instead have given some inspirational effort these last 5 minutes. But give me at least a couple defense/offense subs.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Who you taking out ?

You can't sit Moretti or Harmon today IMO ... They earned the tick ...

 

[the national]

Hit these Nicco.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Man. For all the insiders talk about Nico having no buisness being here, he’s looked pretty ok.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

The end of this game feels different, somehow...

 

[biglug58]

Wow! A competent inbound play for us!
