Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[OB positive]

I feel like WR should go at the rim. He tends to get 3/4 of the way there then double clutches

He's not a strong enough finisher yet.

WR has to learn to attack the rim with bad intentions even if you only weigh a buck 90

 

[skyIdub]

Will might get drafted...but man...another year of Fletch and B1G games could make him a sure fire 1st rounder.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

I wonder what WR’s vertical actually is?

 

[Ryllini]

Still a lot of ball left, but good to see some smiles from the guys. Even before tip I saw some smiles and joy. Let's hang on and keep moving forward.

Riley wasn’t going to keep missing. Those are great looks that he has had.

Yes, he missed a couple but showed confidence and hit a big one. He's driving as well.

 

[abchew2]

as depressing as the Duke game was, still can finish strong if we get Morez back with little hangover and a 7 seed. Doing what we need to so far tonight. Don’t let up.

 

[skyIdub]

We can win out...but it will be with basically a 6 man rotation.

Hope their conditioning is on point.

What’s great about the Duke game is we’ll hear about it prior to each game for the rest of the season

I didn't like taking Riley off the bench. He was a weapon. Now, this bench is beyond awful.

Should we play Ben 2 minutes to start the game then and then play Will 30 just so we can say Will is coming off the bench? The problem is we don't have the depth we thought we did. So any time Will isn't on the court, we're giving time to a replacement level player at best. I'd rather have this than playing the replacement level player 30mpg, but maybe that's just me.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Iowa just isn't guarding anyone.

 

[FloridaMan]

NOW we're playing some ball! Let's build! NO letdown!!

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

This is better.

 

[skyIdub]

 

[CleverHandle1]

KJ: do that every chance you get!!!!

 

[ginabackes00]

Anyone else worried that Boswell hitting that three only encourages him more to take those threes?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

As well we should. It should be on the locker room wall before every game as a reminder of what happens when you're soft.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

18-point lead. Iowa is bad. There is no excuse for us to not keep them at arm's distance the rest of the way. Let's make this easy for once.

 

[Jon]

Boswell making layups, Boswell making 3s. It ain't safe for Hawkeyes out there.

 

[risingfalcon98]

Cant let the foot off the gas. Hawks can score in bunches

 

[New Creation]

Ben taking less shots and less minutes is overall better for this team.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Amazing how much better everything looks when you shoot an even mediocre % from three

 

[HailtotheChief]

If Bam ever returns to shooting from three like the last couple years he could really be a load. He is trending in the right direction lately. Looking solid tonight.

 

[DB11Headband]

Will might get drafted...but man...another year of Fletch and B1G games could make him a sure fire 1st rounder.

He already is brother

 

[InDaAZ]

Just throw it down, knock off that double clutch sissy stuff
