Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[CleverHandle1]

Will, please attack the rim more, you're so much better than taking open 3s

I love that he has the confidence to shoot it, but you're up big and at this juncture, take it to the hoop!

 

[RML]

Everyone was going for the kill shot. We don't do well in the situation (or in the stop-the-opponent's-run situation.)

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

Great drive KB. Was that a foul?

Saavy move. Long arch to bring his arms up right into the defenders.

Kylan aggressively going to the rack like this greatly helps our offense. It helps a lot that Iowa can't physically guard him, but when Kylan does this it collapses the defense and opens everything else up as well as rack up fouls

Only 3 TOs at this point. Learning to value the ball is good to see. And a testament to bad Iowa D.

Tomi can do that every time! Great baby hook.

 

[skyIdub]

That Ivisic play is almost unguardable.

 

[NarrowJ]

Ivisic 19 pts 5 reb 5 ast

No complaints from me

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Man Tomi has been phenomenal tonight

 

[JKR]

Goodness Riley.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Iowa offensive sets are really good. You can not like Fran but he can coach.

 

[sacraig]

The difference is that Boswell was legit good at the beginning of the year. Humrichous has been a letdown from day one.

 

[FloridaMan]

Would like to see our D pick up a lot right now. Do not let this team get hot. I just watched Georgia almost blow a 26 point lead tonight.

 

[NASchamp]

WR can finish, man. I’m always impressed what he can get to somehow drop.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Our bench tonight explains why we've been having so many defensive issues this past month. They've also gotten about a third of the minutes they normally get

 

[tcb13]

I am impressed with how frequently when WR gets it to the glass that it goes in

 

[FloridaMan]

 

[skyIdub]

See...Ben needs 32 minutes to sit and think about that first 3.

 

[champaignpak]

my oh my ben hustle

 

[ginabackes00]

And there’s the dunk I’ve asked for from Riley

 

[biglug58]

Riley slam!!

Not playing the bench is not an option. You cannot win with a 6 man rotation. Remember tonight is IOWA

Good for Ben.

1 for 1. 100% and a save!
