Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Jon]

KjJ gotta learn Da'montes "throw the ball off Iowa's face"

 

[D1959]

Fire away, but I just don’t see it KJ being a lottery pick

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Refs are AWFUL

 

[Get yourself a new map]

This is unbelievable from KJ. Is he okay?!!

 

[SuperMetroid]

They have NO defense. Just need to get a few stops and we’re good

 

[cam97]

Fran is turning red!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why are we shooting contested threes up 9? Think, fellas! Think!

P.S. KJ may be unplayable tonight.

Agree. This seems like one of those nights. Disappointing on both sides. I love the kid, but man.....

I really miss that

Foul on Morez was Riley’s fault. Let Dix blow right by him

That was a hack right across. Clear foul. B10 refs taking over again.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This is unbelievable from KJ. Is he okay?!!

I know the NBA drafts potential, but the way he is playing should give pause to GMs.

Morez comes back... the refs go right back to calling phantom fouls against him, smh

 

[BDMAN]

They call that a foul on Morez and it was it was also a foul not called on KJ when he was physically knocked of line on his drive

It’s one of those 7-game stretches at this point.

The KJ hate is a little overblown. Tomi slowed down in the first half when KJ overthrew him, and it sure looked like KJ got bumped on that last one before he saved it to Iowa.

I hope we don’t need it, but if onions are needed on a last shot, give me KJ onions.

 

[Coop70]

KJ has slippery hands

 

[UCantHideYer]

KJ has the slippery hands again

That foul was Morez's, but Riley can't be sprinted by.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Stop taking step back 3s every time we get the chance to push the lead to double digits

 

[AnnaMay]

The biggest difference between KJ and Reilly is balance. KJ loses his balance with little nudges from the defense. Reilly on the other hand...just wow.

 

[CDRUSN]

Foot, meet gas pedal. Gas pedal, foot. It's past time to turn up the defensive pressure, put together a run, and choke off their air.

 

[FloridaMan]

It’s one of those 7-game stretches at this point.

He's not even close to NBA ready physically. He hit a wall mid January. I know, I know, mock drafts etc, etc. But let's be real.

 

[azillini1]

Every starter in double digits except KJ with just 3 points. He has 4 TO's and no assists. Really need him to get going if we are going to make some noise in the tournament.

 

[Jon]

Alright we stole a Boswell 3. Don't try again

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

It’s one of those 7-game stretches at this point.

17/6/4, with 2 turnovers… that was two games ago against Michigan.
