Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Dawgss4life]

If we blow this lead, mark down when we were up 13 and 2 straight TOs from Kasparas let them back in it,

He’s been our best player this year but has been awful tonight,

Not so sure about that “best player” this year

 

[zentrails]

to be fair...we are 7/10 from 3 this half and that one ben hit make 5 straight. Law of averages time now though........hope brad is doing this gif in the huddle right now lol

Yep time to drive every single time and keep the big lead at the line

 

[FloridaMan]

Lol. Most threes in a game record in jeopardy. Our defense has been pretty laughable this year to say the least. Luckily 0440's got the offense firing on all cylinders!

 

[CDRUSN]

All five of our starters are in double figures. while Iowa has competed hard and shot well., Our rebounding and FT shooting have given us a decided edge, while our shooting percentage has somehow been even better than their's at this point, despite Sandfort's 28 pts.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Sandfort is deflated now. Huge difference when he took over as coach in a previous TO.

This track meet is nuts but I gotta say I’m having a helluva time

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Most points in a big ten tourney game by a team? Apologies if I missed it

Morez's in game play timing is off he needs all the PT he can get to get it back. KJ has made some really bone headed plays this game hope he figures it out

KJ has been really bad tonight. Thank goodness everyone else is clicking, so far

 

[skyIdub]

Well I guess the wrist is ok

 

[RockfordIllini]

Taking our foot off the gas. This game ain’t over.

 

[DeonThomas]

I've not been well tuned-in. Is this a Quad 2 game?

 

[CleverHandle1]

Two missed damn FTs and now a four point play!!!!!!

 

[Jimbo]

This game is not over.

 

[New Creation]

Bam misses 2 FT and then foul Samford on the 3.. come on man.. this damn game isn't over yet..

 

[BDMAN]

We are just keep them in the game...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I might get some flack for this, but Humrichous seems a LOT more comfortable in his role coming off the bench, and seems to be playing better since Riley entered the starting 5.

Absolutely no flack! You're 100% right. He's become EXTREMELY valuable because he's accepted the role.

It’s a Quasi NBA game

 

[Jon]

Imagine guarding a sandfort

 

[CleverHandle1]

Make FTs, Tomi. 1/2.

 

[WizardBill]

The lead went from 16 to 11 in 4 seconds. DO NOT think this is over.

 

[FloridaMan]

No time to relax in this game. Yet, here we are letting them hang

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

1st to 120 wins

 

[ejam21]

jeez..1/4 on fts since double bonus

 

[WyattEarp]

Hmmm…a lot of passing to end up with a mid range fader.

Tomi looks spent
