Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

We make a three and match up so poorly after a make. Great offense so far but string together a couple of stops and bury this team.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

The worst part about sitting KJ is that DGL has been invisible in his minutes.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

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

 

[the national]

Just wanted to see it again

 

[thehass]

Why do we have to make things so difficult and worrisome?

 

[chief]

KB heard Hummel dis him?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Dude is on fire. Give the player some credit.

He is, but make an adjustment. Double him. Make him get the ball out of his hands. He’s the only guy scoring.
Make someone else score.

 

[FloridaMan]

Blow the roof off!!!!!! Let's go!!!!!!!

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

they have 7 fouls we only have 1. we've seen this movie before. attack the paint!

 

[WyattEarp]

lol. Sandfort The Elder will hit 40

The guy’s a stone cold killer…and by that I ALSO mean I’m getting serial killer vibes off the guy.

Or I could just be a biased Illini fine who’s tired of seeing him shred us.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why do we have to make things so difficult and worrisome?

That generally happens when a guy is about to drop double digit threes on your head. Lol

 

[OskieWowWow]

My eulogy for Fran:

 

[zentrails]

Dude is on fire. Give the player some credit.

and yet we're the team that's 7-10 from 3 this half

 

[NarrowJ]

Turnovers is actually a prop bet!!?? I never knew! I would have pounded 2.5. I would have pounded 4!

Yup they have alt lines too, I think o5.5 was like +600 lol

 

[CleverHandle1]

Keep your damn feet on the pedal, Illini! Send a message! BH playing a lesser role and hitting clutch shots.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Can we bottle this 3-point shooting for the rest of the postseason please?

 

[illiniharrison]

What is this team?

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

 

[band camp]

We are winning by double digits coming out of the time out, going to the line a chance to go up 18.

 

[CleverHandle1]

A good run with KJ on the bench. Yes we definitely need him, but giving him some rest is good.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Lotta meat still on the bone. Have to keep playing on both ends. They can rattle off 10 points in a minute.

 

[skyIdub]

Seriously, the 3pt avg is peaking at the right time.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

He is, but make an adjustment. Double him. Make him get the ball out of his hands. He’s the only guy scoring.
Make someone else score.

Bingo! If he's going to be the only guy to go off, leave it alone and don't help off. Shut the water off everywhere else and he can go for 40. That's fine.

 

[thehass]

What a wild game... will anyone get a stop? And here's where I've landed on KJ- he may have NBA skills, but his decision making and mental toughness is not NBA level or ready.

He definitely needs more seasoning

 

[Jersten]

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.
