Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[FloorGeneral]

Keep Drej on Stirtz. He's disrupting the timing with the length and working really well on the screens. He's the guy right now.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Maybe we should just recruit all DIII players.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

We still don’t have an assist… move the ball

I have yet to see a drive and KICK

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Stirtz playing out of mind and only down 1

That was an illegal screen on Stirtzs clank from 3

 

[Illini60613]

Taken a great punch from them and could take the lead with our next shot. They are 5 for 11 from 3...we are 1 for 6.

Win the last 4 minutes of this half please

 

[TheChief4Life]

Iowa shooting 53% (45% from three), and have seemingly been playing lights out. And we’re only down 1 with 4 mins left in the half.

Whew…

Got some sweet seats!!! I-L-L

 

[Sim]

It seems like we are really being outplayed but down 1

 

[HailtotheChief]

Take care of the ball and rebound. Lets go. Win the last 3.5 min and get a 5 pt or better lead!

 

[Juju]

Anyone else laugh every time that manual horn is used?

 

[FoundersClub]

Imo the next 4 minutes decide the game, if we go up 5 at half we win.

This, and potentially comfortably.

If we are down 4/5 at half...we are in for a dogfight.

 

[pweo]

Iowa couldn't dream up a better start and we can take the lead next possession. I like where we are at.

 

[dsg]

Going to have to do a lot better than 16.7% from 3.

 

[CrazedUIFan]

I like Andrej’s length on Stirtz better than Boswell

 

[AnnaMay]

I have yet to see a drive and KICK

Andrej tried it once..turnover

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Also can't believe for how aggressive they are being we aren't getting Tomi or Ben open 3's.

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

If you get to the half tied with how Iowa has shot, you just feel you’re going to win

I-N-I!!

And thanks for the horn trick to give us time to settle down. Genius!

 

[IndyOrange]

One assist

Crazy we’re only down 1. Is Iowa’s defense that good?

 

[stlrunner]

Hang in, ride out the Stirtz heater and do our thing in the second half. C’mon boys.

 

[AirTran]

I have yet to see a drive and KICK

That's because we can get to the rim.

 

[azillini1]

Both teams shooting over 50%. We are only 1 for 6 from three. We are leading 14 to 6 on the glass. Stirtz carrying them with 15 points

 

[Orangetool]

Perfect, we took their punch.

Worse for Iowa than if they never had the big lead.
