Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Altgeld's Bells]

Iowa extra handsy and no foul calls.

 

[RML]

We're a second half team

 

[hoopsfan47]

Our probability of a win is pretty dismal at the moment.

 

[Scoregasm]

Get Andrej on Stirtz ASAP. Boswell getting worked over hard.

 

[dsg]

We're letting them get there confidence up. Then at the right moment, we will crush them and break their spirit.

 

[thehass]

Stay on Stirtz no matter what

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Exactly the start I was worried about. Sluggish, we are tight and they get and jump on us while making 3's.

We'll get back in it just made it harder. Get Tomi paint touches, he has a 5 inch height advantage!

 

[JKR]

Boswell isn't even pretending to play defense.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We are in big big trouble if we do not wake up soon. Iowa getting very very good looks and hitting them. We are not at all. Need to settle down, run our offense and defend our tails off

 

[Jimbo]

We just need to settle down. It’ll be alright.

 

[CentralILLini]

Nebraska started game 12-2 against Iowa…

 

[Illini_Jack]

Big Z and Andrej coming in now

 

[BrownTown]

Andrej not starting is absolute malpractice. He is the one dude who can break Iowa down athletically off the dribble

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Is Mr. Biggs stupid?? Should have been Orange Script!

If you’re not a little superstitious, I question if you ever played sports. I’m actually pissed off we switched uniforms, lol, whoever decided that is a moron. Period.

Now get it together, guys!!

 

[blife]

Get over the GD screens show some fight FFS

 

[Oracle21]

Offense is trying to matchup hunt instead of attack

 

[Illinicpa14]

Not a good start but they’re not gonna shoot 85% - make these FTs and dig in

 

[HailtotheChief]

3 monutes in before we even get a shot up!

 

[azillini1]

Stirtz lighting Bos up

BAM hasn’t had a good game for a while. Need AS in to drive to the rim

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Lock in Boz. Mirk and KW showing some nerves.

win or go home. Saddle up and show some damn fight.

 

[illinipimp]

Not a great start but there’s still 35 minutes to go. Posters on here as tight as the players.

 

[FromTheLogo]

I will keep beating this drum... Please tell me why we can't get it to Tomi 3 feet away from the bucket and he score???

 

[madcrazeeballa]

‘Demetri move!’ Sorry wrong year, loosen up fellas

 

[BBlock24]

Hir your fn free throws.

 

[hoopsfan47]

They are playing quickly, aggressively, and with purpose while we are feeling them out. What we are feeling out is feeling pretty sticky.
