Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[azillini1]

Does BAM have a leg injury? Stirtz really making him look slow

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Mirkovic free throws …. 1 and 1….

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Mirk is the toughest MF

 

[spillini]

Man, Iowa fans really traveled for this one

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Gonna be a free-throw contest. Gotta make ours.

 

[CentralILLini]

Free throws………

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We are playing down to their level. No disrespect to Iowa, but we are clearly the better and deeper team and have more scorers.

Stirtz has been phenomenal. Let's not get carried away.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Free throws again.

 

[NASchamp]

Classic. Free throws to take the lead and we miss the front end.

 

[JJE]

Everything points to us losing this game

 

[Illini_Jack]

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!

 

[sacraig]

Stirtz literally can't miss. Even highly contested shots go in. Just wild.

Except that one.

 

[FloridaMan]

Just pathetic offense and FTs lately. Try something different than just stupid ISO EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!!

 

[hiberto]

in the bonus with 8+ minutes to go. drive to the rim!

 

[Illini1429]

We need a scoring run badly!!!!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Classic. Free throws to take the lead and we miss the front end.

THIS is a problem and has been for a long time now.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Another obvious Iowa call.

It was a foul morons. And why they blew the whistle

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

WTF happened to our offense?

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Pearl is on drugs.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Boswell wake up.

 

[BBlock24]

We just cannot get stops when ever we get the lead.

 

[Illini John]

Not another close game.

This game is making my stomach churn. I can't take this.

 

[FoundersClub]

Breathe on Stirtz and it’s a foul right now.

 

[foby]

if you breath on stirtz you get a foul

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

WTF? How did the ref that is complete shielded make that call on Stirtz missing the layup? Tomi didn't touch him.
