Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[DICKnaggie]

Explain why we are not feeding Tomi on the post every time. Even if he passes out it open up our threes which have otherwise been shut down other than Keaton.

KEEP TOMI ON THE BLOCK TIL THEY SHOW THEY CAN STOP HIM

 

[illini510]

Tomi playing like he did last year, Mirkovic super active on the glass. This is what we needed to supplement Wagler

 

[Illin1]

Another defensive stop and converting on offense would really help my stress levels

 

[alaskaillini]

A game where a 6-0 seems huge. Keep it up

 

[FloridaMan]

Look what happens when we start getting the ball to the post!!!!!!!! Keep doing it!

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

CLAMP IT DOWN!!!!

 

[NASchamp]

This is honestly the most nervous I've been in my entire life. The booze and eddies don't help at all

Someone tell me how bad the officiating is since we don’t have replays in the building.

What. A. Joke.

It’s a lot like watching Bruce Pearl doing analysis at halftime……so pretty good

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Tomi!!!!

Gotta love that halftime tittie twister that gets him going.

 

[HailtotheChief]

I know in older and Tomi isnt Kareem but he is still 7'1" and way bigger. Sometimes hoops shouldnt be so complex. If they guard him 1 on 1 post go old school in the bonud and post up thier asses!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Love you guys and this team let's finish!

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

They are going to start doubling the post. Got to find the open man.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

It is there for the taking. DO IT!!!!!!!

 

[…INI!]

Keep feeding Tomi.

Hard to get a deep breath in.

 

[jrock]

GEt a stop!

 

[Sim]

Illinois makes a little run and Iowa calls a timeout. He makes changes and try’s to stop momentum Illinois doesn’t seem to do that for some reason.

This.
Needs to be every single possession.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Game of runs, finally we got one going! Let's make it last the rest of the game

 

[BWBW]

Breathe, exhale, breathe

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Pounding it to Tomi is smart when we have a height advantage. He can always kick it out

Took us 34 min of basketball to figure that out…

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

The games when Tomi remembers he's 7ft tall are more fun

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

C'mon. Let's finish off the squaks.
