Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas City

Noooo!! Don’t wave that assist away

 

[pruman91]

I know it's lower level competition....but this defense has the potential to absolutely obliterate an opponents soul.

Illini offense will be hot and cold , but our defense is absolutely on fire and suffacating........................

We seem to be playing good perimeter defense but not interior .

 

[Jon]

Dain with some Curbelo magic and the curbelo TO

GREAT DAIN!!!!!!!!!

 

[hiberto]

11 boards for dainja already. me likey

 

[eas23]

I don't care about the charge. The vision and coordination to make that pass.

 

[LoveLovie]

Dain is bullying out there! Love it

 

[Chad Fleck]

I can't believe they didn't T up Dain for that.

Not playing great yet, but my goodness, does this team have potential and athletes.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I commend the boys for choosing the right game to start 1-19. Let’s not do it again.

 

[skyIdub]

GREAT DAIN!!!!!!!!!

HE WANTS TO PLAY!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Shooting: 2 for 19 followed by 10 for 15.

We seem to be playing good perimeter defense but not interior .

We still seem to be learning rotations down low. To be expected. Having so many recovery blocks from behind is not necessarily a good thing.

 

[CentralILLini]

Dain remindin’ me of prime Andrew Bynum

 

[Jon]

Somebody convince me that Dain isn't the B1G POTY right now

Wow, great call!

 

[Scoregasm]

I have a man crush on Dainja, so active.

 

[dbeaverfg]

I can't believe they didn't T up Dain for that.

Nah, guy was underneath him.

 

[NarrowJ]

I can't believe they didn't T up Dain for that.

I'm glad they didn't because could tell he needed to hang on as he had his legs hooked around the guy running out of bounds.

 

[InDaAZ]

I commend the boys for choosing the right game to start 1-10. Let’s not do it again.

It’s so nice to have a defense that can withstand a drought like that.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Start 1/19 and still wind up with a near 40 point half.

 

[Illini8420]

Ok call me crazy but Dainja might actually be the best player on the team

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

There is not an aspect of Dain that I'm not impressed with. He put in the work to get his body right. He has tremendous footwork. He attacks the boards. Most importantly for a freshman big, he doesn't foul. We can't ask for a better backup big. And he's only going to get better.

Clark in foul trouble? I’m watching at a bar with no audio.
