Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas City

[illiniguy]

The best thing about how things have shown so far is...Dain....everything so far says.....yes!!!

Now I understand why Omar and BBV transferred out.

1/2 hour glass never stopped me before....

You are SO shallow

I like only 5 turnovers with a chance to keep it in single digits for the game.

Bartender, this man is dry. Grab him a drink, he's earned it!

 

[Chad Fleck]

No way. It was a safety issue

Sure, after he threw his legs around him.

As we get into the Big 10 season, I'm looking for this team to pull away in several close games late in the second half. The way we can play at a high tempo and keep coming at opponents in waves with a deep rotation means we can stay fresh all game while others are getting gassed. The future looks good, shooting should improve with time.

Skyy has a mature approach to the game for a freshman......nice 3 pt bucket right there............

Lieb, Serven, and Warden better start warming up.

That dude has been behind the announcers table for years.

Granted it is incredibly early in the season but I didn’t think I’d ever say the Baylor transfer with a real shot at 1st Team All Big Ten would be Dainja instead of Mayer. I hope Mayer wakes up and I’m loving the Dainja Zone!

If this was a conscious effort by Brad to get CoHawk in the scoresheet… I like it.

MM needs to play fundamental defense first, go for the steal second - not the other way around… imho

I was surprised to hear he was aiming for B1G Defenive POY. Sure hasn't looked all that good on D in the first few games.

great bounce pass by Skyy for a Cohawk bucket

His hair is already in mid-season form!

Bruce can call as many of our games as the B10 network can schedule him for. He and Robbie Hummel are two of my favorites.

That’s Brad Sturdy’s brother

If up 19 doesn’t feel great, Michigan is losing to Eastern Michigan in the 2nd half. Go Big Ten. Screw Boehiem. But I’ll always root for Michigan to get embarrassed.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Dain with the beautiful fall away. I love it.

 

[InDaAZ]

Dainja’s spin move is…

Epps has really good defensive footwork.

 

[Ryllini]

Team isn't working hard to get back this second half
