Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas City

[Tbear90]

Absolutely love all are players. We have to get better in half court offense quickly. We start 1 for 19 in next 2 weeks we'll get throttled. We have to love what this team can be when they gel.

Ok Bruce is literally explaining to us that there really isn't "Basketball Gods".

Next up....Santa Clause?

 

[CDRUSN]

That dude is downright Dainjarus. BBV would have been cemented to the pines if he had stayed. I wish him well in South Carolina.

 

[KingWolf11]

We are not going to be boring

 

[eas23]

Interior passing makes me happy.

 

[InDaAZ]

Ty!

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking about this.

If Dain plays like this he is going to get the most minutes at the 5. How can't he? I know they are huge guys but wow.

 

[hiberto]

loving dains energy tonight on both sides

 

[Chillinini]

Defense is relentless. So much offense from suffocating defense. Loving it.

 

[Jon]

We absolutely should have been T'd up by now. Love the energy!

You can start MM to massage his ego, but I can’t see how you don’t give DD more minutes at this point.

 

[Ryllini]

How high is the ceiling? Seriously, how high. A long way to go, but man o man it is there. Gotta realize it

 

[skyIdub]

Give me this pressure D all year please.

 

[Miles Leonard]

You love to see CoHawk dripping with swagger.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Coach Weber happy as a clam to be here. I’m liking it. And Dainja, looking impressive.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Lots of chirping!

I really don't hate it, but I'll be surprised if they get away with this during the B1G schedule.

 

[Illini8420]

Dainja is the perfect follow up to Kofi. The rest of the conference doesn’t know what they’re in for lol

 

[kyillinifan]

Man just think if this Dainja was on last years team.. What a great surprise he is. He is a one man wall.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Love having Daija and CoHawk on the floor together, hope we see a lot of that this season.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Great series of plays. Hustle, hands, discipline....... and DAINJA!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

You love to see CoHawk dripping with swagger.

He is so much more comfortable on the court than he was last year. It's like night and day.

 

[Jimbo]

I love our potential but i won’t be buying final 4 tickets until i see how we fair in Vegas.

 

[RML]

Just able tune in now. Guess I'm in the minority, but I like Weber as the color guy. (And yes, I heard the "basketball gods" comment. Sounded to me as though some holy roller had bitched about his using that term.)
