Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas City

[hoopsfan47]

DD showing up big on the stat sheet with a pair of 14s and 5 blocks. Triple double potential.

Illini are playing such fundamental defense.............moving their feet and I love the trap and steal for the cohawk dunk.........

So much difference this year with playing with abandon and hitting the open man for a better shot......

Dain Dainja looking at starting lineup:

Decided last minute to go to this one. Loved the ceremony and seeing the warm welcome for Weber. After a slow start, I really like this team!

Also, since I sometimes whine about this on the football board, I’ll give credit where it’s due - EXCELLENT crowd!

Don't overlook Epps knowing how to finish. That hasn't always been easy for our guards.

 

[HailtotheChief]

The way Dain sets up his feet and hips at the FT line is unique.

 

[illiniguy24]

Skyy hasn’t played much I feel like?

He is a hot mess at the FT line. Way too much going on.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Very odd, not a mention of Veterans day at all in the hall tonight. Usually every game has a Salute to Service, didn't even have that.

Had to get that advertising money instead.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Epps gives me some Jalen Brunson vibes.

 

[Epsilon]

Skyy hasn’t played much I feel like?

He’s been in, but it seems Mayer disappeared.

 

[FloridaMan]

Good to see Skyy working hard on the defensive end. He will be a good one for us.

 

[SescIllini]

If Ben Wallace and Larry Johnson merged into one person he would wear an Illini #42 jersey.

 

[Epsilon]

I just love how Dainja is there for the fast break. Wow!

 

[eas23]

Running the floor and the 1 handed finish. Sure. What else you got?

 

[KingWolf11]

Dain is so skilled my gosh

 

[hiberto]

Dain looks so smooth running the floor

 

[FloridaMan]

Dain gonna surprise some people in the league this year

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Get my man 5 more boards for a 20-20!

 

[skyIdub]

Dain Dainja is Bugs Bunny-ing KC now.

 

[Jimbo]

Dainja is feeling it right now. In the zone,

 

[1867]

I know that BU was lamenting losing a guaranteed 20-10 every night in a recent interview, but he can't be mad about an occasional 20-15 off the bench, am I right?

 

[Chad Fleck]

Man, Dainja looks Uber confident.

 

[skyIdub]

Sencire vs. The Rim II.

 

[sacraig]

The fact that they just discussed "Move, Demetri!" with Weber made my night.
