Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas (Exhibition)

[punchabove33]

Ok we give it Quincy for FTs

 

[alexander58]

Free throws and handling extended pressure in the half court

 

[aaeismacgychel]

HAHAHAHA, wow... Ok, CoHawk

 

[FloridaMan]

Like the FT group on the floor here. Going to really help having QG this year it looks like.

 

[PNWIllini]

Probably a goaltend

 

[PopChampaign]

LFG

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Goaltend. But an awesome goaltend.

 

[hoopsfan47]

I am, for the first time, all in favor of CoHawk taking OPEN 3s as long as he maintains an effort to be consistent with his arc and not drifting. Bit improvements.

 

[PNWIllini]

Excellent feed

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great play by CoHawk to Harmon

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Looks like Domask is our bring it up late with a lead guy, and I’m 100% supportive.

I just came here to say the opposite. He doesn’t seem quick enough against a strong press.

 

[Ryllini]

I know we are trying to salt this thing away, but run some freaking offense

 

[skyIdub]

You can see the CBB old man experience coming into play here. TSJ, CoHawk, QG, Justin Harmon and Domask are going to be huge in pressure moments.

Experience and depth.

Now, give me 1000 FT's per day in practice.

I would think it will not get a whole lot stronger than Kansas. I think he will be good bringing it up; lot of games played and a good FT shooter.

I like his motion and release, but he is too sloppy and hurried with his routine as well as inconsistent with his balance. If he were to slow down and get the ball quiet before starting his lift he could be 80%+ or better. He has not shot FT well except for tonight when he got volume...which was a good decision by Kansas to foul him...but it has backfired.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh shoot, Guerrier is hurt

 

[jimbo72]

Wow, they just posted the AP top 10 teams, we play six of the top ten teams that is awesome.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I don’t want any one guy trying to break a press. But I like Domask one on one, and trust him to find the pass of the press comes.

 

[skyIdub]

That was like a foggy morning pileup on I-74.

I would think a game that doesn't count against the #1 team in the country might be a good time to get our "starting point guard" some experience.

 

[HTime]

above average shooter, underrated defender. tough to judge him based on last years stats, was hoping to see him get more shots this year

Luke’s defense is not underrated. It is not good.

38% FT, dude. I love this closing lineup.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Is QG okay?

He’s smart , experienced ,sure handed and can shoot free throws
