Game Thread: Illinois vs Kansas (Exhibition)

[skyIdub]

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.

I think a lot of that is going to be matchup dependent. You can see the ball security with Domask here. Ty could have an advantage against some others.

We’re good.

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.

Agree, but I will take 60-65% from him with the other shooters we have. His collegiate avg is 63%.

Lol... Kansas loves extending this game. Hunter can't get enough of us

82-75 Illinois with 36.5 Seconds left. Looking good.

Would like to hear an “0 and 4” chant for Hunty, please. Or is it five?

To these players this game means everything. Ty had a very good game and the ball movement was the best when he was in the game.

Is QG okay?

He looks fine. Might have gotten the wind knocked out of him

I hope this plays out as long as possible. You have one chance to get this type of live game experience in. Try to run everything possible with everyone possible.

The most important thing in playing against a press is not handle and foot speed. It is mind speed. If players get to the right spot, anyone can pass it to them.

Fun game to watch. KU is too talented to be out of any game. Hi-lo gonna make a lot of points for them. Great to watch them get beat tho
