Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[Grange Grover]

Bad Illinois showed up today. Doubt we like the score at the end of this one.

 

[curtmoss]

#5 draft pick?

 

[Illini2010-11]

Sloppy turnovers has been story of year...and looks like it may be the downfall today, unless they decide to take care of the ball.

4 points given by Humrichous …

That’s game, gents…

 

[punchabove33]

Duke, Maryland, ?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This feels like Duke 2.0 so far.

 

[ChiTown]

Hope this is not the beginning of a sh&t show.

 

[Orangetool]

Just too loose.

Why can't they coach them up re this?
KJ thinks it's Euro league or something

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Not a great start

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Was hoping for the good team to show up here.

 

[PopChampaign]

can’t let this get out of hand. Gotta stay confident. I brought out the good whiskey for this game. If there’s a game we start off bad and turn it around, it needs to be this one. Channeling CHIEF energy

 

[Fighting I 95]

This game could be over very quick. We may get down too far to come back. We just cannot play consistent

 

[jayd]

First round draft pick my @##*$$

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

KJ needs to ride pine. He is killing us.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Just settle down. Kentucky isn't playing good defense. We're just giving them the ball. Run our schemes. Be smart with the ball. Climb back in to this thing.

 

[azillini1]

Is KJ playing for Kentucky today?

 

[D1959]

KJ colorblind?

 

[Illini8420]

These turnovers are killing us

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Lol, love these guys, but I’ll never understand this team’s psyche.

First Round game vs. an 11-seed? Effort, execution and energy are superb.

Matchup with a Blue Blood for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen on the line? Sloppy and slow like it’s a rec league game.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Could get ugly peeps we got that scary look in our eyes not in a good way either

 

[DeeIL89]

Oh look, a young team that has been turnover prone all season might be in trouble in a tournament game due to you guess it turnovers. Clean this crap up.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Jakucionas is terrible. Another RO32 exit it is.

 

[Illini60613]

We are OK. Just gotta get a good set play off this time out and play some D

 

[Champaign88]

KJ is going to struggle mightly in the NBA if he goes this year. On both ends.
