Game Thread: Illinois vs Little Rock

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

This looks like a team that isn’t very happy with being dropped out of the top 25.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Really interesting (and BIG) lineup with Bam-White-Riley-Rez-Tomi on the floor.

 

[CDRUSN]

Any top talented young Europeans wanting to play here in the NCAA should feel comfortable coming to Illinois with the way BU and staff have gotten them acclimated to a new culture and playing at a high level. I love that we have consciously developed that pipeline, which hopefully pays dividends for many years.

We are playing on both sides of the floor like a TEAM. right now...

Ed Cooley.. is that you for the pep talk?

 

[illiniguy24]

Ben swishes a 3 as I type this, but…no way NBA scouts see him as a better prospect than Ivisic right?

 

[NarrowJ]

That possession was chefs kiss

 

[illiniguy24]

Oh my we are COOKING tonight

 

[grantlab]

Ok, this is fun…

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So Arkansas beating UMES by 70, yet only topped Little Rock by 12. Transitive property of basketball does not apply.

 

[WeWillWhen]

23-0 run.

EVERYONE looks good so far.

 

[NarrowJ]

8 minute scoring drought

Must be that Weber aura in the house tonight lol

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Save some for Arkansas, boys!

 

[Illiniguy13]

Methinks we’ll see some Carey Booth & Jake Davis soon

 

[blife]

Let's hold them under 20 for the half and hang a 100 on them for the game. These are the ones you need to win big for March. Working with a sense of urgency tonight.

 

[WeWillWhen]

And now a Jake Davis sighting (brick)

 

[skyIdub]

We are simply starting to see what BU told them after Alabama.....they are close boys and girls.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Oh KJ.

 

[LoveLovie]

Looks like the boys practiced well

 

[skyIdub]

That is a weak T....Gmafb

 

[Mr. Roberts]

As good as we are playing, we are still not hot from 3.

 

[band camp]

Sympathy T.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Whatever. I love that tech. We need KJ to be spicy for the big games coming up and conference play.

When you cross a guy over in the paint in traffic, you talk !!!!
