Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[pruman91]

like clockwork , BU takes Kofi out in last pause in action before the first media timeout.......

We are seeing what everyone associated with the team said before the season started about Plummer's shooting prowess...........

great start

 

[DeonThomas]

No complaints up to this point. Let's make sure Kofi gets his touches.

(Last time running down the court, I noticed that Omar Payne has a little "Dennis Rodman" in his gate.)

Kofi. Man among boys and getting ZERO props from the so-called "experts" of the college basketball world.

Huh? Preseason watch list, currently 8th in Vegas odds for the Wooden award despite missing over 20% of his team’s games thus far

I'm sure I missed it but why was Dee's jersey never hung?

It is hung

it's up there

 

[FloridaMan]

Terrible foul call there.

 

[illiniguy24]

Is it just me or does the audio/announcers sound weird? Like they aren’t on site, yet they are

 

[logjam]

Where's Hawkins?

It is up there. Illinois doesn't retire numbers, just jerseys. Plummer, Ayo, and Dee all rock #11

He's been left off a couple early B10 all conference lists that I've seen recently.

Edit: Hadn't seen the Wooden list; somehow I thought he was not on the list that was recently cut, but I could be wrong.

Ok I missed it on a Twitter post I seen. Thanks

Defense locked in tonight

You would think being in Champaign, they would have heard someone correctly pronounce Illini, not ill-eye-on-eye.

 

[hiberto]

grandison a couple bad passes last few possessions

 

[skyIdub]

CoHawk has to learn to move his feet more and stop swatting. Too much hands.

 

[BDMAN]

grandison a couple bad passes last few possessions

He has to go to the basket stronger, but he is not a physical player at all though

 

[FloridaMan]

Good work by CoHawk!

As long as they don't say "Ill-in-noise."

Small wins.

Yeah Payne was moving backwards with hands straight up. Not sure how they could have called anything

I’m sure some of the frequent customers of that wh@re in Ann Arbor put Dickinson above him, but that seems to be sorting itself out nicely.

 

[thehass]

Getting sloppy with the basketball.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Hawk playing good tonight

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

As long as they don't say "Ill-in-noise."

Small wins.

We all know it's Ellen Noy.

 

[jumpingjack]

Some silly turnovers on dribble drives or we'd be up twenty already.
