Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[ChiTown]

The Maryland freshman center is pretty good and I was hoping that we have both Tomi and Rez to throw at him.

 

[Illinifrank67]

DGL goes for 28 and we win comfortably.

 

[SweetLuh]

Gonna have to spread them out, run the floor, and hit 3’s…….wait, that’s every game. We’re good!

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Brad had said Tomi had strep and was on antibiotics but my kids daycare had everyone there get step and influenza a at the same time. Lots of high temperatures and lasted 4-5 days for the youngins

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Morez 20/20 game

 

[Oracle21]

Does the guys out explain the 5.5 pt line? Seems low

Ugh ... of course it's against Maryland, too. Hopefully KJ is ready to take over and literally will us to victory after the BS he dealt with last weekend.

When the lines came out last night I was seeing ILL -10

It dropped to ILL -7.5 most of today

When the news of Tomi being out it dropped to ILL -5.5

Well, this just became a very uncertain game.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Brad said Tomi was dealing with flu last game.

Been a lot of nasty stuff going around.

Strep throat

 

[fatboyslim]

Well, this just became a very uncertain game.

Not uncertain. We're winning.

 

[westcoastillini]

Oh man.. suddenly I am very nervous

It’s closed down 4 points in the last 12 hours

Break out game for Booth. At least on the defensive side. Block those shots!

[3nDGuy]

I was super nervous when KJ was ruled out against Penn St and we boatraced them. I'm confident in our guys. Next man up!

 

[sacraig]

This is not how I was expecting or hoping to start the easiest stretch of conference play

On the other hand, that gives us the best shot at overcoming this wave of illness.

Time for DGL, Morez, Pony Boy and Booth to step up.

[derrick6]

Agree!

But with which players? How deep do we go? Ty suit up? He will still be eligible for redshirt, I think.

Probably nothing as exciting as I’m imagining

 

[jmm]

And yet we still have KJ, Morez,Ben,KB, Dra, Jake and Booth with the possibility of Will and Tre. We are so fortunate to be that talented- probably few teams that could still have a chance in the same situation.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Absolutely imperative more than ever tonight that Morez stay out of foul trouble. Alot easier said than done with certain zebra crews I know.
