Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[BoiseBaller]

Good news is I don't recognize any of those refs names. Which is how it should be with officials.

Big minutes up for grabs tonight.

Let's see who really wants to be a part of that post season 7/8 man rotation.

And hopefully we don’t recognize them during the game, unlike last Sunday.

 

[RML]

KJ gets 35 pts , 10 assists and zero fouls............
Rez gets another double double..................
Ben goes 4-7 behind the arc.................
KB shuts down twerps guards and he makes 3 + layups..................
Tre and Will both make 3 pt'ers , get fouled and regurgitate on refs foot.........
DGL soars through the air and blocks all of the twerps " Queens shots " dislodging their fake eyelashes.......
Willard scours the sidelines for errant passes to finally shoot a 3 in a B$G game.......

We don't need no strep throat..........we really really don't....

Med up Illini Nation...........................

KB makes 3+ lay-ups? You crazy dreamer!

 

[thehass]

Have to avoid foul trouble tonite. If so, we should win without it being a nailbiter.

Starters-

Boswell
Tre
KJ
Ben H
Morez

Who’s our backup center?

 

[ILL-Intentions]

hopefully Jake Davis can snap the nets and be our 9th with 20+ pts. Really need that bench energy. DGL could be huge getting to the rim and finishing

 

[derrick6]

Get well soon, Tomi!

 

[illinifreak30]

Not sure if already discussed but the game is in 4K HDR on the fox sports app.

 

[pruman91]

Illini WBB up 50-22 at the end of the 1st half.......DABBA DABBA DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

Let's go MBB...........get the doubleheader win tonight.............

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Really need Morez to not get a freshman whistle tonight.

And KJ

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

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.

Booth? Has he participated in one meaningful minute this year?

 

[Jimbo]

I think we’ll play well with a next man up mentality. Something like 88-77

 

[NashvILLe05]

Who’s our backup center?

Probably Ben H. Might see more small ball and us pushing the ball to try and tire them out. Get an early lead and keep going at’em hard so they expend a lot of energy just guarding.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Who’s our backup center?

I'm guessing we play 5 out whenever Morez is off the court. Wonder if we might even see a Ben + Jake line tonight

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Reese is going to be an extremely difficult cover for us tonight. We already lack frontcourt depth. Their two bigs are going to be problems. On the offensive end, Tomi would have pulled them away from the hoop.

It doesn't shock me that this happens versus Maryland.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Is the game not loading on the Fox sports app for anyone else?

 

[FloridaMan]

Hoping one of their bigs has some foul trouble tonight. If not, we could be in a dogfight.

 

[sharpshot16]

Going to be interesting...

 

[blife]

Queen and Reese will be bigger a problem if Rez gets in foul trouble

 

[sacraig]

Well, if we lose, maybe we can at least avenge it by giving our germs to the Terps.

Actually, that's kind of cruel. It's not like they're Mizzou or something.
