Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[grantlab]

Oh no.

 

[jumpingjack]

Loved the offensive action to get Coleman an easy bucket.
Do not love seeing Sencire down on the court.

 

[SaintLIllini]

no

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh frak... That looked like a possible dislocated knee.

 

[InDaAZ]

CoHawk has been calling for the ball down low on several occasions - TJ missed him 2-3 times - Epps finds him with a sweet entry.

 

[jumpingjack]

!!!! Sparty

 

[Coop70]

Our collective hearts die a little.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Every time we play these guys someone gets carried off the court.

 

[foby]

"inadvertently" as he purposefully rolled back on SH. msu is the filthiest team in college hoops.

This.

 

[FloridaMan]

"Inadvertently, OF COURSE"

 

[dbeverly26]

Seven players now. This is becoming about survival at this point.

 

[Bigtex]

I will say we turned the corner here. Believe we take the lead - can we hold it?

 

[Clngpl94]

Ugh... Sincere is our spark plug...

 

[azillini1]

RJ's getting many more minutes with this injury. Goode... we need you as our bench is getting short.

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

They aren’t showing a replay of Harris injury here. How bad was it on tv

The technical was on an assistant coach. Brad say down and fletch was coaching from the sideline for a bit after. Weird vibe here tonight.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Three years in a row and three injured players. Something needs to give on this.

 

[WyattEarp]

This is the a typical Sparty game. Tough defense and rebounding, low turnovers, patience, good shots, and great FT shooting. They do it every year .

Some of Izzo’s last few teams have been
worse about TOs…But Yeah…you nailed it.

Defense and Rebounding
Especially Offensive Rebounding…seems to always be a calling card

 

[aaeismacgychel]

It's been this kind of season. That does not look like a short-term injury :-(

 

[GallopingGhost]

So our guard rotation is Epps and….. Nico?

 

[FromTheLogo]

The positive: three Illini got on the floor.
The negative: one didn't get up.

I'm so tired of it. Maybe a new commish won't feel beholden to Michigan money.

Not good.

 

[battle]

refs can review for a kick or hit, an unecessary rollover is just as effective in causing injury. no weight is not good

Except that they’re not a good rebounding team this year, which is maddening.
