Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[drew306]

A couple more threes and solid defense will put this game out of reach. Lets get it.

 

[Gunner23]

Lucas has a pretty good teardrop

Agreed. Seems like a natural shot for him. Nice weapon to have in the arsenal at such a young age.

One could see from the first games TJL took the court that he has great vision. He's making passes that we haven't seen in years for an Illinois team

Tejon has such a nice floater.

everyone going on about UM's defense being so horrible as though this hardly counts as a good game - yet so many rave about Belein as though he's such an amazing coach. Which is it?

Come on then they would have to give some credit to Groce and that won't happen here

 

[blmillini]

Beilein? Because up to this year he'd put together a string of winning teams with so-so talent.

He has had some very good players.

Was never really impressed with what DJW brought, nothing really sticks out. Kipper brings energy, rebounding, and a few points. Don't need to see much more to make this statement. Kipper is having a much bigger impact than DJW ever had in any game.

Agree with this too - DJW seems like he could wreak havoc in a dunk contest, but never added much to a game. So far - still time for him.

Mccamey is the name that comes to my mind, but he wasn't nearly as quick.

No kidding. I'd kill for some of their so so talent

Over/under on number of tweets/posts tonight by Dave Wischcowsky and the fire Groce clan?

Yeah -- three and low-four star recruits he coached up, something Groce has struggled with.

That is simply not true. Tate is an excellent passer. He may have issues but that isn't one of them.

Somebody tell me when I can start to relax in this game.

Not yet.

Over 4 they could win out rest of way and he still throw 4 or more out there
