Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[radiodj]

Our defense makes my head grow heavy and my sight grow dim.....

Hopefully, they'll make a stop for the night.

Te'Jon and Kipper both in early. I like it Groce.

 

[oldman]

I would not have guessed Black and Morgan would be the first to sit, especially when they had scored all of our points to that point.

 

[schlagboy]

Kipper strong under the basket.

Does Illinois have the record for most name mispronounciations from announcers? Tejon Lewis?

 

[Chase3]

Pretty feed TJ!

 

[Illini_1979]

Nice pass TJL.

 

[Cheez]

They earned it, glad Groce is rewarding them.

If I'm going to criticize Groce, I have to be fair to him when I agree with him. And I agree with giving these two more minutes.

And Te'Jon with a pretty assist - I want to see more of that.

Mav is cookin

 

[oldman]

TJL looks just on the verge of playing out of control.

LOL at mav picking zach irvins pocket

 

[Illini_1979]

Crowd seems to be in the game.

Maverick feels the need.....the need for a high shooting percentage.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Great defense and they get a deflected three. Ugh!

Love that 2 PG, 3 Big man lineup even if it doesn't make sense on paper. Ton of energy.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

We're playing offense like some of our good teams used to at home: energetic, hungry, efficient ... it's fun to watch!!

Just one thing missing from those days... come on, D. :noidea:

 

[ejam21]

abdur rahkman shoots 28% from 3.....nailing everything tongiht. SMH

 

[Chase3]

We are very out of control but there is more hustle than I have seen all year. It's going to be tough to win with this lineup in but I'd rather see growth and development than seniors who have clearly reached their rather low ceiling. On with the future.

 

[oldman]

Do Tate and Thorne hit the floor tonight?

Do Tate and Thorne hit the floor tonight?

Hopefully not tbh

 

[Captain Bubbles]

I'm with Deon Thomas. Feed the post. Michigan's bigs are not physical.

Open looks....

That latest one was very lucky, loose ball found the open shooter. Oh well, like our start. Hopefully defense can start to create some turnovers.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Despite efficient shooting this is a weirdly sloppy game lol

 

[breadman]

Did I mention that I called TJL's bank of that 3-ptr?

 

[Chase3]

Someone get Mo Wagner some accutane

Energy can make up for skill. We're seeing that.
