Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Illini_1979]

Loving the drive and dish by TJL.

We're so bad defensively....

But Te'Jon at point is fun for me to watch.

 

[Thrasherx2k1]

Kipper!

If we could play a little defense this would be a very promising game so far

This is what we have been missing.

You mean... you mean... change the line up that makes sense = better play... ? AMAZING

Tejon Lucas is becoming my favorite Illini after Malcolm Hill

 

[Captain Bubbles]

It's the Lucas to Nichols connection!

 

[Bailey]

Tejon just put together 3 great possessions on BOTH ends.

I'm going to think our offense is that good, not that Michigan's defense is that bad.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Not often will you see Mav go up against such an inferior post-defender. My lord Wvagner :huh:

 

[Sizzler22]

Building is amped up!! TJL and kipper are the sparks this team has needed, lots of energy.

 

[illiniknight]

The art of taking a charge has been lost in college bb.

That is exactly what they wanted with the rule changes. They didn't make it outright illegal to take a charge but made it really hard in reality. They would prefer guys try to block shots. They believe it is more exciting that way.

FINALLY, a point guard making decent assists - go TJL!

Sorry to burst your bubble. Michigan's D is that bad.

 

[bombayIllini]

Lucas should be a permanent fixture.

 

[illiniknight]

I like the energy level of the team today. Now if they can find some defense to go with it then we have something.

 

[Chase3]

I hate that DJW took a break today, I feel he'd be good for this game.

 

[skyIdub]

Oh look!! A point guard!!

 

[CHIBB]

I love how TJL was fighting through screens earlier on D. Avoiding the mismatch that would favor UM

 

[ILL in IA]

Trips down the court where Mav touches the ball need to result in a foul or a shot. Him passing is bad news.

 

[LurkLongandProsper]

Sorry to burst your bubble. Michigan's D is that bad.

Broadcast said it -- they're the worst team in the B10 in FG% defense, we're second worst

 

[JudsonFTS]

Wow Walton steps...

 

[downstateIllini]

When Malcolm dribbles more than a couple times, nothing good happens
