Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[DICKnaggie]

This attacking the basket relentlessly and stifling defense is the ticket. If we can focus on that formula we will be tough.

 

[skyIdub]

If the team gets this message now....they can be really dangerous. Stop settling for the awful 3's and DRIVE!!!

 

[spillini]

Sencire with the floor slap.

We need a floor slap counter on Loyalty like the old web visitor count things

Always nice when the lightbulb goes on halfway through Game 30

 

[So ILL]

Man I hope they stop shooting so many 3’s.

They are just so good at driving the lane. I cannot remember a more athletic team at Illinois in at least 20 years, if not since ‘89

Keep attacking, they don’t move their feet.

 

[grantlab]

Amazing what happens when you play hard.

Ty Rodgers. Sencire Harris. Luke Goode.

 

[BRucks]

This team is so much better when they drive the ball

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Smart play, RJ. Force them to stop you without fouling.

yes…AND
Thank you for not saying DRIBBLE drive.
One person at time…maybe we can take back the language.

This has to be the dunkiest team we’ve had a very long while and that is saying something being that we had Kofi for 3 years.

Really that was just him and Coleman that dunked. Even Ayo didn’t dunk a lot.

 

[Checkout]

We would 3 more wins if we attacked the basket like were doin tonight!!!!!

The quieter story of this game is our FT's.

 

[pruman91]

When we drive and attack the basket we can beat ANYBODY....WE REALLY REALLY CAN.......

BTW , we need to hit our FT's as scUM has 6 fouls with @ 12 mins to go.......

FIGHTING MF ILLINI...............................the play this half is very encouraging to say the least.......2 points on a dunk counts more than all the missed 3's....

 

[FloridaMan]

RJ came to play tonight. Great to see!

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Little cocky to start the NIT chant with 12:05, but I like it

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Love that shot by Howard. Take that every attempt, kid

 

[Illini8420]

Keep attacking!

 

[eas23]

Carolina was a bubble team going into the Duke game....last year, Seth.

 

[skyIdub]

Ty can literally dictate every possession right now.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The quieter story of this game is our FT's.

Ooooof.....should have kept that quiet. If we get the yips, I'm referring the whole board to you post. Lol

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Rodgers playing like an upperclassman. Great body control

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Oh look another flop.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Floppity flop flippy flop flopperooni
