Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[skyIdub]

This is........I don't know what this is. The Monstars vs Looney Tunes???

 

[Retro62]

Oh my goodness

 

[BlueLeader]

Bring on Duke.

 

[ChiefGritty]

This is how this is supposed to work. We are supposed to be able to make shaky teams give up at home.

The... Looney Tunes won that game, bro.

I think Ayo needs another year, he’s not big enough to get his shot at the next level...jmho

Selfishly, I hope your opinion is 100% correct. If he plays at this level next year along with our added talent we could be a Sweet 16 team and Ayo maybe a 1st team all B10.

 

[BZuppke]

Oh my.

I wondered who would be the first to come in and say something like this.

L

Tevian wasn’t sure what to do with the ball and Frazier showed himm

ooks like he figured it out.

He has elite strength and body control so I don't think it will be a problem. if he comes back we could have our first All American caliber since Dee? I guess

Last person that I remember being able to finish like Ayo is Kiwane Garris. The kid is a stud at the rim.

 

[skyIdub]

If Ayo goes the Deron route....he will be a lottery pick.

Dear Baby Jesus.....

Kofi to CB, “I told you bro! When is your trip?” CB, “I just text OA.”

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

Lol Minnesota has been the cure for woes of the football team, the womens basketball team, and now the mens basketball team.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

My dudes. This is incredible. I hope Ayo and Giorgi don’t go 1-2 in the draft.

Tonight confirms for me that I am too invested in Illini basketball. No one should be this happy about win #5 on Jan 16.

That's a pretty good comparison imo. Garris was strong as an ox too

This was my first inclination. He either finished or was shooting FTs....and making them.

 

[ILL in IA]

Diving on the floor for a loose ball up 81-49. I haven't been this proud in a long time. Well done boys

 

[Deleted member 746094]

A lot of talk about Tevian, AG and Samba getting more tick. Do you put them in and leave them to play this out just for the experience?

 

[hoopsfan47]

Every scholarship player has scored....except for Kipper.

Same incredible body control too. Garris lacked the elite athleticism too but was 3 inches shorter than Ayo

 

[hoopsfan47]

Don't know if they have the strength and stamina.....but playing at this speed in concert with competence and this team could challenge in the B1G tourney.

I remember when THIS was Illini Basketball. Love it!
