Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[illini2002]

all gravy! Lets go get a win I L L

Lol, relax, nothing personal at all....I think you quoted the wrong guy....my comment was that the sloppiness is from the non stop back and forth. They were gassed.

 

[skyIdub]

All the contact they've let go so far...and they call a Frazier screen. Lame.

 

[illini2002]

DW skied for the rebound!

 

[Steelyunk]

[illini2002]

[illini2002]

[Steelyunk]

Trent Frazier in ON FIRE. get him the rock!

 

[PNWIllini]

Frazier likes that spot.

 

[skyIdub]

DOWN GOES FRAZIER'.....s three!

 

[foby]

TRENT RULES

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Tevian looks like he's out of control when he's standing still.

 

[Illini_Jack]

HE'S HEATING UP!!!

 

[westvilleillini]

Man, Frazier reminds me so much of Dee sometimes.

I mean this nicely, but factually. He's not good. In the two minutes he was in, he turned it over and tossed up an absolute brick. Can't play him.

 

[skyIdub]

Now Minnie can't focus too much on Ayo and Kofi......move the ball and we have options.

Trent's transformation has been one of the most fun things to watch in the past decade of Illini basketball for me.

Hey he played a few minutes before taking a wild shot and then a bad pass. That's progress

Right. Move the ball. MN playing very tough D. They showed up. But Frazier can end this by half.

 

[spillini]

Beautiful passing

 

[skyIdub]

We can wear this team down. Second half should be ours.

Illini did not adjust well to Minny's defensive intensity. When they are quarding quick and tight, you have to fake and not shoot into the defender...unless you like eating leather. But Minny is not used to playing with that intensity for long periods and finally lost Trent. Defense has kept our guys in the game and Minny has been throwing bricks as the wrong guys are shooting their threes. Tough game so far, but typical for this team. Got to run them into the ground.

Man, this year's team plays the best defense I've seen since the Weber era
