Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Illini_Jack]

We really have locked them down on defense

 

[logjam]

We're better when Frazier isn't deferring.

 

[BRucks]

Now go 2 for 1

 

[BMoreIllini]

I just want to say, that since I've turned the game on, we've gone on a 22-9 run. You're welcome. Lol

 

[ChocolateThunder]

We look very good when we go inside-outside when we do not have a good shot inside.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

I'm still waiting for something good to happen from Underwood's timeouts in the last minute of the first half

Such a basic sequence. GB was pretty adept his first year. Hoping Kofi picks it up more as the season moves on.

 

[BRucks]

Miller is a disaster

 

[Illini_Jack]

Miller needs to stop forcing it

Miller didn't listen to me

 

[spillini]

Still sub-60% from the line

 

[New Creation]

Miller is a disaster

He is trying to find his way. Give him sometime.

 

[logjam]

We're in decent position at half, no trouble with fouls, Kofi positive, Frazier, Ayo, others involved .All good.

 

[skyIdub]

Miller and Curbelo need to start making better decisions if we're going to survive this B1G gauntlet.

 

[doowink]

We had 3 freshmen on the floor (Curbelo-Miller-Hawkins) at the same time for about 4-5 possessions......and we looked like it....all for getting our freshmen into action and getting game experience....but maybe not all 3 at the same time please

Solid fast break points

Miller is a disaster

He's a freshman playing in his seventh game. Fans like you give fans a bad name. Goodness.

Is Grandison in the dog house?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

We have always been a program that doesn't feed the hot hand.

Kofi unstoppable when they had some foul trouble. He got a breather and we forgot about him.

Trent start stroking it, we don't run anything for him. Instead Miller takes a tough shot.

Feed the

Is Grandson in the dog house?

He hasn't done anything the entire year, Id say Hawkins has surpassed him already. Hi bball IQ

Is Grandison in the dog house?

Was wondering if maybe he's got some type of injury that they're being cautious with???

 

[logjam]

Winning rbs by 10, 7 turnovers, freshman playing, weathered a bad start. Let's grab their neck and....well let's just keep our foot on the gas.

 

[BRucks]

And he has taken more shots than anyone else. Know your role.

 

[Goode-for-3]

Does Minny have an inside game?

According to Dan Duck-itch their big man (curry) has had too many injuries so you shouldn’t expect anything from him.

I think your right, Hawkins seems to play D well, is long and is a smart player. Unlike Miller tonight, he is not forcing it. So far I see way more positive in Hawkins than the transfer. Love to see BBV at some point?
