Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[skyIdub]

When your freshman are getting this many minutes and trying way too hard....your upper classmen..Ayo, Trent, DMFW...have to take them to the side and settle them down.
Ayo accepted that role from BU earlier this year when he decided to come back. Make your team better. Settle those kids down.

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

I don't care how many shots he's taken. Calling a player a disaster in his seventh game is a disaster. over the top and ridiculous. Calm down a lot.

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

This isn't true at all. They started basically doubling Kofi. Every single guard was looking to make an entry pass and Minnesota was focused on stopping that from happening because they know if Kofi catches it, it's over.

Miller is a disaster

Never change, Loyalty

 

[doowink]

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

True....but you'd think Grandson would get a few ticks if he's healthy

 

[Goode-for-3]

Is Grandison in the dog house?

i don’t think he’s in trouble, he just hasn’t played well at all so far. Even in the starting cupcake games he looked lost

 

[skyIdub]

Whoa....did Kofi just make two FT's? Or did they replay the first?

 

[doowink]

Monte quietly having a solid game

Monte quietly having a solid game

As usual

 

[logjam]

How long has it been since we as a team have consistently fed the post. We haven't had a Kofi but......gotta open up 3 pointers.

 

[Illini_1979]

MN 2 PT FG = 23.3%, 3 PT FG = 25% Ugly

 

[Illini_Jack]

You can't stop Ayo in the open court

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

I had to laugh at the Frazier flop. Acted like he got shot.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Great guards make the defender disappear. Good line from Dakich. Not as annoying this evening. ;0

 

[logjam]

He got fouled by Monte's foot, lol

 

[Epsilon]

Looked like a walk to me...

 

[CV Illini]

Which one is your grandson?

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Dakich just said he believes Ayo has worked himself into a potential top 5 draft pick. Wow

edit: Curbelo with the nice fake and dish. He is must see TV in mostly great ways.

 

[2qtslow]

wow, when Dakich likes you, he really likes you

Dakich hyperbole is the best hyperbole.....until Walton walks in.

 

[logjam]

Kofelo! Kopywrited,lol

 

[Illini_Jack]

Curbelo as a junior is going to be one of the best players in the Big Ten

 

[Fr8trn16]

Momentum changed when Curbelo came in.

Always does with him! He attacks a teams defense hard and they have to collapse, which leads to open looks and easier baskets. He needs to start! We can't have two starters on the floor not scoring or looking to score consistently. (Trent, DMW) Trent is doing a better job of looking for his shot today. But we need that every game! But Curbelo is the truth!

This is true. He doesn't throw out compliments a lot.
