Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Retro62]

If Kofi had a bit more vertical, he would be virtually unstoppable

 

[DICKnaggie]

If both Dre and Kofi stay and Dre develops a demonstratable 3pt prowess and Kofi gets a drop step and counter/ improves his FT percentage, my god we could be amazing.

Ayo has got to make open 3’s no matter how great he plays this year, or he will not be a first round pick

 

[skyIdub]

Freshman showing how FT's work.

 

[Miles Leonard]

There you go Miller

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Nice find by Curbelo.

 

[New Creation]

This is how hard this team needs to play.. This is a championship team if they play this hard.

 

[Epsilon]

Wow this has been a horrible shooting night for Minnesota.

 

[New Creation]

Kofi right now to the whole minni team

 

[BRucks]

If Curbelo stays 4 years will break the school and maybe Big 10 assist record.

Bruce Douglas 765. Hard to top

 

[Dtrain1478]

Dan Dakich ready to give GHB to this entire Illini team and “get lucky”

 

[Orange Wave]

Love seeing them keep up the intensity and putting a team away

 

[azillini1]

Getting close to the time when players on the bench get some playing time.

Minny just doesn't have interior defense or offense. I think we may have played better defense tonight, but Minny is not very good offensively and it is hard to tell.

I love how Brad is splitting PT. Hawkins is gonna breakthrough. Curbelo has and Adam has had a couple great games. Just need consistency and it will come.

Wonder how things will shake down for Grandison and Verdonk.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Boy the Gophers should open and run a "brick factory?"

 

[logjam]

Time to some things, lineups, defenses, maybe some people outside the top 7 BBV? Time to rest Kofi, Ayo.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Wow this has been a horrible shooting night for Minnesota.

We're getting after it on defense but they've given us some help with horrible shot selection.

 

[CDRUSN]

Boy the Gophers should open and run a "brick factory?"

They're a Brick...House!

 

[New Creation]

Ayo have a mediocre game game and we are blowing out Minni..

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

I know some people have been already clamoring for Curbelo to start, but I still think our best lineup is starting five when playing well. Offense and defense. Curbelo and team are just fine with him providing spark and more off the bench.

 

[skyIdub]

Ayo have a mediocre game game and we are blowing out Minni..

We will go a long way with Ayo games like tonight. Great D....facilitating the offense. He scores 30 and something is not working. See: MizNoz game.

 

[logjam]

Get the best out.

 

[Retro62]

I love that Miller drained that after that bad decision on the previous play...keep shooting

 

[skyIdub]

Minny gonna go from 6-0 to 6-6 in a fat hurry.

 

[Cairo]

Miller is a disaster

Really?
