Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Epsilon]

Looks like he fell because he reached too high. Not sure that was a foul.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Miller needs to play to his strenght, create the open 3.

 

[azillini1]

WOW... Kofi with 13 so far and more than half our points!

 

[bartwa]

From about the 11 minute mark until around 8:30 the team was really fun to watch.

 

[logjam]

Miller stuffed 2 times in a row.

He was trying to get his, unsuccessfully.

 

[LouHenson]

Yea I think Miller will find it hard to drive in the BIG we can really use his 3

 

[thehass]

Miller needs to quit driving in to traffic and stay with his strength.

Miller needs to quit driving in to traffic and stay with his strength.

He's not just a shooter.

 

[BWBW]

11 point lead.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

22-3 run

 

[BRucks]

Pitino is a weenie

 

[TheAngryBavarian]

22-5 run is nice...especially after the way we started.

 

[logjam]

Pitino jr. superspreader!

 

[Goode-for-3]

Trent didn’t seem to agree with the over and back call. Seemed pretty clear to me, did Trent say it was tipped?

 

[CDRUSN]

Like Bill Murray in Caddyshack, we need to annihilate those pesky Gophers.

 

[aaron2108]

We look really good when we play defense

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Hawkins is a very smart player. Happy with the minutes he’s seen this half.

 

[logjam]

Momentum changed when Curbelo came in.

 

[azillini1]

We have a good lead and have hit only 1 of 8 from three.

 

[Goode-for-3]

Momentum changed when Curbelo came in.

Curbelo definitely sparked the offense. If he could limit the sloppy plays (it’ll come) he’ll be great. Right now he’s still a positive piece and should be seeing 20+ minutes. Brad knows what he’s doing

 

[logjam]

I'm all for trading the 3 man weave for the Curbelo weave! Anyone else?

 

[skyIdub]

Miller freshman-ing hard tonight.

 

[azillini1]

Does Minny have an inside game?

 

[CDRUSN]

Belo is a combination of Popeye in a rage on a spinach high, and the Tasmanian Devil on speed. Makes some mistakes, but you can never fault his effort.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Miller needs to stop forcing it
