Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[FreshlySqueezed]

Did Shannon twist his left ankle?

8 point lead. Give up a dunk, throw the ball away on a really dumb pass, then give up an offensive board for a 3. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

This is absurd.

Payne is a player

For those who bet the over, congrats!

 

[ILL-Intentions]

so much for holding them in the 70s, we may need triple digits to win

 

[ChiefGritty]

STOP LETTING GARCIA BACK GUYS DOWN

May???

All things aside, this is a very entertaining basketball game.

I’ve given up hope we’ll get a stop and/or secure a defensive rebound at this point, so for the love of god, just score more than them.

 

[Champaign88]

Maybe time to get a couple minutes of Hawkins and Dain to match up with the MN bigs before we probably have to sit Dain so they can’t hack him?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

This is insane. Neither team can stop anyone.

 

[TonyClifton]

Does Brad have other kids that could coach the defense? Offense looks amazing, Tyler.

 

[skyIdub]

One bad shooting night and we are toast. We could lose to anyone on any night. That's the unfortunate reality of this defense.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini with only 4 turns...as well as Gophers. Some pretty terrific shooting tonight.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Minny is getting a lot of lucky and contested shots going in.

 

[illiniguy24]

They refuse to call a travel on Garcia tonight.

 

[abchew2]

While defense is concerning, if we are shooting well I do not expect us to get outscored. It’s if the offense hits a wall that is scary. Tonight does fall under the shooting well umbrella though.

 

[alaskaillini]

Mn 70% from field, 80% from 3 this half.

 

[Zorak]

This team couldn't stop the Washington Generals

 

[illinifan1971]

Crowd chants Defenselsss, defenseless!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Payne is a player

Legit reminds me of a more mobile (Sophmore) Kofi.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

All things aside, this is a very entertaining basketball game.

We've turned into Iowa

 

[KCBassin]

Feels like they have contested fairly well but minny just isn't missing
