Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[zentrails]

They suck.... or we're just even better than I thought.

Why not both? LOL

 

[sacraig]

I’d like a do over against Marquette. I feel like we’re playing at a different level now.

That game still served a purpose for us as a measuring stick against a top team. And we've come together quite a bit as a team after that.

I got a kick out of Hummel calling Dee "the human fast break"

smh

 

[Miles Leonard]

Not if we keep forcing them into a pace they aren't comfortable playing, then can't. We have kept a fast pace on offense and have kept them off balance and throwing up crap on defense.

As long as we don't become our own worst enemy, which we're prone to do at times, this should be a 30+ point massacre.

That huge dude from Mizzou, you know the one that looks like Sasquatch wearing a mop head, has a double major in cave painting and mastadon carving.

Classy

 

[Ryllini]

I spy a triple double

 

[zentrails]

MIZ now 1 for 17 from 3!

If they were 9 for 17 it would be tied, maybe LOL

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Number of Division I teams shooting 85% or better from the line this year: 0

One can wish, right? Anything to beat mizzou by 40

MU PG looks like he is the 3td string fullback

for a PeeWee team LOL

 

[sacraig]

Well, time to go peak in on Tigerboard...

 

[ginabackes00]

I hope we can get far enough ahead for our freshmen to get more tick

 

[illinipimp]

Harmon looking a little lost out there. Like to see Dra get some minutes.

On the one hand, freshmen getting valuable tick.

On the other, pouring a 100+ bloodbath on Mizzou.

Good observation....team is getting healthy, learning to trust each other, and learning how to play together with all parts contributing. It would be nice to see DGL and AH step up before the end of the season...especially Amani. If AH can play 5-8 tough minutes of + against the food teams, these guys are a really tough out....like FF worthy.

Last 15 games in this series - leader at half has won. Looking like 16…

Lot of tools in that box for BU, keep it up and top 10 next week.

Observation on Goode I've wanted to make for a couple games now: when he jumps forward on his 3-pters, swish. When he fades back (which he's tended to do lately), bonk! He did the same on his FTs. Underwood called him out on it.

As fast as we're playing and only 4 TO's, love that.



ummmmm

 

[hoopsfan47]

Putting the breaks on only a touch, this is what happens when you start the game trying not to let your opponent score....at all. The basket shrinks and your opponent shrugs it off as a tough shooting night....when it is actually all good defense. Don't let the basket get as big as a the ocean.

That's quite the one half reversal from your pregame doubts.....
