Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[grantlab]

Dra may need to start cutting into some WR minutes, especially with what he gives us defensively.

 

[skyIdub]

Riley 1-8.

Still better than Ben.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Boswell playing very good team ball today

He’s coming into his own … Really, really good player …

 

[FloridaMan]

Well, this is exactly the issue that people were pointing out when Rez getting a bunch of minutes and Riley getting a bunch of minutes in place Rez, like most freshmen, can be foul prone. This shouldn't be news to anyone. It's not plug n play. Then Riley, he's shooting it as bad as Ben is.of Ben.

There's a lack of consistency there that needs to be cleaned up. None of this should be a surprise.

Two of his "fouls" were not fouls.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Riley 1-8.

Have to get more from him … Have to …

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Bobby Hurley averaged 4.4 TO's per game his frosh year. He turned out pretty good. KJ will come around.

 

[hoopsfan47]

In 70 years of watching college hoops, I have never seen a player like KJ who makes so many spectacular plays and then hands the ball to his defender. Mind-boggling.

 

[skyIdub]

I’m gonna need a gif of the shirtless ginger kid please and thank you.

 

[foby]

Kwany Garris?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Nope … Sit him …

And who do you insert that's playing better or who can play at all due to foul issues? I'm not seeing an answer. Either Rez has to play defense without fouling or Riley has to make a shot.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Maybe I missed it but any idea why Mr Booth was in the game early? And hasn't been seen since

 

[Jon]

Ben got a board let's gooooo

 

[GTL Adam]

Boswell has been great since the second half of the Alabama game.

 

[BoiseBaller]

That was a GREAT stop and board by Ben.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Credit where it is due, that was a strong rebound by Ben.

 

[Illini88]

Ben has done well last three times down low on D. Hope it continues. But not optimistic

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Can we please work with Tomi on scoring the basketball against GUARDS. Like take it to the hoop man.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Tomi with a dude half his size on him in the post, what's he do? Fade away post move. What in the world

 

[DeeIL89]

Tomi gotta make that shot when he has a missmatch on him.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Where Tre White?

 

[skyIdub]

Have to get more from him … Have to …

I have an idea……

 

[New Creation]

This is now a FT contest for the rest of the game...

 

[FloridaMan]

Refs continue to do their damdest......good lord

 

[WeWillWhen]

Man, we have missed a lot of short 2s.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Yet, they were called fouls. Whether we like it or want to debate it, it's mood. He's got 4. If we can find a way to back two off.... perfect.
