Game Thread: Illinois vs Monmouth

[skyIdub]

That's the kind of ball movement that will make coaches sit back and smile.

Shannon is so quick in the open floor

 

[eas23]

What a lovely possession.

Coleman playing D with one shoe off, lol…

Why is Mayer getting bumped around on the baseline by the Monmouth D?

Hi guys....................

 

[mydosburns]

Lieb isn’t the only one that can set “bone crushing” screens

 

[InDaAZ]

Dainja has a knack for wrapping his legs around dudes!

 

[madillini4]

Melendez still trying to find his way offensively

Guys....this team is going to be really.....really good come Feb.

BU must feel like the world is his oyster this year with this team. We may really get to see his basketball mind and IQ shine this season.

Dain runs the floor pretty well for a thicc boy

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Dain gives me more-athletic-Giorgi vibes.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

This is incredibly fun.

 

[eas23]

Jesus that pick and roll was beautiful.

Dain vs Mayer is the ultimate case for Fletch. Obviously way different players but one them has had a lot more time with Fletch

 

[Mr. Roberts]

7 assist on 9 buckets. Nice!

I believe the only two without assists were the Melendez steal and lay in and the Clark end to end drive !

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

There have been some marshmallowy soft foul calls.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Dain is going to injure somebody just standing there.

 

[Illini8420]

Dainja might have a shot at both conference 6MOY and POY

 

[skyIdub]

Skyy running the pick and roll this good in game 3? It's going to be unstoppable in a couple months.

Illini playing really really well on both sides of the ball right now,extreme sloppiness aside. Team definitely is playing at higher all around energy level than the first 2 games and much better offensive movement. Dainja and Clark having ballgames for themselves early. I like what I'm seeing from RJ as well.
