Game Thread: Illinois vs Morehead State

[UCantHideYer]

Justin Harmon….first time today?
And yet another….3rd first round loss mention.
This guy needs firing.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Let's get Shannon out now.

 

[foby]

Let's get MD a point.

 

[DB11Headband]

Would like to see Ty and DGL close this out to get some confidence before Sat

 

[Illiniaaron]

Morehead State is not getting good minnix this half from their best player.

I like what you did there.

 

[Coop70]

Morehead State is not getting good minnix this half from their best player.

I see what you did there...

 

[AyoDos11]

Let's make the S16 so we can get some new announcers

 

[cs04]

just get everyone reps and let 'em hit some shots

ok also. maybe get Marcus that triple-dub

 

[PepeSilvia]

This game changed with they set Ty and put Dain in

Love Ty but yeah he was not great today.

 

[TheChief4Life]

So, here’s the MVP this game? I mean TSJ, Dan, Domask? It’s been crazy how good we’ve come on this second half!

 

[New Creation]

Bruh this announcer has repeated the same wrong fact like 3 or 4 times.

The first round exit 3 straight years... he has said it so much that it has me confused...

First Half Loyalty: "Domask is killing us!"


Triple Dub MD:

Guilty

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Can you translate that to layman terms please? LOL

The Rocky strategy

 

[wpr]

Are they feeding the ball to Domask to get a triple double?

 

[IllinialuminAZ]

Thank you so much, and my heart goes out to you too.

Sorry to hear, Foby. I just lost my dog a week and a half ago. It's rough. They're part of the family. My sympathies.

[SuperMetroid]

So we got the OSU first half and the Nebraska second half

 

[stlrunner]

Only 8 points away from our 3rd straight game with a 50+ point 2nd half.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

One might describe this as Morehead State getting blitzed. They have no answers for anything and are completely gassed. This is now a 1 vs. 16 level blowout.

I probably shouldn't have been as nervous, but too many demons from years past. Even near the end of the first half, Morehead State looked like they were desperately hanging on for halftime like a boxer is hoping to survive to the bell to end the round. Once Illinois got up 57-48, I texted my brother a "finish him" GIF.

Dainja ... No doubt about it ...

Changed the momentum of the game ...

TJ could be MVP every game but he's so dang good this has become the expectation ... And fans need to take a minute and realize just how amazing he has been ...

Thank you, and so sorry to hear that. They are so wonderful.

Wait, is Dan really Dain?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This game changed with they sat Ty and put Dain in

Ty really had some butterflies tonight. I want to see Brad put him in here, let him close this and get some confidence as we're going to need him on Saturday

 

[zentrails]

Any left who is nervous? On to the Mighty Dukes!!!

Nervous that MD doesn't get his triple double and that's it.
Enjoying this half thoroughly~!

 

[skyIdub]

TRIPLE D MD!!
