Game Thread: Illinois vs North Carolina A&T

[sacraig]

The '04-05 team was amazing but I think this team would win a best of 7 series. Longer, better overall athleticism, and a better bench.

That's a pretty bold claim based on the first 14 minutes of one game against a cupcake.

I know NC A&T aren't amazing...but this is the best Illinois team I've seen in my time...

Obiously you missed the Flyin' Illini....they could score 30 in about 5 minutes at times. Jet fast, quick, and could not miss when hot.

It’s one game against an overmatched squad. Let’s pump the brakes with takes like these.

Easy. Let’s wait until at least the Duke and Baylor games before we start that comparison. That Illinois team did to the Chris Paul led #1 Wake Forest team what this team is doing to North Carolina A&T today.

One of my favorite viewing experiences ever. Ran them off the floor.

Man is Miller a shooter!

Yep. Just like this game, it was over ten minutes into the game.

Illinois shooting some crazy percentage from the arc. It's a new year alright

Please pass the flask, Illinifan533,

I'll wait for a different thread to explain my reasoning if I can remember to do so and to avoid Dan having to interject . I'm old enough to remember the '05 team so it's not as if I'm being dismissive of them.

If Giorgi and Kofi can pass out of the double team like that this year....holy 3pt %!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Miller is crazy.

 

[LoveLovie]

Adam f’ing Miller....

 

[LostinNebraska]

Adam Miller could go for 30 without breaking a sweat today!

 

[Illini_Jack]

Adam Miller! Holy crap!

 

[haasi]

Coleman to Miller. Beautiful

 

[skyIdub]

Walk on in the first half alert!!

 

[haasi]

Give us Lieb!!!!!

 

[Illinifan533]

Nice to see a blue-chipper make an immediate impact.

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Brad wasn’t kidding about Coleman’s passing skills. Looks more fluid than I expected.

 

[BWBW]

Miller is something else.

 

[Highlander]

Wow. AM!

 

[altenberger22]

19 in first half of first game. (And he missed his first shot).

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Miller couldn't be having a better debut.

 

[LostinNebraska]

OK, Adam, we see you...lol
