Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Bailey]

having Damonte on the floor against a zone is like playing 4 on 5

 

[Pitbull14]

Can Underwood please stop starting and giving Damonte so many minutes. Has no confidence to score liability.

I don't understand why more teams don't zone us.

Watching our half court offense is like going to the dentist. Watching our transition game is like going to the candy store.

To be fair, AG has taken a few threes that have crashed off of each side of the backboard.

Ayo has to be better if he is truly a legit nba talent

"We've got a great back/forth game here in Champaign."

Not exactly the characterization I was hoping to hear from the announcers heading into a 2nd half TV Timeout.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

Still think Griffin will be our savior against the zone.

Katz loves us and has since preseason.

 

[illini2002]

TF with 16 now!

 

[kiwanegarris22]

[Illinidpm]

[Illini_Jack]

Frazier is having a hell of a game

 

[azillini1]

TF with 16 now!

Thank goodness he is on his game today.

 

[Smittyillini]

Play some D

 

[illini2002]

AG with the bank in 3! right on cue

 

[kiwanegarris22]

AG - on cue! (pew....)

 

[illini2002]

AG with the bank in 3! right on cue

Hey, as long as it goes through that big orange cylinder, it looks like a Picasso to me.

 

[illini2002]

Kofi is really struggling. this game.. Spencer just tackled TF

 

[FeelYourPaign]

I just saw Kofi pass out of a double team. Nice!

 

[illiniCA]

its really hard to watch this team fail to adjust

 

[skyIdub]

When Damonte is the only guy playing D you have to leave him in. This line is so tired. It's like some of you aren't watching the game, you're just watching how long Damonte is in.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Keep waiting for that run by us ... lol

 

[TCTORNADO]

I don't understand why more teams don't zone us.

They will after today.
