Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Manual3for4peat]

Makes me wonder if Collins pissed Brad off last year? He’s kept the foot down.

At this point is too late. Bench should have been emptied 3 minutes ago. Gets ridiculous

its like watch tom thibodeau all over again

I don’t understand why the freshman aren’t getting some time with the vets. They could have started playing at the 15 min mark of the second half

the vets earned this beatdown, gotta let them play it out, new season-highs, boost their careers/stats post-illini

 

[jumpingjack]

Yeah, but honestly, comparing last year to this year in any way becomes less and less feasible as this season progresses. Like some wimpy early 2000s emo band opening for Nirvana on a night when they were on.

I don't disagree. We saw a couple flashes of it vs UCLA and TX but...this is a whole other level of team.

I'd be mad if I had to play a team wearing those ridiculous Chicago jerseys last year, too.

(I'm never letting that go)

I mean... we're shooting well from outside (50%) and 62.2% from the Field. Why change what's working on offense?

Regarding Defense, not sure how Northwestern has "gotten wherever they want" because they're shooting 35%, and currently have 7 turnovers, and have been blocked 3 times.

Say what you want, but there's NOTHING we should be upset about in this game.

c'mon guys , he was being sarcastic about another poster's post.................

 

[jumpingjack]

When the game thread starts biiiitching about how we're beating NW too badly, you know we're pretty good.

 

[FloridaMan]

BU rewards players that deserve it. With the way he's handled the last week, getting these guys this prepared, I'll defer to his rotation decisions. But, yes, kinda like to see the young guys get some time.

Up by 30 with 5 min left in an early season game...seems like an easy call to start getting other guys tick.

I wonder if Larry bird ever met MD's mom back in the day.

 

[RickF]

Cmon. Play everybody

 

[abchew2]

Surprised Brad didn’t go to the bench once Boo went out. Absolutely impressive showing and if this team is as together as stated the ceiling keeps rising.

 

[skyIdub]

Ok...DGL and Hansberry in....everybody take a deep breath....lol.

 

[GrayGhost77]

Brad's just displaying dominance at this point.

 

[PopChampaign]

TSJ being out just opened it up for everyone else to show what they're capable of with more touches.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Umm, that Caitlyn Clark highlight was well after the clock expired. I'm confused.

While I'm always quick to beat that drum, I agree with what you said. I don't understand.

So I just don't understand, and that's that.

Let’s check in on 670 the scores midday team!

Is there a reason Bernstein has such vitriol for us? I swear every time Illinois is brought up he launches into a rant.

Do we get to see AJ cook somebody again?

He knows he can get clicks from us?
