At halftime is nasty work lol

 

[Mobi]

Utter dominance

Keaton at the end of the half

Nobody on the Illini roster put up more than 5 shots in the 1st half.

6 players had either 4 or 5 shots.

That is team basketball.

Teams like that can do great things.

Man, I rarely ever dare venture into the game thread. Seemed safe today... Jesus this team is fun!

Just another day in the office …

[ImGonnaBeILL]

One of their best half of the season

Well, I would like the utter destruction of both Michigan and Michigan State a little more, but this is quite nice, thank you.

This is giving me shades of when the Illini beat NU at home in '05 84-48. This team is nearly that good. And I'm all the way in.

And the Illini are on track for all of these with 11 threes, 23-11 on the glass, and 3 turnovers.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Can’t really blame NW for blitzing Wagler on ball screens. But Illinois is just HAMMERING them for doing it.

You cannot double this team when they are shooting like this. Pick your poison.

 

[BTM33]

I still remember when we didn't beat Minnesota by enough and the board was in a panic

Keaton missed 2 FT in that first half. Going to have to pick it up in the second.

Find one thing to complain about after that half.


Only wrong answers.

 

[NarrowJ]

47 points on 29 possessions
1.62 points per possession

29 possessions is 2009 Weberball pace

And yet so flipping fun to watch

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

I don’t know, we did turn it over 3 times in the first half. Better clean it up

 

[Joel Goodson]

we got us a dadgum unicorn

rest of the team is ok too

[IlliniFan42]

I am ready to watch Petrovic attempt to run the offense for the next 20 minutes.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

So we’re pretty good.

Well, there were no hook n hold reviews. UNACCEPTABLE!

They're making it increasingly difficult for me to stay level-headed about their title chances
