Game Thread: Illinois vs Oakland

[Orangetool]

I was hoping Bardo had taken the time to learn the pronunciation of our new players names.

Kinda tentative, he still seems to struggle, the goof.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Tomi has disruptive hands on defense. He tips a lot of balls. Meanwhile, on offense, he has that tear drop dialed in.

I know it’s early but Oakland looks awful

 

[New Creation]

Oakland’s plan looks to leave Ben and Toni to make shots. So far they are doing

 

[BBlock24]

We haven’t scored 20 points yet. What gives?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Boy does Ben have a clean stroke...

Stats say we have turned it over 2 times to 3 for Oakland....but it seems like 1 -7....they have thrown it away many more than 3 times it seems to me. Or maybe it was bad shots....same thing.

 

[NarrowJ]

Oakland either likes to use a lot of the shot clock, or our defense is pretty good. Probably a combo of both.

Also, we got a player with Tre.

Don’t worry, WR is holding those points in his back pocket…

Riley is the truth!

Will Riley is so silky smooth on the trigger. It's straight up watching an NBA player play college ball.

 

[hoopsfan47]

One thing for certain about Riley....he knows how to shoot and efficient shot....from anywhere.

Well Brad has his first 1 and done lottery pick recruiting pitch locked up lmao

 

[NarrowJ]

Unselfish looking group we have here.

 

[hoopsfan47]

One the floor now for Illini...three frosh and two sophs.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

KJ has to look to finish and not just dish. He had a layup and turned it into a pass that handcuffed Tre. At 6'6", he can do so much more with that length offensively.

 

[madillini4]

Riley is so much fun to watch

 

[skyIdub]

Will is gonna set a record for fouled as a three point shooter?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Riley just such instant offense off the bench...

 

[ChiefGritty]

God other Big Ten forums are going to be in flames if they keep calling these Riley flops lol

 

[hoopsfan47]

Can anyone name another great athlete from Kitchener, Ontario? He was a US national champion.

Will Riley is so good
