Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio

[Steelyunk]

OK, facing some adversity. Not a bad thing if you respond.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Sloppy

Ohio playing very well and hard....good test for Illini focus, intensity, and execution.

Andre has been trying to be too fancy, share the basketball. It sticks to him too much, even last game.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Curbelo ... Another TO. Come on!

 

[Steelyunk]

Damonte matchup isn’t great for us. Probably need to be doubling that in the post. Curbelo’s turnovers aren’t going to be as easily absorbed today - much less next week. Wonder when coach starts sitting him after those.

DMW big 3.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Smooth jump shoot by DW.

This has all the makings of a game that goes down to the wire. I don’t see Ohio going away. Illini finally getting tested and it’s showing. This is good though because this will help them going into the Baylor game. Need to experience some adversity. As crazy as it sounds it’s not good to win every game by a million points.

Better get on the boards. Defense and rebounds.

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

Those open looks aren’t falling today. The rebounding advantage isn’t there anymore either. And Ohio isn’t bothered by our defense yet either, they’re able to score efficiently. This is gonna be a battle.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Our FT shooting leaves something to be desired.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Just able to tune in. Gonna pretend I didn’t see those GB free throws, and pretend it’s 0-0, not 21-21. Sounds like I’m glad I was late

 

[Sizzler22]

Slow slow slow reactions on defense. Sad to see Kofi has less mobility from last year.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Feels as if we've been completely outplayed but yet it's a tie game.

 

[JJE]

A little bit of a Thanksgiving hangover for these guys. They'll get it figured out in the second half.

 

[altenberger22]

Good (entertaining) game so far. Ohio very competitive......they have 2-3 nice ballplayers.

 

[jason88cubs]

Andre is gonna exceed 100 death stares from Underwood by January

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

ANOTHER TO? WTF CURBELO?

Yup they are definitely a legit opponent. This game is gonna be difficult to navigate.

Anyone else having trouble getting the online Fox Sports stream to work?

I am. I can only get it to work on my Xbox. As we're on the road, I'm stuck listening to the radio feed

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

ANOTHER TO? WTF CURBELO?

He needs to sit. The negatives outweigh the positives unfortunately.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Kofi out on the break droppin dimes

 

[Jon]

Yep, settle down. Everything needs to run through Kofi, whether it's a low post touch or let him wall off for a guard to drive.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Lmao...Kofi starting the break and not looking too bad at it.
