Game Thread: Illinois vs Oregon

I am so tired of Dre never looking to pass off the drive

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

uninspiring basketball here. Shot selection has been brutal

I agree and that is a concern. I don't understand why we don't play and operate out of the post more. We have big men who can pass, when we cut to the hoop, the play is there to be made and when there's a collapse, THEN kick it out for an open three.

The pass it twice and let a 25 footer rip....I can't believe that makes the staff thrilled.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

KEEP BIG Z. They cannot score.

What is Andrej’s shooting percentage on dunks?

AS doing AS things.

Brad had TSJ call and have a conversation with Andre, afterwards, Andre watched TSJ film on repeat.

 

[Doogie94]

Illini winning by 20, Jayhawks losing by 20.

Now we're talking!

It's really astonishing how much better Z is on defense than his...identical....twin brother.

I honestly don't care if I see Tomi play the rest of the season. He is bad on both sides of the floor. Give me Z all day long.

 

[Sim]

Andrej and the dunks, don't always work.

In a shocking development, Brad and staff finally realized mid-game that while Big T is borderline unplayable, Big Z is giving us huge effort and quality minutes every time he enters the game. Thanks Coach Obvious, I wasn't positive you would make the connection.

We just went to commercial. Brad will probably sit Z again.

The love and hate Andrej saga of 2026!

7/10 per bart torvik

I kind of like it. We need someone to attack and not play pretty. I also don't mind a good clean foul when needed.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Boswell back in.
What was that about? Seemed like FOREVER that he was gone.

He kicked it to Davis in the first half for an open 3

I would agree. It is baffling how different their skills are.

 

[…INI!]

Only the first row or two of KRUSH are standing.

 

[skyIdub]

The last Illinois player that was as crazy hot and cold as Andrej??

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Andrej feeling like himself again. Showing a lot of effort on both ends. Really like seeing that

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

The. Whole. Game.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

It is amazing how unathletic Keaton is

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

He's more agile and he has more bounce to him. He gets off the floor a lot quicker. He's definitely the more athletic of the two, but Tomi is more skilled. I have no answers, outside of blown confidence, on why he'd struggling so mightily on offense.

Matthew Mayer????

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Offense coach of the year just has to figure out how to get Andrej in the right switch!
