Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[illinifan1987]

See everyone, our constant talking of Ben finally paid off. I'm sure multiple players read what's posted on here. Not only is he making 3's, but he's defending and rebounding as well! We all deserve a pat on the back

Ya we might be really really really really good yall. Without KJ… we are so so deep & talented. Along with maintaining this and blowing these guys out.. I’d absolutely LOVE a 2-3 minute Will Riley heater at some point.

To everyone wanting to throw any more shade at Will Riley....see: Ben Humrichous

So many weapons on this team.

 

[kyillinifan]

Good team play. Keep a 20 point or more lead going into half. Throw the hammer down.

Ben with 5 boards. Playing well all around tonight.

We are a bit lucky that PSU is missing all their shots.

 

[New Creation]

I think we were much BIGGER than they expected us to be. I don't think they have seen a team of our size and speed all year.

 

[DeeIL89]

Our defense been great and it has been the Ben, Tre and Morez show.

 

[Orangetool]

Kinda glad Ben missed that heat check. There are already too many wildfires going on right now.

Well played.

Riley starting to remind me of Melendez. He just is a liability on the floor

Me too - I started to type that twice and stopped myself.

 

[Idea Gardener]

It's only right to be as vocal in our praise of Ben as we were with our criticisms

Shhhh

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Bam and Tre just seem so fn calm. No KJ, no problem. We are lucky. Love KBs game tonight so far.

 

[Thaillini22]

Dayummmmm... that is all.

 

[GTL Adam]

Ben has looked great ever since he got that cupping treatment.

 

[SuperMetroid]

I much prefer being on the good side of a 30-point run

 

[rbillini2000]

I was told Ben sucks.

 

[TheodoreRex]

I'm more happy about Ben's defense than I am his offense (come at me lol). Also, can we give Riley an ounce of Ben's mojo right now???

Also, for as hot as Ben is shooting right now, the rest of our team can't shoot it in the ocean..
