Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[biglug58]

Ahhh…Kelly Pfeiffer. Now I get it

 

[skyIdub]

Ooooh...the glow on that dome!

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

We never get home calls. We get better calls on the road. Perhaps our hospitality room sucks

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Rileys gotta flush that!

 

[Alma 19]

Anyone catch Brad "that's a horrible matchup"

 

[Illini IndyCar Fan]

That should be an offensive foul as the "shooter" jumps into the defender. Just abysmal what they have allowed the game to become.

Yup. An offensive player shouldn’t be able to initiate contact with a defensive player that’s already in the air while they’re not in motion.

 

[Illini4life79]

If Riley goes up strong and tries to yam that it's a foul. Weak!

 

[kyillinifan]

Riley should have dunked it

 

[skyIdub]

C'mon Will.....a Lottery pick throws that sh#t down.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

I am begging you will, take the ball TO the hoop. Directly.

 

[blife]

Riley has to try to dunk that Ball. Stop playing soft

 

[eas23]

Well, this couldn't have started much worse

It's 7-5

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Rileys gotta flush that!

His to the basket game is subpar. Needs to develop with more strength and instinctiveness

 

[DevILLDawg]

What uhhh....what's Riley doing? Go in hard to the rim and go for the dunk. His slow, hesy stuff only worked in AAU

 

[punchabove33]

Way too finess. Need to get more aggressive

 

[derrick6]

Riley a bit slow but like him attacking. He’ll need to resort to a pull up jumper to be effective

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Hammer that home like Cooper Flagg

 

[ILLFAN67]

Dunk the ball Riley

 

[Coop70]

Riley plays like a freshman in the first quarter of the season. He needs to play team ball and continue to learn the game

Literally gonna post identical .

 

[hoopsfan47]

Must shoot avg. at worst from the field to win this game. As much as the booth guys tell us PSU plays fast, it is in their best interest to slow the game down, muck things up defensively, hit the boards, and make Illini hit shots.

 

[RML]

Our D looks tough, and we're getting good looks. I'm content with the start.

 

[Ryllini]

I’m happy see Ben hit one early. We need that. I like the drive by Riley, Konan just made a nice play and beat it into the 2nd row. WR with the right idea. Meet him at the rim next time.

 

[illiniguy24]

Nobody:

Kasparas:

sorry I couldn’t help it

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Riley needs a TSJ injection. He is playing way too passive.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That sure looked like a goaltend
