Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

Relax, it's one half. More drastically significant are the season 3pt averages: 41% for KJ, 37% for TI, 35% for WR, BH, and JD, and so on.

I’d be surprised if Ty is back next year.

Yeah Ty is gone for sure unfortunately.

Ace Baldwin back injury after that early flop

You're trying to find a silver lining with him right now and there isn't one. Of all of his shots, only one was on line. The real silver lining will be if we can somehow continue this, he should get a lot of minutes to see if he can see a couple go in. Right now, everything looks too fast for him.

He's a freshman, man. What he's going through is a thing 95% of freshman go through in the B10. He'll be fine, just might need another year.

I think the light has switched on for Ben. Isn't this the same time of year Domask clicked?

Yep, right after Braggin Rights and TSJ *sigh*

Tre's midrange game is looking good.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Everyone not named Ben Humrichous, is 1-13 from 3. Horrible way to play imo.. I haven't liked it all year.

It takes a special set of eyes to look at a full glass of water and call it half empty.

 

[NarrowJ]

We ragged on Tre first 5 gms or so and then it was Ben the next 5 gms... who can we turn into a baller next???

 

[TheodoreRex]

Why is Baldwin riding the bench?

 

[Gbop]

Ace Baldwin injured on that flop= karma

 

[RML]

Didn't somebody tell me Tomi sucks on D?

 

[madillini4]

If Boswell just looked toward the basketball before beginning his shooting motion around the hoop his finishing would be so much better

 

[Retro62]

How is that a foul on Ben?

Will.

MOREZ!

Ace Baldwin back injury after that early flop

Yep, I'll tell you what, I don't want to see players hurt, especially good ones, but that's some karmic justice for a flop that wouldn't even be called in pro soccer

 

[WyattEarp]

Thank you. I was getting too happy about our season and needed some balance in my life.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

MOREZ!!!

You may be correct. Not a fan of the Tyler and Hamer Coaching show!

Will.

Let's do it I'm in lol

 

[Thaillini22]

Yeah this is the new way of playing. I trust Brad with the style. I think we can all agree there are a few threes every game that you wish we didn’t take but glad they feel confident to take them and Brad has instilled that confidence in them. Lay ups and 3s is what we will see all year.

BU is trying to play NBA-esque basketball. This is the new way, like it or lump it. One thing I do like is not scoring 15 in the 1st half vs. PSU at home!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Outstanding play by Will getting that to Morez

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

If Boswell just looked toward the basketball before beginning his shooting motion around the hoop his finishing would be so much better

Agree 1000%. He gets into his motion, then loses where he is.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Where is he going? At no time has anyone with knowledge hinted at that. He has been steadfast and loyal to his commitment since his sophomore year of HS.
