Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I-L-L I-N-I chant breaking out in Greenville.

KB just realized his guy can't keep up and he can blow by him anytime he wants...with 13 mins left in the second half. Should have been driving by them from tip off

I like watching Keaton Wagler play basketball.

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

We are SO much better when we get into the lane and finish. If they double the ball, kick to open shooters. Get that ball into the lane!

Why are free throws iffy again

 

[tcb13]

free throws....

 

[TheChief4Life]

The I-L-L I-N-I chant are music to my ears!

 

[Iamgroot]

Mirk's handles even looking tighter

Im glad you said that cause I caught myself thinking the same exact thing

 

[Lysol623]

This has been a very welcome development. Great job guys!

 

[NarrowJ]

Only 5 three attempts this half after 22 in the first

Much better at getting good shots this half

 

[tcb13]

Mirk with is 45th rebound

ALL OF THAT

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Time to sit Jake.

What has he done tonight?

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Jake just needs to sit...

Edit: Nice rip, Jake!

 

[FloridaMan]

Let's start feeling good again!!!!!!

 

[spillini]

Surrounded by 3 Penn players. All IL teammates on the 3 pt line waiting for the kick out that wasn't to come

Andrej Kofiacovic

 

[Iamgroot]

If we keep up up at this pace were definitely going to cover the spread

 

[hoopsfan47]

Z and Jake have not joined the scoring party yet...but may combine for 30+ on Sat. That is what is so special about this team....anyone at any time.

[SuperMetroid]

This is more like it

 

[Mistakenj]

Jake Davis is such a liability on defense.

 

[jumpingjack]

The switch got flipped.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Yeah I think we all can exhale now

 

[NASchamp]

Fast break points?! Who is this team?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh Mirk has been absolutely gorgeous tonight. Hell of a second half thus far, boys
