Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn

[Jersten]

Who would have thought 3s would be easier after we established the paint game??

That's what I said earlier... Good things happen when you attack the rim

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Put in Petro!...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Time to sit Jake.

What has he done tonight?

He's been pretty bad tonight. I can't imagine it's nerves, but he's been a fish out of water from the jump.

Inject Mirk’s blood into the rest of the team and we will be a nasty tough out.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Mirkovic is insane.

 

[PNWIllini]

They’re doubling Wagler so of course Mirk goes off

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

I will die for Mirk

I will live for Mirk.

 

[BrownTown]

Mirkovic takeover! Young man has been all over tonight.

Our freshmen bringing the fire to the tourney.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Gotta keep playing hard these last 8 minutes and bury them

 

[Poe's Law]

Put Tomi in, make him shoot 3s until one hits

Or he grows a handlebar mustache.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Any chance people can give BU credit for halftime adjustments? I doubt it.

To be honest, Rusty, it's an obvious adjustments.

When your whole fanbase is calling for it, it's very obvious.

Adjustment: go inside.

Mirkovic is insane.

But in the best possible way, like clearing everyone out so he can fire a 3.

I adore him

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

That Zanoni kid did this in the Harvard game too. Good player.

I just told my son that. That little pull-up is deadly.

Ivan Drago Mirkovic: "I must break you!"

 

[abchew2]

It’s not easy to break a team in the NCAA tournament with 10 minutes left. Well done

 

[CrazedUIFan]

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Jake is having a bad game.
I still love him getting 10 minutes.

Tonight is an anomaly.

 

[TheodoreRex]

2nd half execution has been absolutely outstanding. Great adjustments!

[AirTran]

I will live for Mirk.

He is an exceptional basketball player at both ends of the floor

 

[freddbird]

Rotate the bench! Get everyone in this game

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Priority number one this offseason has to be retaining Mirkovic

 

[Rusty]

I wish Bos could guard, Power 2-8 and 6 pts. Don't care about the flu, he played and other than the 3 at the end of the 1st half....non-factor.
