Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn

[Oranges]

How did Lincoln finish that?!?!

And 1

Thought he was gonna punch it for a second, great finish though

 

[New Creation]

How many layups have we missed? We would probably be up 20 already.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Lincoln Williams will be a dawg in a year or two

 

[Jon]

Real uptick on non Z-blocks. Very cool

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Very, very nice burst by the young guys.

 

[skyIdub]

Dre just bodied and bootied a 6'9" PF. He might be unstoppable this year.

Have a feeling that the coaching instructions for Zens were to follow Jake Davis around.

 

[foby]

I'm noticing fatigue by our guys. If you're going to play this style, you had better be able to do it for 40 minutes.

Penn looks much more fatigued to me.

Credit Penn's defense for not just giving up on plays. They're disrupting flow just enough to cause the guys to rush. That Lincoln Williams finish would have ended up the same way if he didn't adjust in the air.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

JJ with some decent rebounding so far.

A little finishing at the rim on offense would be nice, but at least he’s going for the boards.

 

[PNWIllini]

Stojakovic is ours and you can’t have him

Took a big offensive jump. Agreed, he'll have a huge year!

 

[skyIdub]

You can tell Brad lit them up in the huddle about their D. Great hands and hustle since then.

He has looked really good.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Zens reminds me of JD.

 

[zentrails]

Penn looks much more fatigued to me.

not by much though, it'll be interesting to see how they finish the half

 

[PNWIllini]

Is Lincoln Williams going to be a surprise this year. He looked great on that last drive.

 

[foby]

Lincoln Williams will be a dawg in a year or two

Or by midseason.

We’re not giving up shots at the rim.

We were at the start of the game.

 

[thehass]

Our freshmen are not playing like typical freshmen. Good group.

 

[FoundersClub]

Jason over Z is interesting

 

[RML]

Awful lot of rebounds off our hands.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Defense is locking them up!

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Stoj is on a mission this year.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Vaaks playing some good D tonight
