Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn

[Jon]

Alright, post up Tomi isn't the answer today l

 

[FloridaMan]

They are just letting Penn foul at will with not one call. Not surprised

 

[FoundersClub]

Not a great start

 

[LuckyIllini]

Tomi is sleeping right now.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Zens 3

The new Jake but

 

[skyIdub]

Penn is getting physical. Refs letting them play so far.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why do the guys seems slow today?

Because they aren't playing FDU. That gave a real, real false sense of security. This Penn team is going to be gritty.

 

[March2TheArch]

I’m all for physical. But this is not basketball. Powers has bumped Q multiple times with no consequence.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Need to see some of that ball movement and speed.

 

[Ghost77]

How much are the refs going to ignore our traveling this year?

 

[foby]

Tomi turning into a shot blocker.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Good. Get them ready for the B10

 

[March2TheArch]

Really missing Jake’s connectivity and Mirk’s rebounding.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Has the staff lost trust in Z?

Why is Jakstys always in before Z?

 

[CDRUSN]

Tomi still struggling this year to grab interior passes and rebounds with 2 hands without juggling the ball. Seems continually surprised when the ball comes to him. Hope that's just temporary and not a continuing trend.

 

[blife]

some serious banging and hacking with no calls. Could be tough to get to the line tonight

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Zens another 3

Your Jake replacement

 

[skyIdub]

So many Z's...so little PT.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Surprised Penn has so many returning starters from last years NCAA tourney team

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Zens

Looking great

 

[skyIdub]

Hey!! Peja in blue!! Baby steps.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

Liking what I’m seeing from ZZ today

 

[BBlock24]

Penn should have way more than 4 fouls lmao

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Man gotta make the layups

 

[DeeIL89]

We're missing some easy buckets.
