Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

Justin Harmon = Illini MVP in today's game.

Agreed. This has definitely been the Justin Harmon game. By far his best game of the year.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Now time for Domask to get hot! Keep them looking for the right hook but hit them with the left!

I feel like Marcus is the guy who's going to have the find his way a bit. His role changed dramatically.

He has had a couple other big games....but this is a match.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was a really good D by Domask there. Hell of a job one on one.

 

[NarrowJ]

Domask says GET THAT OUT OF HERE

The free throw gremlin has crawled back into the lineup.

Honestly for a game where we haven’t shot well from the line or from three, I’m happy

 

[Jimbo]

Tsj is a great passer

 

[illini0440]

Does anyone know why players are allowed to wear lime green/other colored shoes?

Why wouldn’t they be allowed too?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Fernandes gets his 5th. That should be it for Rutgers. They can't afford losing him.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I'll take it but... How is that a block?

 

[Loyalillini10]

Why wouldn’t they be allowed too?

I really believe Haas is an honest to goodness troll.

 

[skyIdub]

Why wouldn’t they be allowed too?

BECAUSE IN 1955 WE ALL HAD MATCHING SHOES TYLER! SHEESH!

 

[FloridaMan]

Way to get it together fellas!

 

[OB positive]

There's been significant contact this game allowed for both sides, and there really wasn't much there. Maybe the refs told Fernandes to calm it down or they'll call him, but if not, you let that go- it was a slight bump off the ball.

He got caught trying to pull a sly one. It happens.

This was a 55-51 game not too long ago. Our boys sure know how to turn it on in a hurry.

 

[JSpence]

This is quickly getting out of hand in the BEST of ways

Agreed, though I'd prefer that they'd choose the route of going up 24, when already up by 14.

 

[hoopsfan47]

I would imagine that the lime green shoes are all about NIL contracts.

 

[BRucks]

Lol, Harry Potter.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ok, the Harry Potter chant was pretty funny. The Krush hasn't had a great game today but that was solid.

 

[zentrails]

Sending a strong message for playing time. Novel concept.

And Ty is either hurt or BU is sending him a very strong message he couldn't do with a 6 man rotation

 

[sharpshot16]

This is a top 10 team

 

[hoopsfan47]

Rutgers has a pretty good team...they just can't shoot other than Cliff.
