Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

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

Yep, and another sad game for Dainja

Can anyone give me a score update? I am driving down the Central Valley with horrible reception.

Former Illini point guard Jeremiah Williams sighting on the Rutgers bench

I knew there was a reason the line swung 2.5pts before tipoff...

Today, I think it is Harmon that is sending the message.

Pointless point: We would be up 35 if we could make an open 3 and free throws today

The Dunk Heard In Lawrenceville, Kansas.

TSJ just said "I'M BACK!" with that dunk

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

Felt like he was releasing a lot of frustration in that dunk.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but this team might not only make the second weekend of the tournament, it will take a pretty good team on their game to prevent them from sneaking into the third weekend.

Adversity has a way of bringing a team together like nothing else can. The Illini team family has been through adversity the last few weeks... and they are responding in a positive and energized way thus far. And off-court adversity also prepares a team for ON court adversity as the games and the stakes get higher.
I don't see an early Dance flameout for The Beloved unless something really strange is afoot.

Sending a message in a blowout. Didn't like the lazy pass leading to a turnover followed by the standing there on defense on the saved ball. That's a good coaching benching of one of your hardest working players. Expect Ty to come out frothing at the mouth against Northwestern

 

[FloridaMan]

Good call on that TSJ block, I mean foul! B10 refs are so on point! We're lucky to be able to watch them.

Moretti garbage time minutes but still no DGL, huh?

Edit: there he is, checking in with AJ Redd, lol

 

[Miles Leonard]

Wonder if TSJ will be talking to the media after this one

[New Creation]

DGL sighting and immediately chucks a 3 and a take to the rim for 2.

 

[abchew2]

I bet it’s Harmon a QG that are available to the media

 

[JSpence]

I think he's said plenty

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Nice move and finish by DGL

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

6/26 from 3 point land
