Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[aaeismacgychel]

Tomi has been so bad at rebounding. Good gracious.

He's just ball watching thus far. I just don't think his strength and conditioning is there right now. Just not doing the plays that require exertion

 

[FloridaMan]

KB playing well!

 

[Zorak]

I can't believe how quiet State Farm Center is tonight. We need students back bad

 

[Scoregasm]

So is Tomi going to be the guy under a microscope we complain about all game now? Just want to make sure I have my fan page marching orders

Ben is sad about this......

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Tomi's regression has been crazy. Need to Zvoninir to start games.

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Tomi on the board!!!

 

[RollChief]

If he continues poor play, probably ya

Missing a long rebound and a 3? Spare me

 

[alaskaillini]

it's a Michter's night for me

I have the XO out. It was -15 on the way to work this am.

 

[FloridaMan]

Sorry, Mrs Ivisic.

Z is just way way more active and, frankly, just better right now.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

What the hell is this group on the floor right now?

 

[curtmoss]

Get the ball into the paint!

 

[CDRUSN]

Wow don’t recognize a single name on Rutgers. Harun Zrno?

Needs to buy a vowel from Vanna.

 

[Bigtex]

Two aired 3s and 1 for 6 from 3. Need some home court cooking

 

[Illinisnake]

Why is our home game atmosphere so so bad. It’s so quiet, even when students are there. It’s starting to become more concerning.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Somebody just needs to throw lobs to Big Z. He has like 18 inches on whoever is guarding him

 

[FloridaMan]

JD on a heater the last couple games!

 

[NarrowJ]

EZ

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Quickly an 11 point lead.

Big Jake Davis fan over here.

It is morguelike in there tonight. Maybe everyone is sleeping. Oddly quiet

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I know it's Rutgers, but defense looks really good.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Yeah let’s not have Ben, Davis and Mirk on the court at the same time again Brad … Just not a good lineup …

 

[NASchamp]

Besides Jake, we don’t look like we’ve shot 3s in this gym before. 2 or 3 airballs already

 

[aaeismacgychel]

He's strokin it. Love seeing that

 

[blife]

Tempo picks up and we look much better, much better flow to O

The lineup did fine. Rutgers scored 2 points while that lineup was in.
