Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[IlliniFan42]

I'd like to see Brandon Lee get some tick, at least there's a chance he's here next year.

We are running some crummy offensive sets. Plus we have shot 3 airballs on 3s which is probably more than total all year. Go to the basket and stop all the stand on the perimeter.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

1st turnover 17 minutes in.

 

[NarrowJ]

1st turnover all night

 

[NarrowJ]

Look at Tomi dive on the floor

Also made the team rebound happen on the Mirkovic free throw

 

[FloridaMan]

Need to see that more. Get the ball down to Tomi and let him get some looks down there. He's looked better tonight.

 

[curtmoss]

If there’s ever a moving screen that was one!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There you go Tomi! Much much much better effort since the first 4 minutes

 

[illinifan1987]

I like what I'm seeing so far...

Jake has such a nice stroke*. I'll say he ends up with 6 3's

Get your mind out of the gutter...

 

[CDRUSN]

Mirk has really picked up his effort plays as the season has progressed, grabbing contested boards, driving the lane, drawing contact, and playing solid D. Brad's prior critical remarks from a few games back have really lit a fire. Glad to see his positive response.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Absolutely a foul

 

[BoiseBaller]

That's a "play on"? Come on dude, I know you went to Northwestern but still.

 

[FloridaMan]

Hey, Shon. Can you completely knock someone out of bounds? Laughable to think that was not a foul on KW's layup.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

How is that not goaltend???

 

[Jimbo]

Crazy, he got body. Definite foul.

 

[Bigtex]

Weird lineups tonight. Good chance to mix it ip

 

[Illinisnake]

Brandon Lee isnt this bad to never get playing time, sorry.

 

[Zorak]

Good Lord, this is ugly

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I can continue to see why Petrovic isn’t playing. he can’t make a layup. That’s at least four maybe five he’s missed.

If only those were the only issues he's had...

 

[Peoriapipeline]

I seen them call flagrants for less

 

[BoiseBaller]

Davis always ready on the catch. Love it.

 

[DeeIL89]

Jake from State Farm!

 

[Jon]

Rutgers 16, Jake Davis 12

 

[Illinifan74]

That's a "play on"? Come on dude, I know you went to Northwestern but still.

Then he doubled down and said if anything it was an offensive foul
