Game Thread: Illinois vs Southern

[ForWhomTheBellTolls]

FWIW, AJ's career high is 14. I had to look it up.

Good catch - must have been freshman year? Don't remember him topping 11 last year.

 

[Illiini]

lol, Barnhart can't handle saying "Eboigbodin" at all

He'll be getting a lot of practice.

 

[CAHALL15]

Yep after listening to this...it almost makes listening to Bill Walton tolerable

I’m loving it. This commentary is extra entertainment.

 

[Illwinsagain]

The last game I listened to on the radio was the UI/UIC game, yes, that one. This is much better!

For the curious, Wake Forest 75 Georgia Southern 73 with 3:59 left.

I wanted a freshman to score 20 in his first game. I will settle for six players in double figures instead.

 

[PNWIllini]

Groce's teams lived and mostly died by the 3

This team is 2/15 for 3's and is up 30

 

[ForWhomTheBellTolls]

Really impressed that with the 3-pointer not falling they continue to run the offense, and get good 2 pt shots or get to the line. Only taken 3 three's this half.

Lol IU

It was his very first game - in that losing effort against North Florida.

 

[Mike]

He can barely handle "Alstork" He's called him "Alstark" about 7 times.

LOL...Barnhart said "Alstark" during the few seconds it took me to read this.

 

[ivwilsoniv]

I want triple digits.

I'm hoping for at least 125 now.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Is Smith unlucky to have four fouls in 18 min, or is this a concern? Thanks

 

[drewillini89]

Hahahaha Wake lost. Vibezzzz

 

[skyIdub]

Now just imagine a couple months from now when they are comfortable, confident, and find a rhythm!

 

[Captain Bubbles]

I like Deon's color commentary better than Doug's. Both of them are good, but I think Deon is better.

 

[t7nich]

Te’Jon fell and hit his head pretty hard on teammates leg. Hope he’s ok. Looks like he’s got ice on back of his head

 

[Illwinsagain]

I'm liking this doubling the opponent thing....

 

[ForWhomTheBellTolls]

Alstork stuffing the stat sheet with 17 pts, 10 rebs. and 4 assists.

 

[kuhl84]

This is definitely a new era.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

I like Deon's color commentary better than Doug's. Both of them are good, but I tend to lean more toward Deon better.

"I'm mad I won't be here tomorrow to get my free fries!"

Watching AJ ball out is :FLAME EMOJI:

Wow - Georgia Southern must be really good to take down a F4 team.

 

[Spoon House]

Tough break on that offensive foul. Somebody give that guy an Oscar.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

weak call given Finke took a few down there
