Game Thread: Illinois vs St. Francis (IL.) (Exhibition)

[2qtslow]

Ok, the opposition is not good, but it looks to me like Hutch just might be for real.

Should I continue my commentary (and observations) or are y'all good? Haha

I'm in Thailand and you are my announcer. Please continue.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

YES PLEASE. Did not pay for BTN+

I'll keep up but feel free to use https://www.radio.net/s/wdws to feel the vibe.

Will do soon, but watching a full game replay of the football game first!

So far, Hutch impressive, very athletic. Freshman look like bigten bodies. Plummer, not much yet. Curbelo, well hes curbelo.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

ILL 39 - 13

Looks like BU is trying to get almost everyone some playing time.

Ayo playing well for the Bulls, Illinois basketball is back, and Illinois football beat Penn State. Great day

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Fast release 3 by TF.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Payne has good blocks/defense but not KOFI level dominance...obviously
Hawk back in
45-15

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Quick thoughts:

As expected: Kofi dominating, Curbelo doing Curbelo things (and a nice three), Trent/DMW/Grandison all look like themselves

Nice surprises:
CoHawk block and taking the ball up in transition
Hutch looking bouncy as advertised and puttting up points

Not great: Plummer and Payne shooting not on target
Big Ten plus video quality.

Is the student announcer who is doing color on this game the inventor of "Schmack!"? Sounds like his voice.

OK, Google has the answer. Anthony Pasquale really is the Schmack guy.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Flashy layup by TF. Looks like Ayo pts being covered by TF and Hutch,

47-18

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

BBV in the game.
TF is making steals after steals.

51-18 HALFTIME

Trent Frazier - 5 Steals

 

[skyIdub]

Frazier doesn’t want you to have the ball.

Hawkins and Hutch definitely the highlights in terms of “who steps up /shows out” in the first half. Kofi/Dre/Trent all looking “elite” as well. But no one is unsure of their home in the rotation

There's an issue with the Roku app. They're rolling out a fix soon. (like a week or so)
A work-around for this issue: try fast forwarding until you catch up to live and it will play video on the Roku.

Trent Frazier wants to take your lunch money.
Kofi wants to eat your lunch.
