Out rebounded 34-19 and 17-6 on offensive boards. That's effort. It's infuriating.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

Agreed should've been called goaltending. Not allowed to do that
Why isn't that a flagrant??? He threw Mirk to floor??
Pre game and game threads are always 90% criticism
Guy earlier said our losses to UConn and Bama were “really bad losses”… might’ve been the worst take ever on this message board lol
Looked to me like he was fighting for it that his own momentum took him down when the Tennessee player let go. I like that he wasn’t going to let go first. Bout time they have some fight
Yep the officiating is slightly better this half but not by much
Another example last two years and this game. Tennessee commits so many fouls the refs won't call them all.

I love Jake Davis' first step after he shoots.
He knows when it's going in, and I like to watch him getting a head start getting back on D.

A Pizza Hut move!
Mirk went down hard. Time out to repair the divot.
this team has made considerable progress defensively and its good to see
It was this mid-second half where we blew the opportunity last year to kind of “blow it open.” HAVE to win these next 4 minutes coming out of under 8.
I would pay so much money to see Lucas take the court in the orange and blue just 1 more time. In the 2 minutes he's allowed to play before getting kicked out, he'd do so much mental and emotional damage to the opponent we'd win by 20.

They were both fighting for the ball - mostly equally. That’s just big boy ball. Mirk’s learning what it takes.
I understand that but I've yet to see Tenn. shooting 40% from 2 and 29% from 3 and even 1 person say :you know what, our D is fighting hard"

Look where our guys are positioned when shots go up. That tells the story. They’re 15 feet from the hoop.
Another OR. Sigh.

I think we are close to Andrej time. Two straight aggressive drives. He snatched a big O board earlier in half. He should be out closer.

A couple of posts pointed out our solid D. People exaggerate the exaggerating.
