Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[Second place is 1st loser]

Toppin can score 40 for all I care- as long as we win

That's exactly right. I was trying to tell that to people who wanted to continually run doubles at him. Let him try to carry them across the finish line all half. I'll take that vs some rando draining 6 of 6

 

[derrick6]

Hesi!!!

 

[DeeIL89]

He can’t guard Toppin

None of our guys can. I rather have Z in defensively than Ben.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

OH WHAT HESITATION BY KYLAN

 

[madillini4]

What a move, Kylan. What a move.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Make the free throws here and close this out.

 

[PopChampaign]

how did they miss him slipping into the paint. Boz was right there

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Awesome hesitation by Bos to lull the D to sleep on the layup.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

FT time. PLEASE HIT THEM.

 

[sacraig]

That challenge not aging well

It was kind of use it or lose it. After 2 min a lot can't be challenged.

 

[FloridaMan]

Finish it Kylan!

 

[CDRUSN]

There's been no stopping Toppin from pickin and Poppin. How is that dude not entirely gassed out.

 

[champaignpak]

in the tenn game last year we relied on an 18yr old. we have AS today for that moment

 

[HailtotheChief]

2 fouls to give! Damn too easy

 

[Epsilon]

I thought for sure we were going to burn clock and take a dumb shot. Great layup Bam!

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

We have 2 fouls to give let’s be smart here can bleed some clock!

 

[Champaign88]

Bos and Andrej PnR when Andrej is rolling is hard to stop. Nice play call, TT didn’t want to let Andrej get the ball so Bos got a layup.

 

[IceCuban]

Pro move by Boswell. Knew they'd favor Stoj, hesitates like he might kick back, beautiful...

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge free throw

 

[ILLFAN67]

Make free throws

 

[DeeIL89]

We got this. We got this. We got this.

 

[PopChampaign]

Oh my.

 

[so illini]

Massive free throws

 

[NarrowJ]

lmao ok

 

[CDRUSN]

Boz with the daggers at the line.
