Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[hoopsfan47]

TT is pretty good and mentally tough...but Illini size and skill is showing up at home. Use this game as the floor and learn the lessons. Pretty impressive so far.

Kelly stinking the place up with the no calls. Finally a walk on Toppin.

Post defense has been fantastic. Offense has also been fantastic when we are patient

We're pulling chairs on their post ups at an elite level

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Bam is our leader

Texas Tech has had absolutely no answer to Big Z on either side of the court this half.

They have no answer for Andrej. When have they stopped any of his attempts?

 

[derrick6]

Bam is our leader

Stepping UP!

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

BAM Bam!!

Our D…

 

[SuperMetroid]

3-point shooting is so much better this year

Smart play by Mirk there, basically did a rip move and pulled the chair out. Knew refs ain't calling contact. Big turnover forced leading to the 3

 

[NarrowJ]

We're pulling chairs on their post ups at an elite level

Over half of their turnovers are travels or carries

I have no problem with JJ getting 3 important min....he has earned them and did fine.

 

[UCantHideYer]

I like our announcers. Of course, the score probably why!

 

[foby]

I mean.....

Hard not to get ahead of ourselves...

Not even full strength....

 

[IlliniFan42]

The defensive plan really seems to have been let us shoot threes and hope we miss, wonder if they change that up second half

 

[BBlock24]

Andrej!
