Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[BlueFlag]

Put him back in!

Humrichous has been on monster on the boards . . .

 

[CDRUSN]

By far one of the most entertaining first halves of basketball by the Illini I can remember. We are absolutely loaded with weapons, and our defense is so much improved from last year.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Andrej the Giant!!

 

[Epsilon]

Nice half boys

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Andrej beats the buzzer for layup.

12 in half for him. 13 point lead at half

 

[JJE]

This team has an embarrassing amount of talent.

 

[PopChampaign]

This team is built for a DEEP tourney run.

 

[illiniharrison]

Sorry Jake. You coming off the bench bud

 

[DeeIL89]

We have so many guys that can make things happen if one is having an off night. We are deep.

 

[NarrowJ]

Before I say this,

I must apologize in advance….

Stojakovic is unplayable

 

[derrick6]

Stojakovic!!!

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Andrej is basically unplayable!

 

[SuperMetroid]

NO LAST MINUTE RUN!

What if it’s us though?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Where’s the guy who posted in the last game thread that Stojakovic is unplayable?

 

[IlliniNLouKY]

Andrej!

Great scoring by a guy whos’s not playable right now!

 

[FoundersClub]

I hate to oversell, but this is the look of a team that can be good-good at full strength.

No star per se, but just strong top to bottom.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Before I say this,

I must apologize in advance….

Stojakovic is unplayable

Beat me to it

 

[Epsilon]

Our D…

It makes our games so much easier to watch. Night and day.

 

[Ryllini]

IllinoisLoyalty we have a squad. Let’s see what kind of killer instinct they have.

 

[DeeIL89]

Andrej is good at driving to the rim.

 

[FromTheLogo]

can’t remember the last time I saw a team travel 5 times in a game, let alone a half.

Well, 5 travel calls. More like 10 travels

 

[BT262]

Wow! This team is good, and will only get better!!

 

[Idea Gardener]

I appreciate the Humrichous rebounds

 

[derrick6]

Please more of this in the second half!

Andrej! What a freakin final minute from everyone to close out the half. Huge huge job stretching this lead to double digits. Texas Tech will have a push these first 4 minutes coming out of half. If we can not only weather it but put down the accelerator we might break them. They clearly are having major issues with our size and skill
