Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

[ChiTown]

Time for Andrej to return.

The offense looks so stagnant right now.

 

[Bigtex]

Horrible 5 guys on the Court right there

 

[Iamgroot]

Put stoj back in besides adding offense he may have played better defense in the first half

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Need a hoop here, badly.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Our defense is getting picked apart a bit. That's going to be the soft underbelly of our group. We all kind of knew this coming into the season. Athletic teams are going to be a real challenge for us.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Finish Mirk!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wagler doing a great job battling on the boards

 

[LuckyIllini]

Force Toppin to his right hand??

 

[PopChampaign]

If we don’t contain Toppin they’ll make their way back. They’re playing much better defense. We need a timeout.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Kylan needs to grab that ball.

 

[FloridaMan]

Where is Z????

 

[CentralILLini]

Toppin may beat us on his own

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

We just don't double.

 

[sacraig]

So... 2nd half strategy to just let Toppin run to the basket?

 

[xcatcher]

Need Big Z in there on D

 

[PopChampaign]

Well… things are about to get interesting. They’ve figured something out.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Im not sure what we said at half, but stop it

 

[Epsilon]

What the heck happened during halftime?

 

[NarrowJ]

TT is 9-9 this half

Edit: 10-10

 

[SuperMetroid]

9/9 so far this half. Not ideal

 

[McGuppin]

Time to make Toppin earn his points at the line. Seriously.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We're helping Tech by forcing some shots. Gotta play within ourselves on that end

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

He's gonna have 50.

 

[BBlock24]

At some point TT has to miss, right?

 

[Illini88]

Toppin is a beast
