Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas Tech

How in the world did that go in?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

FINALLY A DOUBLE.

Stoj is awesome!

 

[CDRUSN]

So far this second half we haven't been stoppin' Toppin from hoppin'. We need to prevent him from getting the ball where he wants it down low, or hope he wears down, as he is expending a ton of energy to get his team back in this.

 

[FoundersClub]

Andrej is a walking bucket

 

[Epsilon]

Mirk’s actually gotten away with that a couple times too.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Holy moly Andrej!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

When in doubt give it to Andrej.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

What a shot by Andrej for another And 1 opportunity!

 

[FloridaMan]

Doubled toppin Turnover!

 

[McGuppin]

So a double team leads to a turnover and an And 1....huh...

 

[illiniguy24]

They can't keep shooting 86% for the half. Can they?

They can if they are all 6 footers and dunks

 

[JKR]

87% shooting this half.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

How is that not the same travel Mirkovec got called for?

 

[madillini4]

Phantom foul

 

[PopChampaign]

Heavyweight bout.

 

[FloridaMan]

Missed travel in toppin

 

[FoundersClub]

I wonder if we’ve considered…making him go right

 

[Epsilon]

You gotta be kidding me. Foul was way before motion.

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

He travels every play

 

[The pop of Champaign]

He travels every time he gets the ball

 

[illinifreak30]

TRAVEL

 

[Flyin' Illini]

How many steps does Toppin get before he has to put the ball on the floor?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Toppin just did the exact same travel that Mirk did. 2nd time in a row

 

[blueguy]

Our defense stayed in the locker room at half

 

[Epsilon]

Wrong basket Big Z

Edit: okay got a redo lol
