Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas

[Godard]

Illini will be down by 20 soon enough. Poor showing by entire team.

I think we loose narrowly when Meyer is awarded his 5th offensive foul during crunch time for shaving off his mullet.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Harris gives a lift to the whole team. They have to play at his level or look bad

 

[Illini8420]

I’m convinced Hawkins is trying to show his skills for the NBA scouts tonight and that’s why he’s making all these terrible decisions

 

[HailtotheChief]

Really Hawk? Pass up good looks n chuck that? At least ya took it. Be aggressive man.

 

[LJ22]

I’m keeping receipts on all of you doom-sayers when we come back in this game.

It's not "doom" to say that wow, if we cleaned up silly turnovers and hit FREE throws, we'd be better.

 

[HailtotheChief]

He's off tonight, on top of that the defensive gameplan probably revolved around him, I agree though, step up, he transferred here, Id like to see RJ and Hawk step up

There is time left to redeem himself.

 

[ThetaDragons]

NBA 3's huh?

Nope.

 

[Illini_Jack]

We need a spark. Gotta turn this around asap

 

[Illini8420]

Wow Harris

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Harris is all over the floor right now.

 

[jumpingjack]

There we go

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Sencire effing Harris

 

[Godard]

WOW!!!

 

[skyIdub]

Inject Sencire Harris directly into my femoral artery.

“No fight in this team”
“This is horrific”
Bagging on the freshmen

These are the comments I was referring to.

 

[hiberto]

is anyone going to attempt to offensive rebound?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Dainja leaned into that screen, got away with one.

 

[LJ22]

"No offensive rebounding down low" seems to be a theme this year.

 

[KingWolf11]

If they lose another 50/50 ball Brad might combust

 

[RML]

Score here we got a shot

 

[jumpingjack]

ELITE. DEFENSE. This team is capable of so much when they are putting the effort in on defense.

To be fair, we do have stretches of horrific.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Well well well

 

[azillini1]

Texas giving us opportunities if we can capitalize.
