Game Thread: Illinois vs The Citadel

[Hopingfor500]

Feliz....Best rebounding guard in the nation?

No.

Citadel was begging to be run out of the gym. Now we have to hope they don't get hot and make this a game.
What I would give to have a shooter or several on this squad.

This game is not going to end well for The Citadel. No need to worry.

Should be 54-20.....too much subbing...play the starters and I really hope we come out with some fire to start the second half...if we continue this lethargic effort then watch out if their 3's start falling....we need to take the ball up stronger and flush some down and put this game away in the first 5-10 mins of the 2nd half...
I'm really trying to not drink when we play but this has me on the ledgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!

That’s a double-double now right?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I wish we’d adopt the throwbacks as our permanent jerseys OR reserve them for big games...

 

[LoveLovie]

That fake 3 quick pass G.B does is a nice asset to his game

I just want to see some fluid offense and made shots. Somebody tell Santa for me.

1st 3 of the night for us.

1 of 10 so far.

 

[whatahack]

Man TF has a smooth stroke...

 

[Truffaut]

A double double double for GB & Kofi?

This board is especially hilarious tonight. We’re up 20 despite 1-10 three point shooting. We are completely in control and will win by 30.

Not saying everything is cured, but man, tough crowd.

Bardo is the best.

I know Kipper was probably born in 1998 but I could have sworn I heard him say "Scottie!" right before that bank

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I can’t wait for BBV to develop. But that was two of the worst defensive minutes you will ever see.

I think everyone is judging what we are seeing tonight knowing our expectations have been raised and competition will be significantly tougher soon. As far as what I’m seeing tonight, this ain’t gonna get us where we want.

FLOP!

Two more marshmallow teams after this game until we play the big boys (Miami, Maryland, and Michigan) and then see how good we are!

I hear you. But what I’ve seen is a practice game for Kofi to work on his game, and plenty of minutes for BBV and Damonte (who didn’t play in the second half on Monday).

Just seems like we’re working on stuff.

That said, GUARD A THREE!!!

 

[BlueLeader]

These long !!! shots by them make for ridiculous rebounding sequences. It's not like we're out of position down low.

True story, until then enjoy your s'mores

If DW had any game offensively you could not keep him off the court

 

[uh_lion_eye]

We can’t make a shot. Ayo is really struggling. Here is my old man saying. Use the backboard!

Right there my man! ILL

 

[Miles Leonard]

Now we're really imposing our will :clappy:
