Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[WeWillWhen]

Lots of nervous energy.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Two athletic teams on the floor. Defensive looks good, just need to settle down offensively. Great sign that the 3 ball is falling early.

Loving the Illini on defense....can they do it for 40?

RJ needs to calm down

 

[Loyalillini10]

RJ: please take care of the ball.

Lots of nervous energy.

Thanks for noticing.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Two outstanding defenses. This is gonna be fun, if a little sloppy.

Turnovers hurting us;
Threes saving us…

that whistle come before contact?

Courtney Green is so good he can see into the future of the game!

 

[Epsilon]

Lots of nervous energy.

Anticipation foul...

 

[Chad Fleck]

that whistle come before contact?

Thought maybe it was my stream lagging. Seemed quite anticipatory.

Good: We very much look like we belong.

Bad: Mayer is a turnstile. Not sure what him getting here late has to do with that. He's played basketball before.

This is a game I predicted Matt won't be impacted by the nervous energy.

 

[hoopsfan47]

5 min. and 5 turnovers.....must to better to win.

 

[sacraig]

Well I'm confident we can run with anyone in the country at this point.

The question is whether we can clean it up enough to score more than they do.

 

[FloridaMan]

Gotta tighten up the handles!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Campbell's hair is gross.

 

[Rich]

we need to stop attempting careless mid air passes

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Too many empty possessions so far.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Mayer bringing it today

 

[Epsilon]

Is Mayer going to save our bacon tonight?

 

[FloridaMan]

No foul there?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

That's the MM I know and love. Glad to have you back.

Rodgers is looking a little rough
