Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[ChiTown]

The free throw bugaboo is rearing it’s ugly head again.

 

[Doogie94]

Down 9-0 just like Morehead State. Got em right where we want em!

 

[madillini4]

Defense is just letting them get to the lane

 

[CDRUSN]

Gotta take advantage every time their giant is on the bench.

 

[BashCtIllini]

WTF is Hawkins doing?

 

[JimILL75]

Typical start for us, we have them right where we want them.

 

[hiberto]

need to score some here with clingan out

 

[NarrowJ]

Get their *****ing coach off our floor while we're on offense!!! WTF

 

[WyattEarp]

This needs to be a Guerrier game.

 

[Champaign88]

Refs literally swallowed their whistle on more contact on TSJ’s first drive.

 

[FloridaMan]

No way that's a foul on TJ

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

It’s a ballgame when Clingan is out. Need to get fouls on him at every opportunity.

 

[madillini4]

Hawkins needs to be better

 

[spillini]

That was at minimum on the floor

 

[Miles Leonard]

Hawkins needs to be better

Whole team needs to be better

 

[FoundersClub]

Different team without Clingan. We need to get him in foul trouble

 

[FloridaMan]

Took the punch, now settle in boys!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I think the board really needs to calm it down with Ty. He has 1 turnover, 1 missed bucket, 2 missed FTs and drew a foul on Clingan. Not a good start aside for drawing the foul, but it's not like anyone else on the floor was doing anything offensively either. In fact, up to that point, it's arguable him drawing the foul on Clinton was our best offensive play

 

[Iamgroot]

Gurrire what you thinking fr

 

[hiberto]

doctor domask locked in!

 

[FloridaMan]

They got no answer for MD so far!

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Got us a ball game!!!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

They popped us in the face. We took it. Now they have to deal with the fact that we don't freaking quit and we keep scoring.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Here we go!

Goode really good minutes so far.

 

[grantlab]

OK! Aaaaaand we’re back!
