[so illini]

Domask!!

 

[FoundersClub]

35 piece from Marcus and we can hang.

Very impressive response.

 

[madillini4]

Whole team needs to be better

Yes but we need our senior Swiss Army knife to be a leader and make smart plays

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

MD keeping our head above water.

 

[abchew2]

Domask legacy game locked and loaded!

 

[NarrowJ]

Everyone still think we gonna lose by 100?

 

[illiniguy24]

Clingan is the X factor tonight. We have to keep him off the floor

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

13-4 good guys since the 16 minute mark (and since Clingan sat)

 

[sacraig]

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

Reminds me of Purdue in that they're very beatable without Clingan in the floor just like Purdue without Edey.

 

[curtmoss]

Refs need to stop the moving screens!

 

[Deep]

We ok

 

[Chad Fleck]

If Domask is feeling it from 3, I like our chances.

 

[hoopsfan47]

We got hit hard on the chin....and then we hit them right on their chin. They seem to be wondering around cause that was not supposed to happen to them.

Keep on playing guys....and make your !!!!ing free throws!!!

 

[WyattEarp]

Nice 3 Domask.
(Sure looked liked you lost sight of the ball on D the play b4 tho dude.)

 

[Illini1429]

All things considered, I'm loving our defense against a very tough offensive Connecticut team.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Right back in this thing, but can we keep it up with the big guy in there? Need Dainja to step up here.

 

[skyIdub]

So we're more like the quiet guy in the bar that dudes keep f'ing with until he's mad....and they find out he's a former Navy Seal?

 

[Illini8420]

That’s right they threw a good first punch and we hit them hard right back!

 

[BDMAN]

Got the jitters out now we are hooping!!!

 

[TentakilRex]

After all of that being down 2 points right now to Shao UConn ain't bad...

 

[longtimefan]

that basket was a problem for both iowa state and illinois in thursday's game. is it set properly?

 

[blife]

They now know they can beat U Conn, TSJ has to start getting more touches. LFG

 

[ChiefKingfisher]

If we can get Clingan in foul trouble, we have a chance.

 

[genxrex]

We will NOT be rattled

They f'd around. Now they are going to find out.
