Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[chrisRunner7]

Hideous offensive half. Solid defensive half. They had no clue we could d-up this well and it's freaking them out. Play even semi-competent offensely and we can win this.

Nobody predicted this kind of half... part of that is the refs not calling any fouls

 

[Chad Fleck]

Dain with a nice strip. It would be great to get a score here.

 

[logjam]

Odd score...with the top 2 Offenses in the country playing...

 

[Dragons89]

Shannon needs to wake up

He’s not hardly getting touches. Guerrier had him wide open on the last drive and forced it instead.

 

[Jersten]

MAKE.
A.
LAYUP.

I know everyone on here loves Van Gundy but he's awful to me and Bonner is worse than awful

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Rodgers or Dainja on the court let Clingan drop back and it’s really messing up the ability to drive.

 

[FromTheLogo]

They have a foul to give.

 

[SprintingShellyClark]

The D has been solid. Keep that up.

We will score!

 

[Grange Grover]

Let’s go fellas!!! We’re 20 minutes away from a final 4 berth and it’s there for the taking!!

 

[sacraig]

Both teams are going to go into halftime thinking they're in good position given how poorly they've played in the first half.

 

[WyattEarp]

Need more ball movement in HC

 

[PasadenaIllini]

We have played terrific defense. Particularly LOVE the rebounds and D from Luke Goode. Two months ago, I couldn't fathom typing those words in the middle of a game against UCONN.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Van Gundy is right. We have to adjust. Domask do his thing, TSJ in transustion and Goode, quincy, Hawk gotta hit 3s.

Dang TSJ you have 3 seconds.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

How is that not a foul!!!!!?

 

[FoundersClub]

Why didn’t TSJ come down with that?

 

[BBlock24]

Man, TJ had time to catch that and then go up.

 

[InDaAZ]

Clingan isn’t fouling. He’s 7’2”. All he has to do is stand there. Credit to him, he’s played great defense…

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Shannon was getting mugged on that play. Come on.

 

[New Creation]

refs have decided they don't want us to win the game

 

[TheChief4Life]

 

[NarrowJ]

Even on that last play TJ got pushed as he took the shot

Horrendous

 

[Doogie94]

2 hand push on shannon to end the half.
bs

 

[skyIdub]

Everyone that paid to see the two best offenses in CBB:

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Why didn’t TSJ come down with that?

Because I think he got bumped and put the shot up. Guys are getting mauled.
