Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[SuperMetroid]

High level game here. We need Z’s rim protection

 

[TheodoreRex]

Ya- if Tomi ain't ready to play darn near 100%-this ain't the game to play him.

 

[foby]

This ain’t the game to be working back in …

Can't disagree.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Pretty obvious that their offense can score consistently against the Illini defense. The oppostie?...Not so much. It will likely be a uphill battle all day...but hope springs eternal.

 

[chibar]

Already too much Ben. Evergreen statement

 

[TheodoreRex]

GIVE ME A BREAK! Ben just got absolutely clobbered

 

[hiberto]

can't keep trading baskets, can we please get some stops??

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Z with the first legitimate defensive play of the game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Danger, Will Robinson!

 

[Tyrone HoggLegg]

Maybe we can stick within 10 all game, so it doesn't look so bad. No defense at all.

 

[FoundersClub]

They’re going to put Ben in a pick and role every time down

 

[Illinisnake]

We just don’t care about possessions at all. We look horrible

 

[CleverHandle1]

This may get ugly early. Connect is clearly the better team.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Already down 7, and I’m not holding hope it gets much closer than this…

 

[CleverHandle1]

Same old crap..

 

[Clngpl94]

The national media is insufferable...

 

[TheChief4Life]

“Contact”?

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Gonna get embarrassed on national TV again.

 

[BrownTown]

This feels like it could get out of hand quick.

 

[risingfalcon98]

GGs

 

[Scoregasm]

We play like !!! way too often in big non con games.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Athletic teams are clearly going to give us fits. We are just too slow on both ends of the court.

 

[New Creation]

Oh boy… no bueno… game over already. Brad just can’t compete with better coaches.

 

[CleverHandle1]

They are in over their heads right now. Again, this can get ugly early.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

That was a Horsh** call.
