Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[Illinifan533]

And with that we have somehow outscored Uconn so far in this half, what a miracle

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Under 8 mins left.....Fake Rally Time?

On behalf of all of us who took Illini +10.5 at half… yes, please

Same thing from last season no defense and shoot 3 pointers if the 3 pointers are not falling Illinois gets blown out by teams with good offenses

 

[FoundersClub]

Boswell.
Respect.

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Thinking back to the '05 Arizona game.

 

[Iamgroot]

Man this game would be duke level bad if we didn't have Boswell fr

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

It’s amazing what happens when we stop chucking super deep 3s

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's crazy, 19minutes of game time where no Illini has made a field goal except Boz! And yet we're only down 10. Heck of a run.

 

[CDRUSN]

A Tomi sighting!

 

[Juju]

Don't know why I was expecting at least a respectable showing, especially defensively. We gave up 73 points to a team whose acronym sounds like the noises one makes when taking a brutal (UTRGV), plus you just KNOW the boys partied hard last night(Thanksgiving in NYC), sooo not sure why I had my hopes up...

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Who knew Jake Davis would be the spark plug this lineup needed /s

 

[SuperMetroid]

A post move!!

 

[azillini1]

An Isivic scores in the paint!!!!!

 

[FloridaMan]

It kills me how off the deep end we go. Some of the arm chair stuff kills me how everything is falling apart. It's not. These guys will come together and make shots. UCONN isn't keeping them from getting good looks. Shot falling changes everything .

Again, Hurley with a FANTASTICALLY timed TO. Guarantee this dude has a perfect play drawn up...

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Damn, I can be a bad fan, but this is classic Illini fandom on display here..

 

[ChiefIlliniWekDance]

Can we put an end to the Wagler is a 1 and done talk

 

[CleverHandle1]

Maybe we need to evaluate our offense ? Maybe a new OC ?

Oh wait … We can’t …

The last 2 years … Live and die by the 3 … Against good comp, we show no signs of life and no sign of adjustment …

Both twins should be posting up a ton, and then hit an occasional three-pointer. Tomas just posted up a behemoth and scored on a beautiful baby hook.

 

[NarrowJ]

This is the point where you look at the shooting percentages and if they’re even we are ahead

Come on LFG

 

[UCantHideYer]

11 point run. 19 to go and vengeance is ours !

 

[Illini1429]

Not so fast folks, we are showing some fight!!!!

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Jake has to hit those.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Not a good shot, Jake, but if you take it you need to make it

 

[TheodoreRex]

Another fake rally (5-25 from 3... 20%)

 

[Jimbo]

Davis with a terrible decision on offense.
