Game Thread: Illinois vs Valencia

[battle]

2600 people watching a fuzzy, no audio feed of an exhibition game in August, that was announced with little fanfare a few hours ago and is taking place in the middle of the workday... feeling pretty proud to be part of this fanbase

well it was a workday ... beautiful pass by Goode and a missed layup

 

[3 point girl]

We should be winning by 30. Same old song & dance-missed layups, free throws, & 3 pointers. If we have a shooting coach they should be delegated to video room.

 

[NarrowJ]

Sincere really got up on that dunk, wow.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

Sencire activating his trampoline shoes on that slam!

 

[FlotownIllini]

Nice 8-0 run to extend the lead back out to 13!

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

CoHawk the facilitator

 

[urbanite]

Nice assist by Guerrier (I think?) on the Shannon three.

 

[eas23]

Shannon looks bored dominating the game.

 

[NarrowJ]

I missed the last 2 possessions. Did we just hit a couple 3s?

 

[New Creation]

Shannon is a beast.. good back to back to back play sequence for him there. 3 point shot looking good today

 

[ChiTown]

I like this lineup.Fast paced.

 

[chudaman]

CoHawk the facilitator

nice back to back 3s by TSJ!

 

[AttentionDeficit]

Hope we get that Sencire dunk from another angle.

TSJ is 100% already an NBA player that we are sooo lucky to have for another year. Wow. If he can play aggressive for whole games this year, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be right up there with Edey for B1G and National POY

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Sincere really got up on that dunk, wow.

He's gained at least 6" in vertical from last year. Crazy hops

TSJ

 

[urbanite]

That was a really good find from Hawkins for the oop.

 

[chudaman]

CoHawk the facilitator

he can facilitate but he also needs to make the outlet pass as Illini are missing fast break opportunities when cohawk rebounds and brings it up himself

 

[AttentionDeficit]

Have we now completed more lobs for dunks in this game than in our last season?

 

[Captain Bubbles]

Double digit lead at half. Me likey.

 

[BillyBob1]

Overloading the system?

It’s back

 

[IlliniFandom]

3 point shooting is atrocious!! non-existent you could say

 

[FlotownIllini]

Up by 17 at half...mixture of good and bad to be seen...pretty much exactly what I would have expected from this game. Fun to be able to watch this, though!

 

[adogster]

Made more than last game

 

[mg93]

Sencire is gonna be putting some guys on posters this year. He had that ball so high up with his offhand. Sheesh.
