Game Thread: Illinois vs Valparaiso

[Illiniam1984]

I hope that we figure out the slow starts though. Somethings got to change there.

 

[JSpence]

I should not be anything like excited about a 16-pt lead over Valpo, but some part of me is. Yikes, a bit.

Ok now we are starting to pull away. Don’t know what happened in the 1st half.

Shannon and Ty sat for more than 10 minutes each with foul trouble.

 

[JSpence]

Maryland has 15 at half.. yikes. Also Michigan lost to Long Beach state almost gave up 100 to them..

15 what? POINTS?!?!

Edit: Christ on a cracker, yes. 15-39 at Nova

 

[pruman91]

We have outscored them 39-14 this half , so far.......

TSJ is getting beat up and not drawing fouls.. not understand how they are officiating this game.

Free nuggets whenever Dain makes a free throw.

Chickens rejoice across the land!

We played defense and they stopped making shots. Also Goode

 

[Mr. Roberts]

15 what? POINTS?!?!

Down 46-15 to Villanova - 16:51 left in game.

15 what? POINTS?!?!

And now over 3 minutes into the second half. Getting tripled up by a team that lost to Penn

It is still possible the Illini may end up better from the arc than the line. Only three balls should come from Domask, Shannon, and Goode and it may happen. What is befuddling is how good DD is when moving and able to use the glass.

But how?? I have no idea. But just happy.

 

[vikings001]

Luke started 4-6 from 3 and 1-3 from FT. Like how. Ty is 2-2 from the line.

Imagine if we covered…

 

[JSpence]

We’re playing terribly. it’s not just us though Maryland, Wisconsin, arkansas, Michigan just lost to 1-2 Long Beach state… DePaul might be the worst p6 team ever how far they’ve fallen, Vanderbilt, ok state, ND, LSU a lot of !!!!!! p6 teams. Is the talent level closer from the bottom to the top? Or is it just college basketball doing weird things.

Arkansas still not climbing out fast enough.

Was Juwan back tonight?

 

[CDRUSN]

Dain's been watching Shaq's instructional video on "How to shoot free throws with confidence and accuracy like I do."

 

[New Creation]

Luke started 4-6 from 3 and 1-3 from FT. Like how. Ty is 2-2 from the line.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Goode for some reason is shooting FTs too quickly resulting in movement all over the place which negates any consistency.

 

[pruman91]

But how?? I have no idea. But just happy.

We started playing defense........

 

[LoveLovie]

Great passing on that sequence

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Brad used our depth as a weapon tonight. Valpo gassed.
