Game Thread: Illinois vs Valparaiso

[BillyBob1]

He had a heating pad on his knee during the Oakland game.

Even without Cohawk, Valpo is still in dainja. Grave dainja.

DGL has to open as the heavy favorite. There are just gonna be a lot of folks who don't like the cut of his jib and the same ones who are constantly bleating about how we need a point guard will try to run him out of town without a hint of self-awareness.

It has to be someone at whom couch potatoes who have never themselves achieved anything remotely resembling excellence can deploy the term “BBIQ” surrounded by poor grammar.

Blue uniforms at home I am confused

I know this is a controversial take around here but…I love our navy jerseys.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Blue at home?

Name, uh, doesn't

Why did TSJ come out?

Why did TSJ come out?

He had a hitch in his giddy-up…
Hope he’s OK.

 

[New Creation]

Back to have two fouls on DD again

 

[foby]

Anyone who is more than a casual fan can feel the absence of CoHawk. He does a lot of things that some take for granted.

 

[NarrowJ]

LOL hitch in his giddy-up... hopefully just a cramp

 

[grantlab]

How many pathetic starts is it going to take…

 

[LoveLovie]

Domask getting destroyed. Come on!

 

[Illini John]

I wish we had a point guard.

 

[Illini8420]

Lack of ball control is going to haunt us all year.

 

[BRucks]

We've seen this movie before.

 

[New Creation]

These slow starts have gotten really old. Whatever they are doing in the locker rooms pre-game has got tot change.

 

[grantlab]

Massively concerning that in 3 of our first 4 games, we’ve let Eastern Illinois, Oakland and Valparaiso come out and take early 8-9 point leads in games we should be dominant from the get-go

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

I wish we had a point guard.

Our starting PG is checking back in now.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

That may be the worst 45 seconds of Illinois basketball ever.

 

[FloridaMan]

I believe our issues go way deeper than a point guard.

For what...?
