Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

[Captain Bubbles]

JeQuan Lewis down for VCU. Hope it's not serious, but if it is...it will hurt VCU.

Lol, Finke passes up a wide open 3. Dribbles at Mav, losses the ball, TA drills a 3.

 

[schnaurt]

Abrams with his feet set is Money. That stroke is magical. Such a pretty shot.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Come on Mav. The ball goes THROUGH the hoop.

 

[westcoastillini]

Man needs to just shoot the ball

 

[NunnBetter]

Tate is doing his job. I'm ok with that.

 

[MadSeason]

Finke and JCL shoulda tried to finish on drives!

 

[schnaurt]

27-19 good guys

 

[Newman]

Finke is so freaking terrible on defense.. man

JeQuan Lewis down for VCU. Hope it's not serious, but if it is...it will hurt VCU.

Hope he is 100% for their next game.

 

[Sizzler22]

I think Finke is too good at delegating his duties

 

[MadSeason]

Finke is so freaking terrible on defense.. man

Yes and why Black has thankfully replaced him as starter

 

[zoggle101]

That depth wearing on VCU

 

[schnaurt]

29-21 with Hill at the line trying to complete the and 1

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I really don't like this lineup on the floor right now. Not enough firepower on either end of the floor.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Finke is so freaking terrible on defense.. man

Finke plays d like he perpetually has four fouls and is trying not to foul out.

 

[SuperMetroid]

29-21 Illini. 30 secs left our ball

 

[BillyBob1]

Started out with some forced threes by JCL, and the other guys decided to follow suit.

1 forced, other two wide open.

 

[kuhl84]

Mav has completely lost his confidence. Can't buy a basket

 

[zoggle101]

Tate bringing energy up top in that zone. TA with no legs left leaves Williams wide open for a17 footer that didn't go in.

 

[Newman]

Yes and why Black has thankfully replaced him as starter

As a lot of us expected with his return. Defense gets you on the floor and right now Black is better offensively as well. Imagine him as a senior.

 

[zoggle101]

1 forced, other two wide open.

Lol, the little things. He was buried in the corner on the second. Hard shooting around the backboard.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

Hill with a FT jumper before the buzzer! I'm happy with a 10 point lead going into halftime.

Hope the Illini have a strong second half and get the win.
