Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

Keaton struggling at the rim.

Offense has to run through KB. Get up 18 then bring in AS and crush these fools! We are the better team

 

[illiniguy24]

4 pt swing on the Wagler missed layup. Gotta have those in the tournament

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Wagler needs to finish. Stop waiting for whistles and put the ball in the basket.

 

[Illini88]

Wonder if anyone other than AS understands what a dunk is

 

[IceCuban]

Wagler looking like a kid out there, need one big play to get some confidence

 

[CleverHandle1]

Make your FTs, KB.

Good looks last two possessions, just didn't go in. That's fine. Keep taking it to the hoop.

 

[PopChampaign]

We’re so hard to beat when we play defense and force tough shots

 

[cs04]

KW got literally thrown out of the way by two different VCU players, no calls

 

[foby]

Jfc how many fouls in that possession!!!???

 

[SuperMetroid]

LOL like 7 fouls not called on that previous possession

think tomi, the guy who has a dunk in this game, does?

 

[Mistakenj]

He’s missing bunnies

Also getting assaulted and molested. So… there’s that.

 

[Jimbo]

I love our plan to take it to the rim. Finally Brad listened to me.

What is KW doing? He may need to sit and see the game for a few minutes. Man, we need him to be at his best.

Trying to draw a foul vs trying to score.

Hasn’t worked for going on two months now.

 

[CDRUSN]

Tomi playing to his strengths, but dribbling in traffic is not one of them. That's a TO waiting to happen. Overall though, love his game tonight.

5th game in 8 days for VCU. Hopefully they deal with fatigue.

And one of their starters is out..They are looking tired..

It’s kinda hard to get points when you get straightjacketed by the other team and can’t get calls.

Yep, I think they ran out of gas at the end of the 2nd
When that starts to happen in the 2nd, it's AS time once again

 

[From the cheap seats]

A made layup would do wonders…missing those are the equivalent of a turnover.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

KW got mugged on that drive. Not just a foul but potentially a hook and hold

 

[IceCuban]

They are playing defense at 110% speed too, hopefully they can't sustain much longer

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Shocked actually. Nobody on the board could agree, but ok......

Such quick conclusions. We didn’t even see another angle. CBS coverage has been so bad — including their halftime shows.

Based off Keaton’s reaction, I’d feel good about trusting him.

How many freaking Boozer Twins commercials must we watch?
