Game Thread: Illinois vs VCU

[joeybcrazy13]

About time to start planning a bank robbery....ILL... Happy Days!!!

 

[Ramrod2010]

Calling Keaton's sister his mom... Disrespectful.

 

[skyIdub]

No...they aren't calling that unless it's egregious showboating because of safe landings.

 

[Fighting I 95]

LOL. So glad Tomi didn't get called for hanging on the rim. That would have been warranted.

Thats for RJ!

Still mad about it

Ben has not scored....but he has 3 boards, 3 assts., and 2 steals with only one foul. Pretty strong night.

 

[Illinited]

Andrej was the key tonight! Nice to see him being agressive and earning his money!

Melendez flash back

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

100% expected a tech on that Tomi dunk

It was no joke 3x longer than RJs...

 

[Illinisnake]

Does anyone else agree that Bill Raftery provides better insight than Dickie V does with both being in their 80s? I am amazed at the level of great commentary he provides in general. Always enjoy hearing his color commentary.

Raftery has been and always will be better than Dickie V. And this is coming from someone who loves Dickie V. Rafterys calls are way better.

Damn, Keaton looks just like his mom. Especially the hair.

That’s his sister, his mom was on the dad’s right side with straight hair.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Really proud of this team right now. Great defense and selfless offense.

 

[FromTheLogo]

No double digit lead given up this time boys!!!!

Put that to bed.

 

[illinibbcz]

Big games by Tomi and Andre tonight

 

[Mr. Roberts]

 

[Aldy1955]

wtf guys????

Yah really Huck Fouston

 

[SprintingShellyClark]

Hanging on the rim against VCU…fine
Hanging on the rim against Houston…technical. We know this.

 

[abchew2]

20 pt. lead with 5.5 to go....why am I not feeling relieved?

Years and years of disappointment and nut punches

 

[spillini]

Raf is the best in the business. People love Hummel too much. He may be #2, but it doesn’t say much since there aren’t many good analysts to choose from.

Vitale has also been awful for the whole time

 

[AnnaMay]

No...they aren't calling that unless it's egregious showboating because of safe landings.

Tell RJ that

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

I don't want this game to end. I'm having too much fun.

 

[fantasydaily708]

Sweet Sixteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Constipation.

 

[Rhj1956]

Are they really saying saying VCU is getting an unfair whistle...

As they should. Illinois has gotten all the calls.

 

[Iamgroot]

Ended at -12.5 I believe. No clue what it opened as.

Thanks was just curious normally I look it up before the game just didn't get a chance to today

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Man when you really watch Keaton’s command of the ball with both hands in tight space it’s pretty awesome
