Game Thread: Illinois vs Virginia

[Chad Fleck]

Bummer that Dain missed that baby hook, as it was a really good look. But excellent effort after the fact.

There should be 15 seconds on the shot clock. It only resets to 20 if the shooting team gets it back.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

What is happening right now?

 

[SuperMetroid]

What is the delay here exactly?

 

[Battle89]

I could buy the argument that Virginia is fundamentally sound enough to beat it.

Our press is not so much about turnovers but more about delaying the other team from starting their offense. Virginia does that just fine themselves.

Having said that I wouldn’t mind the change of pace with a press.

Dain's jump hook hit the rim. What are we looking at?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Whatever this is shouldn't take this long. It ruins the game. If it's not immediately clear, move the heck on.

 

[DeonThomas]

I feel like there is zero chance we win this game

If you're in Vegas right now ---- hand your wallet to a friend. You're in great jeopardy of losing your %#&.

Both teams with 11 TO's and all statistics are close except FT's 24 to 9. We have the low number

Well, it's fairly common to have terrible instincts in probability, so don't feel bad.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Darn... Missed the open 3

 

[Mr. Roberts]

TSJ ice cold.

Plan on losing and pull like heck for the Illini.....they will feel the vibes and you won't be disappointed.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

If there was a must score possession, this is it.

 

[Chillinini]

Have to get Dainja touches. Too many heaves from three.

 

[Scoregasm]

I think that make by Beekman is game....

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We needed more from Terrance today. He was exceptional Friday, but when he 1-5 from 3 and 4-10 from the field and held under 10 points it makes it hard to beat top 20 teams.

 

[Jimbo]

This whole game has been played at their tempo.

 

[Chad Fleck]

TSJ used them up yesterday, it appears.

 

[ChiefGritty]

That was a heck of a bucket. Don't think for a second there's not talent at UVA

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That’s our shot out of a TO?

 

[BDMAN]

just seems like Brad has been out strategized this game that is really sour grapes as we have not executed well

 

[SuperMetroid]

Sick of that pornstache dude

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

That is 1000% a hook-and-hold.

 

[illiniguy24]

This is gonna be a tough L to swallow

 

[eas23]

Epps never let go of the ball?
