Game Thread: Illinois vs Washington

[BoiseBaller]

They are playing harder than we are.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Bad game so far from Tomi. They put two on the ball, wide open shot. Have to make those.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Not smart defense from Davis. He needs to at least give Z a chance to make the block.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Yep...for sure he has no brain and is a pure puppet.

 

[CHILI1992]

Can lee get some tick?

 

[wettsten]

how big is steinbach's wingspan?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Thankfully Jake did not hit him in the face on that

Announcer said W cant cut below 5 but Illini cant seem to stretch above 9

 

[DeeIL89]

Tomi's missing lots of those top of the key open threes tonight.

 

[azillini1]

Rebounds even at 25 each

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Abysmal from three tonight.

 

[BoiseBaller]

I'm not sure we've contested anything that mandolin or mandrake or whatever his name is has shot.

 

[tcb13]

Wagler is a dude

 

[jumpingjack]

And Ben makes the hustle play

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Keaton man.... my goodness.

 

[illiniguy24]

That's fair, but you wouldn't want a few switch ups to make them adjust? When we did it totally threw them. Also, what does the WU shot chart look like? They are killing us at points in the paint and are hanging with us with rebounding. Make them shoot threes, which they are struggling at.

They’ve made a lot of mid range shots tonight. You live with those. And don’t move the goal post talking about rebounding lol

 

[FloridaMan]

Good defensive possession leads to a 9 point lead!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Keaton! Beautiful!

 

[BBlock24]

It’s the Wagler and Mirk show

 

[foby]

how big is steinbach's wingspan?

13'7"

 

[biglug58]

Keaton just so much stronger than he looks.

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

For the uniform junkies on the board, what’s your take on the Husky uniforms? They look like they forgot to change out of their practice unis to me.

 

[DeeIL89]

Cool and collected from Keaton.

 

[CentralILLini]

Noticed that. Dude swallows up everything around him.

Pause.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Nobody will remember it but huge offensive rebound by Tomi that sets up and easy 2 after brutal stretch by us
