Game Thread: Illinois vs Washington

[thefalcon5]

Refs keeping us in it.

Absolutely sleep walking. This is becoming a bad trend. Can’t let mediocre teams come into Champaign and out physical you.

Why is the rim making that super loud annoying noise after every miss? That has to be some tacky effect added in by FS1, right????

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Man Washington is bad.

We've been very blah so far. Lucky Washington can't hit the broad side of a barn so far

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Body language on this Washington team is truly awful. Need to go up by double digits before they start making shots

 

[PasadenaIllini]

For the love of g*d, please FOCUS at the freaking foul line fellas.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Lucky we are playing another horse-ish team. Horrendous start by our guys…

 

[NashvILLe05]

Thus far…

44% from 3
40% from FT line

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Despite the slow start there's no reason not to be up 38-25 at half. We went over 10 minutes with only points from freshman!

 

[zentrails]

Gotta hit ft

We're playing like crap, fortunately UW is crappier so far

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

From what?? They're 12 minutes into the game and with all of the turnovers and fouls, there's absolutely no pace. This is a kid that plays 37+ minutes per night. If he's tired, he needs to put the donuts down between games.

Are we watching the same game? Lol

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

come on gotta make these only 2 of 5 from the FT line

And two of them were front ends. Don't want to leave freebies our there.

 

[RML]

Wagler is tired

I think he's gonna need to get used to being hounded hard.

 

[madillini4]

would be nice if andrej could drive the offense a bit to give Keaton a breather, but unfortunately andrej is on Pluto.

I really don't think so. I think we're putting in a ton of effort, just an off night. Happens. Sometimes you gotta win ugly.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Weird game.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Jake. Another bad pass. Cmon dude…

 

[thehass]

Not our best thus far.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Rebounds about even but for once, we are winning the turnover battle while both teams have a cellophane cover on their hoop...especially UW.

 

[illinifan1987]

He tried to pull a "Wagler" on the man himself

 

[jamie13197]

I've had it. First team to 40 gets W.

 

[HailtotheChief]

I love U of I but after tonight i wish Somerville success being a Peoria Richwoods grad. U thought he wouldve been a good role player a few years ago if we had recruited him. In BU i TRUST. I wish Bradley could afford him.

 

[tcb13]

Danny Sprinkling in some swear words

 

[madillini4]

It’s not just that, he’s the only one creating anything on offense, whether he’s scoring or setting up others. Without Kylan he has to initiate everything.

 

[DeeIL89]

We are wasting some of these offensive possessions.
