Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Illinois

[Rusty]

To me Hummel is in a class by himself among BIG color announcers, and will probably go national in a year or so.
After him, I give Weber the nod over Bardo. Can’t put my finger on the exact reason,

I think Hummel and Bilas are the best in the biz.

Robbie Hummel is raising his profile in college basketball analysis.

The 34-year-old Purdue alumnus and Indiana All-Star from Valparaiso is joining NBC and Fox, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.

Making that move and leaving ESPN allows Hummel to remain aligned with the Big Ten. He is expected to announce games on NBC's weekend coverage and FS1 midweek games. He will remain with Big Ten Network.

Listening on radio, but how does TSJ have only 9 against this team?

He's taken 3 shots and made all 3 of them. Just deferring to teammates.

Not really looking for his thus far.

Hasn't been driving, all 9 from the three ball

Justin has some fast hands but his on ball in help defense really needs to improve. Just a step behind and almost constantly playing recovery defense. I really need to see more out of him than what he's giving right now

2 fouls in 1st 1/2 and just letting the game flow, not forcing because he doesn't have to.
12 now
15

TSJ is unstoppable when he shoots this well. I love it.

He's been getting more active this 2nd half. First half he took more of a backseat as Ty ran the offense and he also picked up 2 fouls.

 

[Sedino]

Domask is not the shooter we hoped he would be. Let’s hope he’s just in a funk cause he misses so many wide open 3s

 

[dwpittman]

Wish Marcus would see a few go in.

 

[grantlab]

Leaving a lot to be desired in the defensive glass in the 2nd half. Come on guys

 

[New Creation]

TSJ has claimed this to be his team. Leading by example. Glad to see we have a clear cut team leader.

Yeah, he's really been struggling with his shot thus far. He'll shoot his way out of it if his past performance is any indicator

 

[Rusty]

I think it has been Shannon on Dent Jr. when he's been in and Dent has 15 but it's on 18 shots. 5-18

 

[PNWIllini]

Holy crap Dain

 

[Rusty]

Dain!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Dain went beast mode there

 

[CDRUSN]

Going forward starting against Rutgers, I would like to see Goode start in place of Domask. I think he has earned it, and gives us more scoring and rebounding, with pretty good defense.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great seal by Dain to give DGL the free path to the basket. Good past couple minutes for him

 

[Wooderson]

Weber is a beating

 

[Rusty]

Dain went beast mode there

I actually loved the pass too.

 

[WWWWRocU]

Dainja is just freaking dominant!!

 

[LoveLovie]

Guerrier with 10 rebounds. Dain almost at 10
