Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[NASchamp]

Boy were we tight. But looking more comfortable now. Let’s go!!!

I don't remember where I saw/read it but I agree with whoever said this was gonna be like the Iowa game in the BTT for us.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

First to 100 wins.

 

[BDMAN]

well, I take that back no one playing D now but the offense is on point

 

[FloridaMan]

Really like when we play without thinking too much! Need to shore up the D (as usual) but good energy so far! Let's go!!!!!!

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Step back Jac

On offense, anyway.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Okay… wow… that was a FAST 6 minutes!

 

[Chad Fleck]

A few 3s have gone. That can be huge for this team to gain confidence.

 

[Bigtex]

Xavier doesn’t rebound great. Lets get 2nd shots

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Toni clearly going to be the difference tonight.

Knew that going in ... He's got to eat ...

Even if they put Hugley in ... Shouldn't be a problem ...

 

[New Creation]

All offensive and no defense. Thats a game we can win lol

 

[FoundersClub]

Toni clearly going to be the difference tonight.

As he goes (scores, distributes) we go.

KJ knocking down shots is the icing.

Have to like the energy to start.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Riley seems to be off to start. Really good start for Jakucionis. Gotta do a better job to get back on transition D.

 

[Epsilon]

LOVE our offensive gameplan so far ...CAN WE PLAY DEFENSE ????

And hustle back faster…

 

[foby]

So far so fun

Defense? We don't need no stinkin' defense

 

[fantasydaily708]

We would be up 7 if Will could make them chippys

 

[so illini]

Energy good. Just need our shots to go down. Feeling good right now.

 

[Illiniguy13]

Defense boys.

 

[HailtotheChief]

I live less than 10 minutes from the Pourhouse. Nice spot. Enjoy.

Kj...Cotton!

 

[PopChampaign]

If we can get stops we’re golden

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

I like our chances in a shootout tonight but man it would be nice if we could just freaking guard ...

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Now that we made a couple 3’s lane should open up. Rez gonna clean up some boards here!

 

[NASchamp]

Looks loud in there! Way to go Illini fans!

Need to get WR relaxed and going. His defensive has actually been decent. He’s missed a few near the basket though.

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

We came to play so far! The KJ 3 was cathartic for all of us.
