Will off to a slow start he’s usually automatic around the rim once he gets going we should be fine

 

[RDS]

Shake off the jitters WR. We need you

 

[blife]

Like the start but got to get back on D and slow them down.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

We got past the initial push and avoided getting down early! Huge for this team!

 

[illinimike]

That step back 3
Fun game so far!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

We are the better team, crash the boards and get good shots. Play a bit of defense and we win. Also, Freemont 100% set a moving screen, get him in foul trouble.

 

[DeeIL89]

So far so fun

Defense? We don't need no stinkin' defense

Hamer's defensive philosophy 101. Lol.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Not many guys on the floor interested in getting stops....on either team. At least we won't go zero for the game from the arc. X is playing the same game so if any of our guys want to lock in on defense, we may win. Ball movement and sharing is excellent!!!

 

[Jimbo]

BEn is due to make an appearance.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Crowd is LOUD! Love it!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL?!?!?!?

 

[FloridaMan]

Where's the foul there???? WTF??

 

[JJE]

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

100% I think that could be the difference tonight.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

KJ gets no calls. It's crazy.

 

[Illiniguy13]

No foul?

 

[punchabove33]

KJ is so aggressive in this game. I love it.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great cut

 

[so illini]

What a cut and dime

 

[Rusty]

calling it now KJ Triple Double

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Tre knows the bank is open. Heck of a move.

 

[PopChampaign]

They pissed KJ off want to see him go off!

 

[McGuppin]

KJ looks like....a lottery pick.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Lol. Can't do much with touch like that on a 3.

 

[GTL Adam]

Wow, Tre…
