Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[aaeismacgychel]

Refs do not care about steps, lol. 3 blatant travels by Xavier thus far

 

[Epsilon]

Lucky bounce

 

[Illini88]

Rims kind to Xavier

 

[JJE]

I love the offensive game-plan so far. Drive when it’s there or dish it out for an open 3. It’s working beautiful tonight.

 

[thehass]

Take it to the paint!!

 

[foby]

OMG their freaky bounces

 

[Chad Fleck]

Alright. 2 lucky bounces on 3s for X. That's enough.

 

[PopChampaign]

Get HumBrickous out

 

[fantasydaily708]

Get Ben H out the damn game now

 

[FoundersClub]

Man every time it looks like we are about to stretch the lead out they get a miracle bounce on a 3…

 

[New Creation]

So Ben comes in turns it over and goes under the screen to give up a 3. Why…

 

[BBlock24]

That’s two lucky bounce 3s by Xavier.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Wow...brick city goes in

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Ben is responsible for giving them 8 points so far defensively, not to mention his offensive struggles…

 

[sacraig]

World's softest rims for Xavier's shooters tonight. Wow.

 

[NashvILLe05]

Now Swain is gonna hit 3’s. Moving screen too. Unreal that wasn’t called.

 

[so illini]

good D they are just making some shots. Keep it up boys.

 

[NarrowJ]

Ok now Swain is 2-2 from 3

16 percent career from 3

 

[robertgoulet]

It’s not an important Illinois game until the other team has a guy who never makes 3s that starts making 3s

 

[FloridaMan]

Hopefully we finish this half strong, wear them down in the second and move on!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Keep it up they won't be able to sustain this without the refs help. Lucky threes for them so far, they can't guard us. Don't have Ben create, just catch and shoot!

 

[Homecoming 2019]

5 all year....huh

 

[Illiniguy13]

I almost feel bad for Hamer…it’s hilarious how the analytics rarely swing his way trying to dork these non-shooters

 

[Ryllini]

Ben absolutely gave up on that Swain 3. I know we don’t mind him hoisting that up, but man, you have to contest a bit.

 

[curtmoss]

Drive, drive, drive. We have fouls shots coming!
