Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[Username]

BH has had 1-2 good defensive plays but he can't buy a bucket. Now is not the time to follow through on NIL-based playing time commitments.

Hummy needs one to go in.

He needs to ride the pine ...

Need to get some hard cuts to the rim. Lane looks open.

More Rez, less Ben? Rez hurt?

4D Chess. Not showing our hand and secret weapon while being ahead.

 

[robertgoulet]

I have 0 problem with the defense tonight. Playing well. Refs missing calls that would have this thing bordering on out of reach.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We may want to stop running the offense through Ben. Get it to him if he's open, but we have so many better options than clearouts for him

Rez needs to be out there

 

[Chad Fleck]

I think we need Rez digging inside to counter their aggressive D on Tomi.

 

[Battle89]

We should be in the double bonus, what are the refs looking at?

They’re going to even them up, Xavier playing the can’t call them all game.

 

[Zorak]

Xavier is playing lousy and we are not taking advantage.

Hummy needs one to go in.

Right, I liked his last shot on the block. It just didn't go in.

 

[dainjazoner]

theres nothing ben does better then jake davis except being a few inches taller. you just saw ben fail to score on a 6'2 guard. what are we doing here

 

[Ryllini]

I wouldn’t mind seen tomi and rez in together for a stretch. Get a little high low going. Let Res roam in that dunkers spot

 

[Keisersose]

So far, we've had 7 points impacted by the refs. Xavier walked under the basket - no call - then passed out for a three. No foul call on KJ's drive, and I don't think Will stepped out. Always have to overcome more than our share of adversity it seems.

Plus they’ve made two lucky threes where they got an incredible bounce. One was a knuckleball.

I'm so sick of moving screens!

We have to lead the NCAA in being the most hurt by moving screens. Is not just by bias is it?

 

[Epsilon]

I didn't know you were allowed to make changes mid-game.

We need a ha ha reaction button

 

[OrangeBlue98]

So far so fun

Defense? We don't need no stinkin' defense

Defense…..

Morez should be in for him.

LOL ...

 

[WolfpackIllini]

Is it just me or does Sean Miller look like his other job might be an axe murderer??

 

[FoundersClub]

Three ball is keeping them in the game.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Wonder if coach Miller cares yet who he is playing

 

[madillini4]

STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Cannot allow that 3, Will.

 

[WolfpackIllini]

Glad rez is in there
