[The pop of Champaign]

Terrible shot. Unreal

 

[BDMAN]

[Mr. Roberts]

How was that a foul? Gift free throws.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I don't even remotely understand why Ben is taking that shot. Just mindblowingly bad basketball

 

[illinipimp]

A 3 and he hasn’t made one all night . Get him out Brad !!

 

[foby]

Welp........Ben comes in and good things happened. He still can't shoot.

 

[sacraig]

BRAD !!!!!! WHY IS BEN BACK IN THE GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!

Needed more bricked threes so we can set that record, too.

 

[skyIdub]

Ben Humrichous…..saying prayers and shooting prayers.

Crank up the postgame thread Dan!!!!

How to MFG is Ben in this game!

 

[CDRUSN]

If the scores hold in these late games, the B10 is looking to go 8-0 in the first round. Then the fun really begins as we start to mix it up with the SEC in the next rounds to finally settle which conference is really the best this year. The consensus is SEC, but I am really pulling for the B10 to show up,Big Time.

Riley on a heater… Ben decides he’s gonna have a heat check.

 

[jmwillini]

Someone tell Hummer to stop firing 3's

[InDaAZ]

Thank God Riley turned the corner or where would we be?

We would still be living in Humrick’s house…

 

[fantasydaily708]

Be strong with the ball and keep making free throws and its goodnight Xavier

 

[NashvILLe05]

Love the Illinois sports family commercial with the antenna!!

[CleverHandle1]

Is Ben 0-8 now?

He's hustling on defense and I'm sure someone will post a stat how Illinois is +100 when Ben is in there. LOL.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Dude I know I'm going to get hell for this but Ben was in when we built our biggest lead of the night, he left we let them back in, he came back in we went on a quick 5-0 run. Did he directly contribute to any of this? Not as far as I can see. But maybe the dude is good luck tonight

I sure like this swing…and not a moment too soon.
