Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[illinidday89]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but a 3 point chuck when we can take time off the clock? What are we doing?

 

[DeeIL89]

Brad's playing with us right? Right? Why is Ben back in in the final 2-3 minutes?

 

[Captain 14]

We would still be living in Humrick’s house…

Rhymes with brick

 

[Ryllini]

Seriously, does anyone on that staff think whatever booster paid for Ben is going to upset if his !!! is glued to bench if we are winning? He is a good kid, just hasn’t worked the way we hoped to this point.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Of course Ben is in. lol

 

[azillini1]

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

This is exactly why people question Brad. Ben is 0 for 5 and gets minutes over White and Morez.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Finish it!!!

 

[blife]

Just keep playing hard, stay focused, run some clock and get some stops. LFG!!!!!

 

[Epsilon]

Ben Humrichous…..saying prayers and shooting prayers.

Well it’s bringing me closer to God.

 

[SemperFiIllini]

I'm sorry but I do not understand why Ben plays more than 5 mins a game

 

[GTL Adam]

Let’s not pretend DGL or Jake would give us less than Ben has today

 

[illinipimp]

0-5 bench player launches a 3. Brilliant!

Yeah he needs to understand he is not on. Brad shouldnt have him in.

 

[illinifan1987]

Can someone show the +- for Ben? It has to be sooooooooooooooooooooo bad

 

[BashCtIllini]

take away Bricks Mahoney and we're shooting 46% from 3

 

[mdsimon2]

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

Maybe Brad is just superstitious like the rest of us.

 

[ginabackes00]

My only comprehension of why Ben is in right now is because Tre's not getting back on D. Otherwise I got nothing

 

[cs04]

I know you want your shooters to keep shooting, but jeez at some point you need to see it’s not a player’s night and tell them to holster it.

 

[zentrails]

Let’s not pretend DGL or Jake would give us less than Ben has today

Heck why not Booth? OK maybe not Booth LOL

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

I want to pour myself a Buffalo Trace, can I pour myself one yet????

SOON ...

Every year there is some kid that Brad inexplicably gives a ton of minutes to. This years it’s BH. Trey should be out there…

[illinidday89]

I don't mind Ben being in right now. We just don't need the idiotic 3.

 

[sacraig]

How the heck did he just hit that?

 

[illiniCA]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn
