[Second place is 1st loser]

6 of 27 from 3, 6 of 10 from the foul line for UCONN.

Where was this return to miserable shooting versus us?

 

[MechSE10]

Maybe just me but there seems to be a ton of scUM pushing people for rebounds.

This game is a rock fight- maybe the most physical game I've seen this season.

Mullins and Jesse Plemmons aka Meth Damon .. Separated at birth?

So im taking away more shots and usage from our top 5 pick?

Yeah, and Gibbs-Lawhorn was not any part of the missing piece to a national championship

 

[IlliniTaffy]

I miss Juwan Howard

DGL as a backup point and combo guard, I'd buy. In no world am i benching Mirk for DGL.

Uconn is cooked.

In general, these last 4 min. are where you see shots hitting the front of the rim as legs get tired, pressure mounts, and aiming becomes prevalent. But adrenaline can pay a big part too and Mullins is flowing with it.

Did you watch any MSU

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

A starting lineup of Wagler, Gibbs-Lawhorn, Morez, Stojakovic, the Ivisics splitting time at center and Mirkovic as a reserve,..we pull down the nets tonight...

DGL over Boz?

 

[RockfordIllini]

UConn shoots the same % from 3 as they did against us they’d be tied with Michigan right now.

Sometimes it’s as simple as make or miss.

 

[PNWIllini]

Just so we’re clear. I almost never watch the F4 final game.

I am this year because it feels like Illinois is right there this year. And like we won’t be rebuilding, we’ll be reloading.

 

[IllinitripleJ]

DGL over Boz?

Yes

 

[derrick6]

Physicality can’t be taught and we didn’t have much. Sacrificing 3’s for some added physicality is a must.

I doubt Michigan shoots much worse than us.

 

[PNWIllini]

Our man Morez on the bench in crunch time with 4 fouls

Throw your glasses Hurley go viral

 

[PNWIllini]

UCONN did not miss that many open threes against us.

We did not quite intimidate them as much

 

[hoopsfan47]

Karaban has earned my elite shooter merit badge...for what it is worth.

Great mechanics, goes straight up, and quick release without aiming....and he is not afraid to take the big shot.

 

[PNWIllini]

What a sequence

 

[jumpingjack]

What a sequence and missed opportunity for UCONN.

Now do Michigan. They are 2-15 from 3. They hit at their normal clip and it is a laugher.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Mckinney just hits some big time shots

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

My goodness. UConn had a chance there with the steal. Shoved on the shot and a 3 on the other end.

If Yaxel was healthy this would be an easy Michigan win. What if game…
