Week of 12/1 Games Thread

[derrick6]

I will be absolutely shocked if Hummel isn’t Bill Raftery’s successor.

That’d be a fine pick. Especially doing games outside of Purdue

Not a good day for Big 10 basketball

It depends on the game tonight

 

[derrick6]

NW got screwed on a missed foul out of bounds but got a return on the block call.

 

[derrick6]

Devin Royal takeover

 

[illinitiger]

Just bet against b10 teams in power 5 non conf matchups on 6 dec.... and you will win!!!

Moretz looks leaner? Also, the defensive scheme seems to have him more on the perimeter and therefore fewer rebounds.

Morez is just fine lol

Not a good day for Big 10 basketball yet

He just drilled a 3. First of the year. I think he would have definitely provided us with toughness down low and an option other than threes. Too bad he left, really.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Morez just hit his first 3 of the season, first of his career . .

Morez with the three

Yup. He is missed.

 

[ChiTown]

Rez just hit another 3 point.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Maryland is really bad. Really hope this is not the year to hang up another stinker.

 

[Goillinikobd]

Yup. He is missed.

And another 3
Maybe we can get him back next year if we say plea$e

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Let’s be honest - morez is just as good at shooting threes as Mirkovic. However, he’s allowed to take numerous every game, which seems to be hurting us.

 

[Oracle21]

Michigan up 77-40 vs Rutgers. These last 4 games they’ve played have been insane level.

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

Rez is having an unreal game. Would be lying if I said I don’t feel some type of way about it

 

[Illinisnake]

Michigan #1 next week for sure. They are playing crazy. Pretty much averaging 100 a game.

Feels like there have been an unusual number of blowouts between highly-rated teams this year.

Was watching Purdue-Iowa St and Duke-Michigan St in split screen, but Purdue got so bad it just made sense to turn it off...

This has been a trend for a couple years now and is getting more and more common. Someone on Twitter was talking about this. I wish I would've saved it and posted it here.

Basically offenses keep getting more and more efficient, and are also playing with more tempo. So if you do have an off night, and pair that against an offense that is firing on all cylinders....you can blink and be down 20.

 

[jrichisamazing]

Already an interesting slate today so far

Purdue gets blasted at Mackey

MSU looks pretty tough, seems Izzo has the magic back last year + this year after having a pretty gross 4 year stretch (by his standard, mind you: 13, 13, 13, 15 losses in those 4 seasons)

Still think he's behind on contending for a national championship. Very very solid team this year. They play great defense and don't beat themselves, but they aren't final 4 caliber IMO. Even if they win the B1G again, I'd still give Michigan or Purdue (or hopefully us) a better chance to get there.

Can’t really disagree with you, they’re tough and play hard and rebound and defend and all of that but I feel they may have their ceiling somewhat capped due to lack of overall offensive talent.

Great offense. Great defense. Team full of athletic physical players. Deep as hell. They've got several bench players that'd be starters with majority of other B1G teams

They've really turned it on lately. Yaxel looks more and more comfortable as a leader with every passing game there.

I would hope that would be his response

 

[Rap47]

I sure hope Underwood saw how bad MSU was against the zone defense.
