Week of 12/8 Games Thread

[Fly Illini Fly!]

#5 on Ped State with a brutal last few minutes. Misses wide open three, then missed one and one, then with the breakdown on D to give up the open three.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Penn St went up 67-64 at the 5:00 min mark and couldn’t buy a bucket in pretty good looks until just now

 

[jamarvelous31]

PSU 5 down. Completely loses the dude shooting 4-4 from 3.

Defensive malpractice.

 

[BBlock24]

It’d be nice if Texas Tech comes back to beat Arkansas. Currently down 4 with 3 mins left.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Penn State looking like they are for real. I'm torn on who to root for between MSU & PSU my hatred for both is high. Wish both could lose

Unfamiliar with why the hatred for PSU basketball program….

 

[BillyBob1]

The refs never seen to make any foul calls against MSU

According to Izzo, they call too many.

 

[ChiTown]

MSU needed Divine Intervention to pull this off.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

TTU losing it at the foul line… 2-8 for Toppin

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Texas tech is just the definition of a team without enough talent surrounding the star players.

I'd say it goes back to the '06 loss and other head scratching losses.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Toppin and Anderson combine for 56 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists…. and still lose.

 

[DeeIL89]

Tough break for Penn State.

 

[jamarvelous31]

Watching Northwestern vs Jackson State and the announcers talking about how Morez didn't transfer for money, he transferred for a better chance at winning...

 

[foby]

Tom Crean sighting at halftime of FLA-GW...

And he's aging like.....

Haven’t watched them much outside of our game, looks like they ran a 6 man rotation today? Hard to win that way

If you have the right players, it's easy to win that way. In fact, most coaches trim down their rotations to 6-7 guys by tournament time.

By tournament time sure, but it’s December 13th. Tired legs will choke games away

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Maryland giving mich a fight and their best player breaks his freakin’ leg. Cuz of course.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Maryland with a 50 piece in the first half against Michigan. The “best defensive team of all time” chatter was perhaps premature?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Nick Irvin made more adjustments and better adjustments than our staff today …

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

They didn’t play great today (still will win comfortably), but Michigan’s team is just scary. Personnel wise I’m talking, especially that front-court.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Indiana is mid.

Michigan well on their way against Maryland. Yaxel looks like a stud.

 

[DeeIL89]

Indiana lost to a dysfunctional Kentucky team.

 

[TheodoreRex]

LOL- OSU against West Virginia at a neutral court in Ohio.. Thornton- 13 points, 5-16 and 1-8 from 3...

OT against a mediocre West Virginia team.. Oh so fun to see.
