Uhhhh… I have Ty Rodgers questions. That doesn’t look like a guy too far off from playing?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I’m kind of over the Ty Rodgers thing *
Posted by illini21
|
in certain games he could add a spark. don't need him to be a centerpiece*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Over it or not, I’d written him off for the season.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I don’t know how I feel about that. I’m not sure where he fits*
Posted by CWR10
|
I think his injury was a partial patellar tear so maybe that heals faster?*
Posted by bjl63

he's...dunking the ball there, right?*

Colgate is a pretty solid low-major and the line has moved all the way up to -30.5

I do appreciate that Underwood generally scheduled “good” low major teams this year

Has anyone else had issues accessing their tickets for this game through the app?
Posted by Passiveaggressiveman
|
Are you using the United Center / Ticketmaster app?*
Posted by Dilbert
|
no. Bought them through the Illini tik office. Using the Illini app I use for my football tiks*
Posted by Passiveaggressiveman
|
they won't be in there. totally different ticketing system.
Posted by assassin
|
Have the payment receipt. Saw the game in my Illini app with 4 tik "stubs" with seat locations
Posted by Passiveaggressiveman
|
my guess is they set up a dummy event in their own system to take your money
Posted by assassin
|
No tickets under my email at Ticketmaster. Will try UC app.*

They are actually there via the United Center app. Thanks for the help!*

Tons of unsold 100 level available for face value? Fuck this, I'm going!
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
didn't realize that. so dumb. is this a UC pricing call or DIA?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah, the upper level pricing is very reasonable but the 100 level pricing is absurd.*
Posted by OB25
|
I’m corner much lower. 200 level under $100 too:

That’s why our group of 10 is nosebleeding it*

I’m talking about conference perception in general

Minimum 8-peat my frent *
Posted by jdl

I'm not saying he'll do it, but Andrej has all the tools to be better in the Domask role than Domask
Posted by GMAW
|
The pivot post move late on the left side was pure Domask. *
Posted by illini
|
The role of a guy who can just go score, yes
Posted by jdl
|
They aren’t yet. Just you wait*
Posted by GMAW
|
He seems much more get the ball and go on two dribbles than back down
Posted by John Coctostan

He's more Ayo than Domask*

So switch Z, Mirk, and Andrej w Tre, DGL, and Moroez

Nobody pivots like Undy*

The roster building is remarkable in this era

MJ may be the better player, but i wouldn't take him on this roster over z or mirk

I looked up DGL last night

Hope he succeeds. Thru all the social media drama he comes off as a good young man.

Hopefully the distance from his mother has helped as well*

Agreed. NIL is great for all *

Really wish Wake Forest could have finished the job against Michigan last night.*

Just checked scUM's schedule, it's pathetically weak for an alleged top 10 team
Posted by jdl EDIT - OK, they are in the Players Era Festival so could pick up a decent game there after playing SDSU and Auburn.

Hopefully it leaves them ill-prepared for March.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Wake Forest played dumb basketball. Michigan was sloppy also*
Posted by Poldark "Black, gay, and with a potted plant on her head."

Michigan doesn’t scare me, mostly because of their guard play*

Great win did the crowd seem a little off last night? Only saw parts and seemed quiet.*

Crowd and Krush was the best it's been in years. Just watched the broadcast and

People there were raving about it*
Posted by reggiedunlop

It sounded weak on TV but so much depends on the broadcast sound mixing.
Posted by OB25

The radio replays during the postgame show made it seem really loud down on the floor.
Posted by OWWDig
|
I'll put it this way...nowhere near the environment for past games like Seton Hall, Wake Forest, MSU
Posted by OWWDig
|
Nothing will compare with those. I noticed they also have some interesting music selections now.*
Posted by gullit
|
those were the days when students actually watched games, instead of being on their phones

That's as good a rationale as anything, I guess. That being said, it *seems* that the noise

Pretty darn loud at the times that you'd expect. But a little quiet during the second half lapse.*

Not surprised since it’s a Wednesday night, but the ticket sales for the UC game are not good at all

I'll be there with the Parmesan boys*

8pm midweek is a tough sell*

There's a lot of tickets available for the Tennessee game also*

Very surprising*

last time I looked the ticket prices were preposterous*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Roughly equivalent to Predators tickets

Any word last night on how long Tomi is out? Just wondering if we're talking days or weeks?
Posted by ibdoc
|
He’s basically dead, per here*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I heard he passed out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess its pretty serious*
Posted by GMAW
|
It sounded to me like he is nowhere close to coming back yet*
Posted by Quiz
|
That's not at all what Underwood sounded like last night*
Posted by GMAW
|
Brad won’t say. Anywhere from 1 more game to 1 more month seems possible*
Posted by snipes824
|
I haven’t watched the presser so am trusting the secondhand reports, but…
Posted by OB25
|
I don’t think it’s as bad as originally thought.
Posted by opossum jenkins

I wonder if he’s just being cagey to throw off Alabama
Posted by biclops

We better smoke Colgate. No letdown!*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

I hope we don't brush them off.*

With our luck, we'll probably win by teh skin of our teeth&

Much like the Bulls, I can't wait to see this team at full strength. 2 wagons.*

A couple of random observations
Posted by CWR10
|
I’m not sold on Mirkovic at all. Eye test last night was horrible. He’s slow and clumsy and every
Posted by meanjeans
|
If 11 and 4 is him being bad then sign me up for the rest of the season*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Depends on what you’re trying to be sold on. He’s awesome for an 18 year old freshmen.
Posted by OB25
|
Exactly.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Ben’s shooting form is so very determinative of percentage.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
regarding mirk, he's great in his role. but that role shouldn't be the tomi creator at the top
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Agreed on all. Mirk being the playmaker up top loses a bit because he doesn’t shoot like tomi
Posted by snipes824
|
Yeah, also waiting for Mirk to get called for hooking the defender on some of those low post moves *
Posted by jdl
|
agreed. that's gonna get called eventually
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
LOL, thought the same thing. If I was a TTech fan I woulda been going nuts.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Was there ever any sort of official explanation for the flagrant 1 upgrade?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Accountability for game officials?
Posted by jdl
|
All I will offer is this: if this is a precursor to calling every “intentional foul up 3” a flagran
Posted by GMAW
|
Kind of agree. Instead of giving the guy a friendly bro-hug, Kylan should have reached.
Posted by ATL
|
sure. except i haven't seen that articulated anywhere*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Ref TV exposure? *
Posted by osklister
|
I'm more just curious to hear the logic
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
If "not a play on the ball" is the definition of a F1, then that's what they need to announce...
Posted by uofi1998
|
it was a silly call and certainly a flop, but Kylan could also have done a better job...
Posted by uofi1998
|
then you better call every "losing team fouls to force FTs to extend the game" a flagrant also
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

that happened in my son's 7th grade game last week

No. I only want to call the up 3 nonsense :)*

My recollection is that he has even more old man YMCA game than Mirkovic*

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Werner this giddy*

I love that the preseason practice hype about a surprise player (Wagler) wasn’t bullshit for once*

he's solid, needs to work on decisionmaking, passing*

Stojakovic’s defense as well*

Was thinking the same thing. I love Underwood's approach to public praise,

I like how fucking cagey they are about petrovic. Like he's keyser soze or something*

Andrej handled that like a pro... keep the audience wanting more...*

Petrovic limps out of the locker room vs. Bama only to return to full gait when he hits the court

Reminiscent of Chris Duhon’s elbow

I thought the Tomi thing could be months?*
Posted by Toonces

Basing it on absolutely nothing I'm guessing Tomi is on the 4-6 week plan.
Posted by ijustkrushalot

When Brad led with “It’s not season ending” I pretty much assumed it would be 4-6 weeks.
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Yeah I think we should be hopeful to have him reasonably healthy by like mid-January*
Posted by OB25
|
Going to be interesting how they work him in
Posted by jdl

The lineup eventually has to be Bos-Wagler-Andrej-Mirk-Ivisic

Yeah I think Jake has had his run as a starter *
Posted by jdl

He was definitely out of his depth tonight*
Posted by Blazer

Him and Hummer should get a few spot minutes a game.*
Posted by WhitmansFolly

Wagler plays so calm for a freshman. I’m super impressed by him*
Posted by John Coctostan

Seems really confident. Sticks his nose in there too*
Posted by Herman Blume

He is sneaky smooth when around the basket as evidenced by a couple of his rebounds out of nowhere.*

We were, but I’ll also say that we seemed to do a damn good job of generally not fouling
Posted by OB25

it was obvious that they focused on not fouling. did a great job*

true. best home court call i can remember*

that's a win that will age well, which is all I care about*

Yep. Great resume win. And i want zero part of a March rematch with them. *
Posted by VIV

at full stength? i'd welcome it. with tomi alone, we add 10 more points (toppin doesnt' go off)*

One of the handful of best wins in the Underwood era, IMO*

Brad’s first home non-con win over a ranked opponent…

Seriously tho, if that is even close to the standard, you can never foul at end of games*
Posted by John Coctostan

Absolutely. Just ridiculous.*

any tt foul now has to be intentional*

This is what happens with legalized sports betting*

WTF is this shit. *

Flop*

Come the fuck on*
Posted by Herman Blume

Don’t you fucking dare *

There’s ZERO there*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Should be very quick *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Wtf are you discussing?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Come on. He faked that hard core*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Oh no*
Posted by OB25
|
OMG. NOT flagrant.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Oh come on *
Posted by illini
|
Oh, fuck me. *
Posted by VIV
|
Take some fouls now on d*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
We’ve got fouls to give*
Posted by UofIL6
|
For the love of god, use the fouls as soon as they cross half this time*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Huge drive by Boz. *
Posted by harb
|
BRAD USE OUR FOULS*
Posted by Blazer
|
Why not foul??!?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Toppin has so many FGs. crazy*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Our defense on him has been awful*
Posted by CWR10
|
Andre needs to touch the ball*
Posted by ab75
|
Why so much Hummer and so little Z this half?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
it's a good question. they're getting endless easy layups this half*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
We have 2 fouls to give. Have to just take one there*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Why not use our fouls?*
Posted by nash
|
TTs coach gives me a PJ Fleck vibe*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Have to get the ball back to Bos or Andrej that last possession*
Posted by Blazer
|
My word Ben *
Posted by illini
|
I have officially had enough of JT Toppin. *
Posted by VIV
|
Have we hit a 3 this half?*
Posted by biclops
|
I don't think so
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Don’t think so.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Why don’t we make Toppin shoot free throws?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Start putting toppin at the line please*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
off Boswell. caused by Anderson hitting his arm though.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Probably off Bos, not enough to overturn either way*
Posted by Blazer
|
Yeah…not going to win this one. *
Posted by harb
|
Toppin plays NBA level defense right now*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I will say this - imagine being a TT fan
Posted by John Coctostan
|
And you shot 2 FTs in a bruising game*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
I haven’t sat down since the under 8*
Posted by biclops
|
Just get a couple more buckets*
Posted by OB25
|
feel like this is a andrej iso from here on out game
Posted by snipes824
|
Make them stop it*
Posted by ab75
|
Yep. Personnel dictated giving up spacing for iso ball
Posted by Blazer
|
Hummer just fell asleep there. Come on man*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Peja Jr’s ability to finish at the rim is incredible
Posted by Blazer
|
It’s really good, but the size advantage is a big part of it*
Posted by GMAW
|
He just doesn’t look the part.
Posted by EffinIllini
|
Andrej is playing like a 1st team All Conference guy*
Posted by OB25
|
Thought he looked a bit rusty last game. Playing fantastic tonight.*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
Pretty clear he’ll be the guy when you need a bucket*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
This is Bos’s team*
Posted by Blazer
|
Really missing Tomi’s ability to space this half*
Posted by CWR10
|
Boz with a finish and 1. *
Posted by harb
|
Ben remains 0-career on threes that will blow the roof off*
Posted by Blazer
|
Said the same thing.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Just thought that*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
Hummer has never made a high leverage three*
Posted by CWR10
|
Meh. That one was bad luck*
Posted by bjl63
|
Ha, glad I’m not the only one thinking that*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
One exception—Purdue last year to tie it*
Posted by Blazer
|
It’s unreal. *
Posted by illini
|
Hummer’s ability to miss the most important threes - intact*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hell yeah bos. What good instincts there*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Please win this somehow.*
Posted by nash
|
We have not adjusted well at all to their pressure D. Too much standing and dribbling*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Mirkovic not having his shot tonight is really tightening everything up.
Posted by OB25
|
I’m pretty worried Mirk as shooter won’t actually be a thing*
Posted by Blazer
|
yeah, we're getting nothing when he's setting screens*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Part of that is personnel
Posted by Blazer
|
we're in the bonus, need to drive the ball *
Posted by jdl
|
The off the ball movement has disappeared. Ball has gotten stagnant.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Wagler is so smooth*
Posted by Blazer
|
Pretty scrappy too*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Come on. *
Posted by harb
|
That’s a pretty soft call on Bos*
Posted by Blazer
|
they always call the swipe *
Posted by jdl
|
phantom call*
Posted by snipes824
|
This shit is just ridiculous at this point*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Toppin is traveling every time. Also he’s fucking good*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yep*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Walk*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Yep. Happy feet when he caught the ball. *
Posted by harb
|
Not the first time either*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Phantom foul. My god.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Awesome play by Andre. *
Posted by harb
|
Their 7th foul. Hope that becomes a thing*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
This is a fucking absurd performance by them, my god*
Posted by OB25
|
Think you bought some time with bos on toppin. Keep switching it up though. And
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hack him a little too.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
3 minutes of Jakstys beating him up *
Posted by jdl
|
0/5 on threes this half, let’s not do the last year thing where we go ice cold at the worst time*
Posted by OB25
|
Andre….and one. *
Posted by harb
|
Wait, so college hoops has continuation now?*
Posted by Blazer
|
and coach's challenges *
Posted by jdl
|
just learned that myself. I was like, that's a really generous continuation.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Apparently?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Indeed*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Loving the continuation rule change this year (until it goes against us)*
Posted by OB25
|
Let Toppin score until he gets tied. Good strategy, Brad*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
In the bonus. Keep up the aggressiveness*
Posted by UofIL6
|
What a strange lineup. *
Posted by harb
|
Boswell is so crafty*
Posted by Blazer
|
They are absolutely bullying us. And we are contest shooting fade aways*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Same shit, different year.*
Posted by nash
|
Big Z, you have 7 inches on him. Just stay down.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Completely different team. Not as active on D, settling for horrible shots. Bad*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
TT is playing good defense to be fair *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Yep. TT has picked it up several levels on both O and D since halftime.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Never seen anything like this.*
Posted by OB25
|
Never?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
They started 11/11 and most of them tough shots. It was unreal stretch*
Posted by OB25
|
Toppin is a 68% FT shooter. Maybe hack him a bit? *
Posted by illini
|
No expert but it seems like this Toppin kid is hurting us*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
That time we had a 13 point lead *
Posted by biclops
|
Gone. *
Posted by harb
|
Absurd*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
this is not trending well
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Getting beat by Toppin. *
Posted by harb
|
Maybe make someone else shoot*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
And please take Hummer off him*
Posted by Blazer
|
Have to dig Toppin’s first dribble*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
We were in the first half, and then stopped
Posted by Blazer
|
Toppin - really good still*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
What are we doing with these lineups Brad
Posted by Blazer
|
I’m not a +/- guy, but Hummer, Jake, and Jakstys all negative
Posted by Blazer
|
Maybe saving legs for the end run? He kinda did that in the first half too. *
Posted by harb
|
Seemed like he had his mind set on that lineup getting the the under 16 timeout come hell or high
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Come on. Too many TOs. *
Posted by harb
|
brad, bring in stoj*
Posted by snipes824
|
Don’t like. *
Posted by VIV
|
Would be nice if TTU would miss one*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
We’ve actually not played terrible D this half. They are just really good on O too*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Thank goodness we made a few tough shots on our end.
Posted by OB25
|
Yep. It’s been better than our O *
Posted by illini
|
True story. They’re really really good*
Posted by Blazer
|
He cums in his jeans?*
Posted by biclops
|
Ooo
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I laughed at that, too*
Posted by VIV
|
a lot of guys on this team don't get sped up and I love it*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I like Wagler a lot*
Posted by Stu
|
Those back to back plays were something else. Strength and then body control*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
So just gonna be all toppin til we stop it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Gonna one of those ‘please move faster, clock” second halves. Don’t give up a run in the first 4:00*
Posted by OB25
|
Ugh, -7 in the first 4:00 and they haven’t missed a shot. Not good*
Posted by OB25
|
We have two players whose last name famous Balkan basketball players from the past
Posted by ATL
|
Whenever Andrej has the ball, I instinctually say 'let's go, peja' *
Posted by UofIL6
|
Imma just call him Peja the rest of the year*
Posted by Blazer
|
Andrej Stojakovic is the son of former NBA-er Peja Stojakovic
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Yeah I have a really hard time remembering which is which as well.
Posted by Herman Blume
|
*celebratory hip thrusts * *
Posted by biclops
|
Only 2 pumps or else it's a fine
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
ooo
Posted by biclops
|
Team is good, our cheerleaders appear attractive. Life is good.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Did I mention Stojakovic looked good today? oh yes I did*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
imagine this team with 40 minutes of ivisic and stoj*
Posted by snipes824
|
Wow. *
Posted by harb
|
This could be a very special team, guys. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
WE ARE GOOD*
Posted by OB25
|
Fucking awesome*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Shoulda been an and 1 too*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Absolutely *
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Amazing to look this good even with 2 potential starters out*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Kind of a Weber special on this timeout*.
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Hell yes. And good TO by Brad to earn us an extra possession.*
Posted by OB25
|
Didn’t catch the time on the clock. Nice.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
100%*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
BU was gonna be super pissed if KB didn’t go 2 for 1 and then missed that 3*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
That will work. *
Posted by harb
|
I mean, look, scoring 43+ against these guys in one half is damn good*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
lol, Mirk pulled the chair on Toppin*
Posted by Blazer
|
Pretty sure that’s the 5th travel on TT.*
Posted by HeatMizer
|
WTF that was not a travel*
Posted by OB25
|
Z for 3. *
Posted by harb
|
Man that was pretty. Great cut by mirk, could have got the ball but drew the D, open 3*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Roughy sighting*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Find it very hard to believe that Toppin didn’t travel there*
Posted by OB25
|
Sure looked like it*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
3 steps I think *
Posted by larue33
|
These clocks have been fucked up every game this season*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
And apparently impossible to reconcile in less than 5 mins*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Missed an opportunity to extend a bit*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Classic Ron McDon*
Posted by Stu
|
Several opportunities….*
Posted by harb
|
I’m just a moran on his couch, but I’m not sure about the 25 foot ball pressure versus them
Posted by OB25
|
Dick Vitale has had cancer 4 times*
Posted by Stu
|
That’s like 5 live ball TOs. Only thing really stopping the offense. We’re getting what we want*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Just spread the shooters and put Kylan and Mirk in ball screens. Unstoppable*
Posted by Blazer
|
Love KB setting the screen. Teams don’t see that often, don’t play it well*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Kylan needs to chill on that jump stop. It’s actively hurting us at this point*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Don’t need him going into traffic. Leave that to all his teammates that are 5”+ taller*
Posted by shua
|
Kylan drives have not been productive *
Posted by jdl
|
Love the concepts on defense. Execution isn’t quite there yet
Posted by Blazer
|
Mirk had a little guy on him and Ben jacked a three*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Ben you idiot!*
Posted by Poldark "Black, gay, and with a potted plant on her head."
|
Pretty sure the whole neighborhood heard me scream about that.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Using our height really well in the post. Just stay tall and let Big Z contest weak side*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Peja Jr as advertised on defense*
Posted by Blazer
|
yeah thought that might have been an underwood special, but looks very good there*
Posted by snipes824
|
Good D and a slasher but not a shooter. Wild stuff*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
So smart of Mirk to post the guy with 2 fouls*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
No toppin, can’t let Anderson do anything*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
On FS1 now. *
Posted by harb
|
Give me Z, Mirk, Andrej, Keaton and Bos
Posted by Blazer
|
Fucking TOs. Come on boys*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
They've stole two lazy handoff passes now. unacceptable*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Out rebounding and shooting 56%. But 5 fewer FGA thanks to the TOs*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
They’ve got 5 turnovers too to our 7, and we have twice as many points off TO*
Posted by Blazer
|
incredibly annoying*
Posted by snipes824
|
Boswell is very sloppy. Needs to clean it up*
Posted by shua
|
Big Z is not at all the same guy we played against last November*
Posted by OB25
|
We fucking stole this kid. My god. He rocks *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Not bad for a backup center *
Posted by biclops
|
Z running the floor. *
Posted by harb
|
is Z a homeless man's wemby??*
Posted by snipes824
|
the pump fake three gave me Wemby Jr Jr Jr vibes*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
That 3 mins is why Z was so hyped 2 years ago*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
That sequence was reminiscent of his debut with UK *
Posted by jdl
|
We are horrible on defense. As expected*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Keep in mind we’re going playing an elite offense
Posted by Blazer
|
Stojakovic has been great so far today*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
dunk that shit Z *
Posted by jdl
|
Or just shoot a 3 like that. *
Posted by harb
|
Or take over the damn game *
Posted by jdl
|
Nice! Challenge!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Should get to keep challenging as long as you win. Capping at 2 is dumb*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Both teams pretty much getting what they want. Turnovers and 3PT% will decide it*
Posted by OB25
|
TOs only thing really stopping the offense*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Stojakovic looking a lot more comfortable today*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Need him and Wagler going to the rim, and not Boswell*
Posted by shua
|
Jakstys and hummer. Hmm*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Hummer getting abused on defense*
Posted by Blazer
|
Bold*
Posted by biclops
|
Toppin looks really good. Otherwise we matchup fine
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Saul Goodman *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Took a minute to adjust to the speed and physicality but settling in fine*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yep. Looks like we’re gonna throw different looks at Topping
Posted by Blazer
|
Yep. And size has led to the tipped balls and travels. Make them tentative*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Watts is palming his dribbles*
Posted by timmer
|
He took 3 steps between dribbles at one point on their last possession
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
We look stunned, unprepared*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
But leading at the under 16:00 timeout*
Posted by OB25
|
This is going great *
Posted by biclops
|
Do they have an alternative channel, or are we not getting to our game
Posted by HeatMizer
|
Starting on fs2 and the app*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
*checks to see if I have FS2, I do**
Posted by shua
|
donuts!*
