Illini Basketball vs. Long Island Pre-Game and Game Thread.
Posted by JFG Let’s goooo Illini!
|
Just an early observation, but the B1G appears to be elite at the top and hot hot garbage

My guide is showing UConn vs IL from 11:30-12:00 on Fox. Then starting at 12:00 is Bears pregame
Posted by biclops
|
www.fox32chicago.com/whats-on-fox says the entire UConn game is on Fox on 11/28*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Just a guess; Bears on Channel 32 as usual for cable games carried locally. Illini on Channel 50.

Unless the Illini game runs long they shouldn't overlap
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
huh, this LIU team beat Air Force and James Madison
Posted by assassin
|
They’re the best of a bad conf it appears. Also, again, why and how is Strickland their coach?
Posted by John Coctostan
|
strickland's from NYC. LIU is in NYC

Called it!

No free slice of Garcia’s. Boo!*

|
Good kenpomming*
Posted by Blazer
|
Back up to 7*
Posted by Blazer
|
Nice*
Posted by OWWDig
|
This second half has sucked*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Just awful effort on D*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Not the best 13 bucks I’ve ever spent. But not the worst either*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Is this the last BTN+ game?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
*hits cancel button* *
Posted by Blazer
|
yes*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I believe*
Posted by OWWDig
|
it's felt like a bad pickup game*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Exactly. Happy to get out with no injuries.*

walkon reports:

|
That was not the exact quote. There was an F word in there*
Posted by OWWDig
|
LOL*

|
91-54 at the under 4*
Posted by Blazer
|
Love advanced metrics generally. But its really dumb we have to care whether we win by 40 instead of
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Good close by the end of the bench*
Posted by OB25
|
Completely agree.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Totally. I’m way too stressed at second half garbage time
Posted by Blazer
|
82-43 at the under 8*
Posted by Blazer
|
Only nit this half is way too careless on the turnovers
Posted by Blazer
|
That and giving clean looks at 3’s lately too. Has gotten a bit sloppy.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
72-32 at the under 12*
Posted by Blazer
|
Wagler is gonna be so good*
Posted by OB25
|
Amazing level of control and calmness for a freshman. I’m thinking he might be gone after 2*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
65-22 at the under 16*
Posted by Blazer
|
Big pressure on Tomi to get the 6-7 for the kids after the break*
Posted by OB25
|
6x-1x*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I think the Sharks are ready to get on the plane home*
Posted by OB25
|
Covering the -34.5 spread at halftime. Keep pouring it on, feed me all the KenPom points*
Posted by OB25
|
Yep. We need the kenpom points*
Posted by Mrap24
|
And did that only hitting 4 threes*
Posted by Blazer
|
54-19 at half, dominant close. Even the B1G+ sound worked*
Posted by Blazer
|
Just overwhelming them with size*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I've heard that before.
Posted by osklister
|
Bam BAM!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Nice little unselfish play by Z there*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Illini rebounding isn't near as good without Mirkovic in the game*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I love him but Tomi just can’t help much right now. Needs the game reps though*
Posted by OB25
|
Z is so much more mobile. Tomi can’t cover in drop, can’t rebound
Posted by Blazer
|
38-19 at the under 4*
Posted by Blazer
|
how did everything become a Flagrant foul all of a sudden?
Posted by OrangeSox
|
That flagrant foul call is as puzzling as the one on Boswell a few games back.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
It was hard to see, but from the baseline angle it looked like the LIU kid had his
Posted by Blazer
|
Is the leg kick out an auto flagrant now? Seems harsh*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I *think* the refs are saying the shoooter followed through and pulled Ben down?*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Ah ok that could be it*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Also, so dumb they use the mic but don’t give any context. What’s the point? If all you’re doing
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah looked like his arm was wrapped around Ben’s neck on the way down*
Posted by Blazer
|
31-15 at the under 8*
Posted by Blazer
|
Wagler step back. *chefs kiss*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Looked kind of like a travel but I will take it.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Petro asking for the VAR. LOL.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Petro is way too careless in traffic*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
he was dribbling like it was open gym*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Yep gotta tighten that up*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Really high dribble*
Posted by Blazer
|
22-10 at the under 12*
Posted by Blazer
|
Second four minutes much better than the first four.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Tightened up the defense, which was a mess in the first four
Posted by Blazer
|
Yes it was. Hopefully Tomi gets some conditioning and some rustiness out of his system today*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
He looks really really bad on both ends. Gotta get right quick
Posted by Blazer
|
Brandon Lee sighting*
Posted by Blazer
|
Looked up quickly and thought feliz was back*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Had a nice steal and two terrible turnovers, quickly subbed for Petro*
Posted by Blazer
|
The turnovers were pretty bad. Had Z wide open for a dunk on one, instead charged into the LIU guy*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Yep*
Posted by Blazer
|
Brad looking to set a record for substitutions in a game today it seems.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Let’s give Petro an assist on that one.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Down 7-8 at the under 16
Posted by Blazer
|
Bad KenPom start but we should be able to be in the bonus for most of the 1st half*
Posted by OB25
|
Rod Strickland made like $40M it seems. Why is he coaching LIU?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Headband Ben*
Posted by OB25
|
Fresh buzz cut too it appears*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Tomi got the start*
Posted by Blazer
|
Lol wow I made sure to get back home for this early tip and it’s not even on TV
Posted by snipes824
|
tough to find a channel to show the game with so many football games being played*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Weirdly we are the only top 25 team in the country playing today*
Posted by OB25
|
B1G+ baby. Feel the excitement.*
Posted by DocWalk20

This is a must win game
Posted by timmer
|
This is a vital game in our Multi-Team event for 2025-26

How stringent is BTN+ on account sharing? Asking for a friend of course*

For anyone that cares, it works fine. 2 unique logins in two places*

|
I'll say that for the Colgate game, I was watching it on my laptop and phone in Kansas City
Posted by Blazer
|
That’s what I was wondering. Gonna try to split with my dad. Thanks*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Anyone? Bueller?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I have no idea about the answer to your question. But I wanted you to feel seen.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I appreciate that*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I would tap the brakes on a freshman being any sort of impact defender*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
More interesting than that is that it really sounds like Rodgers will actually play this season
Posted by OB25
|
As I have always maintained…
Posted by OWWDig
|
Probably right. But Boswell needs some help up there.*

New threads

Those are, as the kids say, fire*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Yeah, I like those. I really like the white ones too, but the orange is popping.*
Posted by JFG
|
I believe we played and beat them in the '82 NIT.
Posted by QcIlliniFan

Great. They’ll have revenge on their minds.
