I’d say 1/ 3; Illinois. 2/ 3 Tennessee. But we were loud. *

Huge win! *

What a great reaction to a poor first half. Really by everyone but mirkovic who didn’t really play.*
Posted by ATL
|
You mean Petrovic?
Posted by jdl
|
I’m confusing my Slavs. Yes. Petrovic.*
Posted by ATL
|
Also, did Lee play?*

Seems to be the guy if we need better perimeter d. Didn’t need that last night*

I’m drunk in Indy tonight and saw none of this, but…

Did a good job on Ament defensively. He’s great*

Keaton Wagler's poise tonight against that D was incredibly impressive.

he's got the "it"

He’s incredible*

I hope we get a second season out of him

He’s on NBA draft boards but mostly early-to-mid 2nd round.

Not just flashes but stretches of the Tomi we expected to see from the start one of the biggest.*

Healthy conditioned Tomi is a sea change*

Only thing that really matters for long term prognosis*

Big relief to see old Tomi back*

Thinking of you*

*FG**

I think Ben does a lot of good things defensively and spaces the floor well
Posted by GMAW
|
I agree. He’s visible and helpful even when he’s not sinking 3s.*
Posted by ATL
|
He made a ton of huge “little things” plays down the stretch *
Posted by assassin
|
he's improved a ton defensively*
Posted by snipes824
|
5 rebounds 3 blocked shots*
Posted by Poldark "But Jesus Christ guys, not every loss is referendum on Brad Underwood"
|
He's so much better than last year
Posted by jdl
|
He really has been. Seems to be pressing less on O and is lightyears better on D and rebounding*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Shooting almost 40% from 3 made up for getting outrebounded by 14. #bizarroIllini*
Posted by DocWalk20

Huge fucking win*

Good win. Nice bounce back. *

Agree. Fun game (or 2nd half)*
Posted by OWWDig

2-2 against our marquee non-con slate is acceptable *

Agreed. I would have been ecstatic with 3-1 in those 4 and disappointed by 1-3. 2-2 I’ll take.*

Man if we could just string together a couple stops we could blow this thing wide open*

Get to the paint, find shooters. Simple stuff*

You forgot the “make shots” part. But yeah.*

humongous shots by Z*

as opposed to Humrichous shots by B*

Big Z!*

Don’t fucking leave Gillespie*

Z switched on him I think. Didn’t want a blow by I guess *

Big Z.. *

I can’t get over the Wagler thing*
Posted by illini21
|
I mean what was the drawback on him coming out of HS?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
He didn’t play AAU ball I don’t think. Less visibility.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Didn't play on the big AAU circuits *
Posted by jdl
|
Drake’s looks disgusting*
Posted by CWR10
|
I hear you can get gift cards there*
Posted by Stu

Nice stretch there. Let’s keep it rolling.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Everything else aside, Ky has been amazing this year*
Posted by Blazer
|
Wagler looking really good too. Better than Riley at this point in the season*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Yeah, this is super encouraging. He had been a bumslayer to this point*
Posted by Blazer
|
he's really good*
Posted by snipes824

hell yeah. great run*

Boswell should be at the FT line. Come on.*

TN is 5-12 from the line and these announcers haven’t even noticed*

Still buzzing from Jellyroll*

|
Understandable I guess when in the presence of greatness/royalty*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I mean, I’m old but I had no clue who that degenerate was until my wife told me*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Can we swap out Jimmy Dykes for Jelly Roll?*
Posted by biclops
|
Mirk having a little bounceback half*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
he just bounced half his back off the floor*
Posted by biclops
|
I mean you can’t fault Herm for being a literalist.
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Isn't slapping the backboard goaltending? *I
Posted by jdl
|
I was literally just about to post that. i'm not positive it actually altered the outcome
Posted by snipes824
|
It wasn’t (called) in the first half either.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
That was the best JAKEDAVIS!! ever*
Posted by Blazer
|
Big shot for Jake. *
Posted by harb
|
Someone file a missing person report on Andrej *
Posted by jdl
|
Seriously. I’ve been begging for him to get going.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
He did hear us *
Posted by jdl
|
these boos give me life *
Posted by biclops
|
Didn’t realize Scirotto was one of the refs. That explains a lot*
Posted by Blazer
|
I still can’t believe they made him chief of police in Pittsburgh *
Posted by ATL
|
Hopefully somebody remembered to clock him in back at the station*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
tn is shooting 38 / 29 / 42 and is only down 1.*

IL is getting out rebounded by 16 and up 1*

Such a bizarre game.*
Posted by DocWalk20

Bailed out there*

Good thing that FT went in. Saved us a point*
Posted by OrangeSox

Oh, Ben*
Posted by illini21

Leave Ben in Nashville*

Good Ben. Bad Ben.*

that sequence feels significant*

Ben*

What is that insanity?!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Oh Ben. *
Posted by harb
|
Sit Ben forever, please*
Posted by GrandmotherPearlsJam
|
Gonna be a crucial stretch here with Petro, Z, Jake Davis and Ben in
Posted by Blazer
|
How about that. They can call a revounding foul on TN.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Wagler’s too pretty to play basketball*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Get a freaking loose ball. My god.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
We're playing Davis and Humbrickhouse at the same time?
Posted by GrandmotherPearlsJam
|
And we come out now with a Jake + Ben lineup.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Michigan State is going to get infinity rebounds
Posted by GMAW
|
Cosign. *
Posted by harb

This is insane*
Posted by illini21
|
I don’t recall rebounding this poorly in the BU era*
Posted by ab75
|
he's changed his builds*
Posted by snipes824
|
In fairness, there have been a ton of long bounces that will benefit the offense
Posted by Blazer
|
Some of it is just the vagaries of long rebounds but we’re also not blocking anybody out*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Disagree on not blocking anyone out
Posted by GMAW
|
Hell we’re not even looking for the ball when it’s already bounced off the rim and right next to us*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Jinx*
Posted by Blazer
|
Grab the fuckin ball. *
Posted by illini
|
Fuckin rebounds*
Posted by Blazer

Zero effort on the glass. Just laying down and taking it*
Posted by CWR10

God damn offensive rebounds

Giving up 16 is just insane.*

"poor man's Cam Boozer" AYFKM *

complete WTF*
Posted by Orangeillini

REBOUND! DAMMIT!*
Posted by DocWalk20

the rebounding is going to make me scream*

i can't believe brad is standing for this level of effort on the boards.*
Posted by Ari Gold

Yeah I wonder if he’s mentioned it to them*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
What would you like him to do?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Andrej didn’t even pretend to box out there*
Posted by CWR10
|
We just don't make enough shots. You can't be an unathletic team who also can't shoot*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Went for size, skill, and shooting but forgot the shooting*
Posted by Blazer
|
Tomi may be back at least*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I mean, that should have been an and 1 *
Posted by jdl
|
Completely. Ridiculous no call.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Tomi, Ben, Kylan with 0 rebounds.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Ben with 13 minutes. 0 points 0 rebounds.
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Yep. Andrej has to be better*
Posted by Blazer
|
Killed them.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Second half Andrej heater, plz*
Posted by Blazer
|
Need it*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
17 first half minutes for Mirk is waaaaaaay too many.
Posted by Mrap24
|
He’s been bad. Hopefully he’ll adjust to the level of the competition, given his youth*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Foul trouble for Andrej and Z
Posted by Blazer
|
the bigs are not good enough, and I'm just about done with the unathletic roster builds*
Posted by snipes824
|
It's a problem
Posted by jdl
|
yeah it's not that they're not trying, it's that they are playing superior athletes
Posted by snipes824
|
Yeah, early returns on Mirk were fool’s gold
Posted by Blazer
|
watching morez dominate does suck. he's exactly what we need*
Posted by snipes824
|
Bumslayer*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Mirk is such an awful fit. Need a hyper athletic 4 not a non shooter with an 11 inch vert*
Posted by CWR10
|
yeah, our offense is centered around that position launching 3's. that's not him*
Posted by snipes824
|
Mirk was a poor shooter in the ABA. It makes no sense*
Posted by CWR10
|
Giving up on the team at halftime of an early December game*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
there it is. I was wondering who was going to fan police first*
Posted by snipes824

Not fan policing so much as idiot policing*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
ooo
Posted by snipes824
|
It is an interesting take.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I am really not enjoying this team*
Posted by CWR10

Need Andrej in this second half. Be smart without fouling *
Posted by illini

Yep*

|
The Europe shit needs to end. Fine with one guy. Not 972*
Posted by opossum jenkins

Yep. Need better athletes, better shooters, tougher players …

At least we haven’t missed any FTs tonight!*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
And our FT defense has been excellent *
Posted by jdl
|
Rebound and make bunnies and this isn’t close. JFC*
Posted by OWWDig
|
I feel like so many bounces are going the Vols’ way that things have to even out
Posted by ATL
|
You’re not wrong, but still, gotta make layups and rebound better*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Loose ball fairy has definitely been on their side so far tonight.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Agree with this. But I also don’t see a lot of guys on the floor*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Just felt like everything went their way*
Posted by ab75
|
So many missed bunnies and lost rebounds. All things considered somewhat lucky to only be down 2*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Gotta hit that Mirk*
Posted by Blazer
|
soft*
Posted by biclops
|
losing most of the 50/50 balls.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
And somehow they now only have one fewer team foul than us *
Posted by ATL
|
Oh fuck you, Jimmy dykes. The officiating has not been terrific
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
He’s the absolute god damned worst.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
In fairness he missed half of the game so far talking to Jelly Roll*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Oh yeah, Tomi’s really good*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Bunch of makeup calls at the end of the half*
Posted by Blazer
|
Mirkovic can’t be trusted with the ball right now*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Mirk is a complete mess tonight. Walking turnover and getting destroyed on the boards*
Posted by Blazer
|
We are getting absolutely destroyed on the glass.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
4 fouls on tn at the under 4 timeout is beyond laughable*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Evening things up now *
Posted by jdl
|
Must be nice to play such great d without ever fouling*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
So many ORebs*
Posted by UofIL6

21-10 overall. 11-3 offensive. Just unacceptable*
Posted by Blazer

Infinite contact allowed by Tennessee apparently *
Posted by assassin
|
It’s incredible.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
lol bad rebounding.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
JFC they end up with every tip*
Posted by biclops
|
Some of it is TN effort. But a lot of luck so far too. Not to mention they don’t get called for
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Wtf is Drake’s gift cards?*
Posted by Stu
|
Don’t know but the money goes directly to Kendrick *
Posted by ATL
|
We’re so soft. Get rebounds guys*
Posted by Blazer
|
Every frickin’ pinballed ball ends up in their lap. Come on.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Zero fucking whistles on our end*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Tennessee dude in the lane for 20 minutes *
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Yep*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
thank goodness they’re not making fts.*
Posted by Ari Gold

How was that not a foul or a goaltend on Petro’s last drive?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Scirotto
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Bad no call, but Petro missing bunnies like they’re goin outta style*
Posted by OWWDig
|
1000% a foul*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Ridiculous no call
Posted by Blazer
|
True. But my god the lack of calls on Tennessee so far has been ridiculous.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Giving up a lot of OREB*
Posted by biclops
|
Abysmal rebounding*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Rebounds dammit*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I for one would like to hear the face tats guy talk more about jail/being fat*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
While cheering for the other team. That was just awful. F ESPN*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Couple of bad transition matchups. Petro cannot go under that screen*
Posted by Blazer
|
They'll review that and find he didn't get the shot off in time
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Thought he was on time *
Posted by ATL
|
Shoving on the boards only called a foul on one end *

Does seem to be a bit of they can’t call them all happening.*

It's bad enough that they are talking very little about the game during all this

flop*

Looking fwd to Morgan Wallen at the music city bowl*

I'm so glad we get to listen to jelly roll talk about the Bible

A little Jelly Roll goes a long way *

Ironically he’s the only one watchign and commenting on the game right now.*
Posted by DocWalk20

lol*
Posted by Blazer

3 Ivisic post ups for buckets so far.*

And then Tomi blows what looked to be the easiest one. Ugh.*
