Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[geneseo]

NU is taking some pretty bad shots

28% from the field and 0% from three.

Illini coming out and playing some inspired basketball. Lucas appears to be locked in tonight.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

We're burying the lede here though: Northwestern looks awful.

They're going to collapse and miss the tourney. Hot take prediction.

Well, they're not making shots either But the shot selection has been Illinois-esque

 

[Second and Chalmers]

The sphincters in purple are microscopic right now.

or.....they will settle down ... and we will get tight in the second half and these 12 mins will be long forgottten

Hopefully will play this way the full 40.

Chris on the hot seat

Maybe tonight's the night the Cats fall back to earth and the Illini start playing closer to how they should be.

Great possession Malcolm!

 

[Bleed O and B]

do we have another starting line-up change to come.
Black vs Kipper???

That reminds me--I need to buy a lotto ticket.

 

[LurkLongandProsper]

That was probably the best 15 minutes we've played this year, IMO.

Also, missing Lindsey is a pretty big deal for them.

 

[Adnarel]

... Hill???

 

[chief78]

that's a terrible call on JCL - undercut my a$$

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

[Bleed O and B]

Good coach.

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

Make it count, Leron, good foul.

 

[Bailey]

Remind me why backed off Law? DJW?

 

[Adnarel]

See, that's the kind of foul I like to see if you're going to prevent an and-1. Don't be polite about it, just hack and be done with it.

 

[Illini B-Ball Fan]

Goal tending?
