Riley looking like TSJ out there on the fast break haha

 

[LoveLovie]

I’m having a great time!

Remember the old days finishing the game with 60 or less

BU got some good young guns. I know it is EIU but like what I am seeing....alot

 

[abchew2]

I could watch Riley shoot threes all day. So smooth.

 

[zentrails]

Looks like he tweaked his ankle. Hopefully it's day to day

Landed awkwardly, didn't land on anyone's foot, just on the floor, thank goodness, hopefully just a minor tweaked ankle

Booth could be a real X factor as the season winds on

He looks faster than I expected (if not quite TJ lol)

Can we not call players “underwhelming” or “miscalculations” when there has only been one half of basketball played? Lmao

New to the game thread? Can we project guys as 'first rounders' based on that half?

 

[Illini4Christ]

We may score 115 points lol

 

[Illini8420]

Pretty clear we have a ton of talent on this roster. We will have struggles but I'm excited about what this team could become by March.

 

[New Creation]

We might hang 100

If KB stops turning it over.. Gesh. That’s the one eye sore. He is very loose with the ball

 

[zentrails]

Landed awkwardly, didn't land on anyone's foot, just on the floor, thank goodness, hopefully just a minor tweaked ankle

And he's back on the court, great news

Good news..but why

DGL going crazy but still smoking a layup is so silly

What does smoking a layup being silly mean again?

 

[FloridaMan]

Play by play guy understands higher turnovers is bad right? lol

 

[LoveLovie]

Boswell 5 turnovers

Definitely not new, just was hoping the doom and gloom could wait more than a half lol

Flop

Illini currently outrebounding EIU 45-17.

Feels about right

Will Riley is a pure a$$ shooter.

 

[New Creation]

I like that we can actually shot free throws this year.

That’s nice.
