Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Birdus]

This board is ridiculous. Nothing but complaining about everyone and the coach through most of the first half. There have been some bone headed plays by us but we are missing a starter. I think that our coaches are smart enough to figure something out, whether we execute it enough to win is up to the players.

RIGHT ON! Grandison smoked Iowa in the first game. He is direly missed.

 

[BRucks]

5 pts and 1 rebounds for our super seniors on their night. Look for Trent to break out this half

Gottem right where we want them.

 

[skyIdub]

Trent and Kofi for a full 20. Leave it all on the court.

 

[InDaAZ]

BU needs to play dietician and serve up a big bowl of Kofi salad for the Squawks’ second half meal.

 

[sully]

offensive foul on Iowa. I'll take it lets go!

 

[DeonThomas]

Nobody in foul trouble. Time to play as hard as you can in the 2nd half. No excuses

What? DaMonte (our best defensive player) has 2 and only played maybe 6 minutes in the first half. He's vital in the 2nd half.

Board is melting down cuz at one point we hand Hawkins at the 5, Goode, Melendez, and Podz all on the floor for 5 minutes. With a B10 title on the line!

 

[Illynois]

Atrocious call

 

[SuperMetroid]

Weak call jfc

 

[sully]

laughably idiotic foul called on Kofi God I hate Big Ten refs

(as I typed this Kofi with the slam !)

 

[FloridaMan]

With these first few calls I expect EVERY touch of Kofi to get called on our end!!!!

 

[HailChief89]

Box-out quit giving up easy second-chance points please.

 

[Ramrod2010]

I feel like we are getting killed on the defensive boards.

 

[Naborman88]

All the McCaffreys make me nauseous

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Atta boy, DMW.
Now let’s get a damn stop.

 

[sully]

3 from Damonte!

 

[DICKnaggie]

Now we are calling every tic tac foul....

 

[SoILL_INI]

Kofi with the double double

 

[spillini]

Ref show

 

[sully]

Can't stop Kofi!!! The crowd is hyped

 

[hiberto]

kofi should have like 10 drawn fouls by now

 

[dbeverly26]

Man, we've been miserable in transition today.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Energy! Finally.

This looks like the team fighting for a B10 title we expected.
