Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[KCBassin]

Just refuse to make the easy play.

I hope that 4 point swing with the missed dunk isn’t the difference in this game

 

[illiram11]

Hawkins is doing the little things and competing. The dunk hurts but we will be fine.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

How are we only down 4????????

Kofi

 

[spillini]

That 4 point swing is going to hurt us in 8 minutes

 

[Rocky]

omg, the Hawkins miss .. shake it off boys, we got this

 

[grantlab]

How are we only down 4????????

Iowa has missed more bunnies than Elmer Fudd

Its time that Coach Underwood gives his annual "You're gonna be living in a van down by the river if you don't do what I coached you to do!" because its literally now or never.

imo we are a better team than Iowa and need to stop being so self inflicting.

Lets go ILLINI!

 

[RML]

Ild like to see us hit a 3 to get our mojo back

 

[skyIdub]

Trent and Kofi. Please.

 

[illini80]

8 minutes to figure it out. So many opportunities being left out there.

 

[LoveLovie]

Coleman is flat out killing us

He has 9 huge rebounds though. I know what you mean on the offensive end

 

[WeWillWhen]

This game is going to get decided in the defensive end.

 

[CharliedonSurf]

I feel good about this game. We are in it and haven't signaled Super Trent yet. T takes it over final 3

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

I am waiting for that Trent senior night heater. Now would be a good time for him to start.

Okay, okay. Here's the thing. We've played some low IQ basketball tonight, we've had some poor play on both sides of the ball, but we're down only 4 with 9 minutes to go. Play the defense you're capable of these 9 minutes and you'll leave with the championship. Just keep grinding

Or FT line.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Trent needs to make a showing offensively....now would be good.

 

[Rusty]

What game are you watching?

The game that Keegan Murray is 6-18 from the field with Hawkins being the primary one guarding him.

 

[illiniguy24]

If we’re going to miss dunks we’re gonna have to make free throws

True...true now to quote the old nike commercial "Just Do it"

 

[SuperMetroid]

Iowa trying to give it to us. So far we’ve politely declined

 

[RML]

Iowa is trying to let us back
