Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[grantlab]

All respect to him, but I don’t need to see Andre Curbelo again tonight. His head is not in it. Prove me wrong, Dre.

If you asked me last week, I'd rather us lose to Iowa on free throws than Penn State on free throws. But let's go, guys. It's right there. Make the most of this drought.

No rebounds no rings. Let’s clean up the glass from here on out please.

Coleman is playing his guts out. I don’t know what game some of you are watching…

 

[bjp84]

Anyone else tense up when Curbelo has the ball in his hands?

 

[Ken]

Trent just missed that lob to Kofi

gotta make that pass ...

 

[WyattEarp]

Somebody get Toussaint some new shoes

He can have Coleman’s.

Good D, FTs, and boards...and we will win. 2 of 3 might not cut it

 

[ILLFAN67]

Curbelo is doing more to hurt us than Hawkins.

 

[sully]

About 8 minutes left...lets make it count folks. GO ILLINI!

 

[CogDog]

I’m pacing my living room. I pray we can tighten up and get a few shots to fall.

Would love to see RJ at the 2 and Monte at the 3. Belo just doesn’t seem in it tonight. Be a nice lanky lineup for us and we could switch a lot of screens

The balls not in his hands enough to be honest

 

[Deep]

Man.....we are playing tight

I'm a hockey fan, so would love to know his plus-minus.

 

[blife]

Belo please stop trying to do the spectacular. Makes me nuts

 

[DICKnaggie]

Love AC's potential, but I'm absolutely not ready to turn over the point guard keys to the team for next year. Way to unpredictable still. Glad we have him but nervous...

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Trent, you're 1-7 so far. We need you, buddy. It's your time. Make it happen and cement your legacy. You friggin' deserve this banner.

I hope in a really important game, Curbelo decides NOT to throw full cross court through 8 other players. Oh wait, this IS an important game.

Coleman is playing his guts out. I don’t know what game some of you are watching…

Amen. The game would not be this close without him.

 

[bjp84]

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

Way to stay positive

 

[IlliniForceOne]

The balls not in his hands enough to be honest

Because it’s being thrown to the other team?

 

[illini80]

Man could this team use an Ayo. Just don’t have a go to guy in these games. Hope someone steps up the last 5

Coach Underwood needs to let him know that he is a Fighting Illini and not a Harlem Globetrotter lol
