Luke needs to improve on Defense. He is a liability guarding athletic 3's.. Love Harmon, gonna be huge.

Ty has looked really good so far. Abusing his man right now

 

[Illini8420]

Ty looks noticeably improved since last year

 

[Ryllini]

I like what I see out of TY. Transition d is soft. I like Harmons energy early. So happy basketball is back.

quicker to my eye

Really hope the fans keep up the boos for Hunty all game long.

Love the balance and the sharing of the ball so far! Deep group that will be fun to watch as long as they share the ball and stay away from hero ball.

Love seeing Ty exploit a mismatch that’s going to be there more often than not this whole season.

 

[RML]

Whew, we look pretty good. Let's see if we can keep this intensity up.

 

[Ryllini]

I see Coach Self got the powers that be to move the student section away from behind their bench

 

[hiberto]

hunter struggling and I'm loving it

He has lost some weight...

Great D by Sencire. Gave him nothing but a bad brick

 

[illini2225]

I feel like I'm being punished every time I have to watch us at the free throw line

 

[IlliniReb]

Interesting that a charge was called with the new tweaks to the charge/block

 

[eas23]

Its an exhibition and I'm sure they're just throwing him a bone, but hoo boy Andy Katz is awful at play by play.

 

[pruman91]

no foul limit today ....nobody fouls out per Brian B. and Deon.................interesting .......................

 

[Sutton_Place]

It's going to be a fun year.

Historically, Luke has been solid on defense. That said, he has definitely been a step slow tonight and is getting burned for it. Rough first 8 minutes for him

Compete with #1
Competency at PG vs a real defense
Shut down H-Dick

I hate that we insist on keeping the 1LL1NO1S jersey. Orange / White Throwbacks + Script as our primary jerseys, what's so hard about that?

 

[PopChampaign]

Sincere!

 

[Illini8420]

Coleman looks a little less herky jerky on his dribbling too. Good sign.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Love seeing that out of Sencire. Really good game for him thus far
