DMW!!!!!!

Put these pipsqueaks away

 

[Illini_Jack]

How huge was getting Plummer this offseason?

 

[FloridaMan]

How about just burying them after this TO? Let us relax before the SB tonight?

 

[DeonThomas]

Not much to complain about so far.

 

[Epsilon]

Finally getting some home cooking from the refs. Might be a first?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Not much to complain about so far.

But these game threads are wild, so I'm sure there will still be someone saying something lol.

Live by the three, die by the three. When it's going down, fun to watch.

Side note: One reason I’m really optimistic going into February and March is Trent has been uncharacteristically cold from deep, and I definitely don’t think that will continue. When everyone is hot shooting, how do you beat us??

As has Jake… and yet we’re still a great three point shooting team

 

[pruman91]

R J coming in after the timeout......how bout another 3 R J .....make pru and NL # 3 happy .....we are doing shots again on every Illini 3.........

Jose Cuervo ........yummy

 

[DeonThomas]

Extrapolated, we win by 48.

Acceptable and expected.

 

[logjam]

Freshman should get some good minutes 2nd half.

 

[FloridaMan]

Offensive?????

 

[madillini4]

these refs are brutal

 

[FloridaMan]

Here come the stripes........JFC

Omar, I want to show you love. Please put your hand straight up in the air and build a solid wall. we need you with your 15ft. Wing span.

 

[Jon]

Cue scoring drought

 

[illini80]

Did Belo take a shot to the head early on a rebound? Seems a bit off since then to me.

Nvm. Plummer don't care

 

[Epsilon]

Clearly spoke too soon.

Edit: so many hacks on Kofi.

 

[DeonThomas]

15 point lead at halftime please - minimum

 

[IlliniBorn]

Bench Curbelo until he learns what playing under control is.

I mean, if that was a foul on Omar...then Kofi is literally fouled on every shot he takes.
