Illini BB

[dennehy]

If Curbelo gets back in shape, and he's got plenty of time, and they sty healthy, they can beat anyone. Not to say they will but there is no NCAA team this year that UI can't beat if they play well.

8:00 tip off at Mackey.

OK, Illini.
Let's do this!!

 

[Urblock]

Illini by 17. Kofi hits 40

 

[ytsejam]

Illini can't shoot for shit tonight. Ugh!

 

[TL1961]

As the Dan Akroyd character Leonard Pinth Garnell would say, "That wasn't so good now was it?"

We will see Purdue again. Hopefully in the Final Four.

 

[Urblock]

Illini win again. They need to stop fucking around.

 

[ytsejam]

Hoopball tonight!
Oskie rawr rawr!

 

[dennehy]

Win tonight really puts UI in the driver's seat for the BIG title. Tough to win at Rutgers and they are playing well. Need to keep Mulcahy out of the paint, he has been their best player during their current run. Hopefully UI can get it done.

 

[ytsejam]

Illini playing shitty.

getting our ass handed to us today. the 3 isn't falling. They're open looks too

 

[TL1961]

Started the night with Kofi scoring every time he touched it early, and they didn't try to get it to him.

0-13 to start from three and wouldn't go inside.

Worse than that, defense and rebounding have really fallen off lately, and that's mostly hustle.

Coleman Hawkins being on the floor usually leads to a lot of points for opponents. And Williams has just been abysmal lately.

 

[dweebs19]

I'm ready to see if they can start Melendez over Williams.

 

[Urblock]

Hell of a game last night vs Ohio St.
Coach got kicked out.
Kofi fouled out
Lost 83-86.

 

[ytsejam]

That was some Oskie Bow Wow shit.

 

[TL1961]

Well Michigan State did their part taking down Purdue but Rutgers could not get it done as Wisconsin wins another close game as they seem to be doing every day.

We now need Purdue to win at Wisconsin and Illinois needs to win out. But at this point I don’t have much confidence Illinois can do that.

 

[ytsejam]

Coach go boom!

 

[TL1961]

Big road win today. Couple that with huge tOSU loss and it’s a good Sunday.

Need Purdue to knock off Wisky and need to hold serve at home for two games.

Star recruit Ty Rodgers leads powerful (Harvey) Thornton against upstart Lemont in 3A sectional final at Chicago Hts. Marian Catholic, 7 pm. If goes as planned, could be epic match at UIC supersectional Monday 6 pm vs. tonight's Simeon/Hyde Park winner. Rodgers is a dynamo at both ends of the court, I'm already looking forward to what he will do in Big Ten play.

 

[Urblock]

Illini looking good.

 

[TL1961]

Illini finish atop the Big Ten for the second straight year.

Yes, that’s right Michigan. Second straight year.
