Thanks for the informative articles, @Richard Schnyderite. By the way, the basketball board is SO much better than the football board, which really should be called the OT board at this point. I love it here.

[Richie O]

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Lets hope for some good reffing today.

 

[FrankZ]

Please win

 

[RU Mike73]

Let’s go boys

 

[koleszar]

Illini hot from the start.

 

[Joey Bags]

What the hell is ESPN’s problem with us? Wasn’t even listed as an upcoming game on the app.

 

[bac2therac]

Young is totally out of control

 

[BillyC80]

Big board by Cliff!

 

[koleszar]

And another dagger. Down 8-0 already, they're up for this game.

 

[FrankZ]

Please score

 

[bac2therac]

what a terrible start...totally flustered and taking bad shots

men vs boys so far

its time to put Myles and Geo in

 

[Rokodesh]

Mathis drives me crazy

 

[RUTrack94]

Looking like sh!t

 

[BillyC80]

Damn, IL 2-2 on threes.

 

[Rokodesh]

There is no reason for Myles not to be in the game now

 

[JFK20]

What the hell is Cockburn still doing in college?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Omoruyi has to come out

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

UGLY

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Illinois bench making this a road game

 

[bac2therac]

RU seems strangely unprepared for the pace of this game

 

[BillyC80]

Need Myles and Geo.

 

[bac2therac]

There is no reason for Myles not to be in the game now

yep...this is a game you cannot pussyfoot around. Play your best against Cockburn

 

[koleszar]

Mathis hot today. Defense and offense.

 

[Rokodesh]

Ok Mathis

 

[BillyC80]

Mathis!

 

[tfio]

Ok ok ok let’s go!

 

[RUPartisan]

Yeah it totally doesn't matter that we suck at free throws.

Illinois bench making this a road game

 

[bac2therac]

you see when Myles was put in the lineup immediately it made everyone better. You got stops, steals, and made shots that is Myles presence changing the game

 

[Rokodesh]

We need to stop forcing bad shots

 

[koleszar]

Johnson has to win this battle they're matching Cockburn up with Omoruyi.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

For such a smart kid, myles really commits some incredibly dumb fouls

 

[JFK20]

Stupid foul Myles.

 

[PatrickRU92]

JY worth his weight in gold

 

[BillyC80]

New ballgame.
