*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneRulzzz]

That last basket they got I think tells how this is going to go. Unreal

 

[GlenviewIllini]

Is Illinois really this good defensively?

yes. but they normally do not try. Early season, yes...then horrific...then lately....spurts

 

[cyphoon]

Just get to half down 10 or less please. Figure it out from there.

H

 

[StLouisClone]

Rob jones is terrible tonight

I've counted 5 loose balls that Rob got a hand on but couldn't haul them in. The last one really hurt.

 

[CY88CE11]

Domask pushes Lipsey right in the face, nothing.

Two possessions in a row.

 

[cyfanbr]

50/50 balls bouncing IL way so far. Even good defense by us becomes a wild ball that bounces of the backboard right into their hands. Unbelievable.

 

[CycloneErik]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess no team has ever played 14 minutes into a tournament game without a single field goal from their starters.

@HoopsTournament has to be looking into that, right?

 

[NWICY]

Illinois is playing better D than I would have guessed.

 

[ghyland7]

hey, at least next half we get that basket. that means we get to have a deflected pass turn into 2 points, right???

 

[HouClone]

We are playing like crap, not getting loose balls, and "only" down 10. Could be worse.

 

[Cardinal2001]

It's laughable.. literally the luckiest break 'shot' I've seen all tournament

after gilbert poked it out

 

[Thomasrickj]

That last basket they got I think tells how this is going to go. Unreal

Everything is going their way. Absolutely gross that a nice deflection turns into a tip in for them.

 

[GTO]

Every 50-50 ball falling on their laps.

 

[cyclones12321]

Just when we get it going that bull **** shot falls

 

[CydeofFries]

I guess "booty ball" is really just forearm shivers

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Illinois is playing better D than I would have guessed.

Well at this point in the season it’s do or die.

 

[CYaeger]

just keep it within 10 until half

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Chill!! When we pull our heads out of our asses we'll be fine

 

[trevn]

Stan Van Gundy is not really good at this.

 

[madguy30]

One of the worst defenses we’ve played all year is making us look like *******

Ok are you watching the ******* game?

Do you know teams can tighten something up for a game especially with a lot of mismatches?

If ISU got some of these shots to fall what would that mean?
