    Illinois matchup

    You’re comparing 2022 TSJ to 2024 TSJ? Interesting. Look up a picture of the two side by side and then get back to me. His game has completely changed since then. Averaging over double the points… I don’t think it’s fair to use those past games as a point of reference at all. That’s like...

    The fun part about this game is that this isn’t even the marquee matchup. King will be guarding TSJ I assume? How do y’all feel about that?

    I honestly think he’s playing lights out because of fans like this in the stands. He knows he’s on the biggest stage and that’s what everyone talks about when they hear his name because of the false allegations. He’s shutting everyone up but keep it coming . Looking forward to it. #1 vs #1.

    Respectfully, you haven’t seen a player like TSJ. He’s the best 3 level scorer in the country and has a first step like I’ve never seen before. When it comes to your double teams, not many teams play the 5-out iso NBA style like Illinois does.

    I just want to respect y’all. I’m not underestimating size at all. I loved Kihei Clark’s game at UVA and watched most of his games. Lipsey obviously isn’t THAT short, but he is undersized compared to Domask. You’re going to need to send a double plain and simple. I don’t care how good of a...

    Fair. However I think people are reading too much into turnovers. For example, Illinois had 17!!! TO @ Rutgers and still won by 18 and put up 76. Rutgers obviously isn’t near ISU’s level, but against Tennessee they only had 9 and put up 79. I think this game comes down to Iowa State’s offense...

    Orange. Cannot recall the last time we wore blue. Would post a picture of the uniforms on here but it is an ISU site after all.

    I’ll take the 5 inches and experience with Domask if that’s the matchup. You’ll NEED to send a double everytime down the floor if that’s the case.

    I've seen people on here say that Illinois rushes too much and tends to be turnover friendly. Lately, they've been very secure with the ball. To answer your question, I'd expect around 10-12.

    While I agree with the fact that your smaller guards will be feisty, I think Marcus will be able to get his way onto the block if no double comes. He’s been doing it all year with bigger defenders. However, he doesn’t start from the 3 point line, more like the 17-15 foot range.

    Marcus Domask is no stranger to a double team, as he, for the most part, is the only one on the team who likes to post up. Morehead State doubled him all game(literally like 17 feet away from the basket) and he ended up with a triple double. I’m sure they’ll be ready for that.

    Being a fan of this team on the defensive end has been frustrating. When they want to play defense, I believe they can beat anyone in the country. But sustaining that defensive intensity for 40 straight minutes has been a challenge for this team. However, a s16 game should give them all the...

    Coleman was a very inconsistent player up until this season where he’s found his footing for the most part. I personally think he’s going to be a great NBA player as he can guard 1-5 and can really stretch the floor. When it comes to Dain, Underwood couldn’t really play him in B10 play, as the...

    hey y’all. I respect the hell out of your program and your site. I think TJ is a hell of a coach and don’t know why the fans on our sites are just looking past y’all. I’m looking forward to our game tomorrow, and let me know if you have any questions about Illinois and I’ll be happy to try and...
