That was a fast-paced half.
Title: Re: Illini at big O tonight late!
Post by: Miles Leonard on January 02, 2025, 10:03:31 PM
45 points in a half vs #9 on the road, and KJ didn't score a single point.
Title: Re: Illini at big O tonight late!
Post by: Somewhere in Mn on January 02, 2025, 10:04:56 PM
Do that again.
Big half for DGL and Jake from State Farm.
Title: Re: Illini at big O tonight late!
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on January 02, 2025, 10:06:54 PM
Bench outplaying their starters damn near....Davis will be our garbage guy, good nose for the ball. DGL ballin out keep taking it to the rim little fella.

Kaspar hopefully has a big 2nd half, and Rez looks a little out of it so far...no fluid minutes. Biggest surprise may be Humrichous and his defense so far, he fell asleep one play but had some deflections/block/steal...who knew, B1G daddy Brad maybe?

C'mon ILLINI B1G 2nd half and welcome Oregon into the league proper...loss at home, road win B1G for ILLINI, and against a Top 10 team to boot!!!
Title: Re: Illini at big O tonight late!
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on January 02, 2025, 10:08:17 PM
Love this...scoring leader, probably only time this will ever happen to Jake...

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard

40% + so far from 3 and we missed some easy ones too. C'mon Kaspar!

7 turnovers already though, track meets foster that though. I will take another 45 but add in Kaspar for another 12 and we will get this!!!

Seems like we fed off the energy of the bowl win. Humrichous finally showed up. Jake Davis and DGL were awesome. This had the same feel of beating the shit out of Michigan in Ann Arbor without Ayo during the COVID year. Goddamn inject this fucking shit into my veins.

That's kind of impressive.

After digging ourselves out of an early 5 point deficit and only having 2 points at the under 16 media timeout. 😂😂😂

Thoroly enjoyed the whole game and the fishwrap, surprisingly, did have the score. That was it.

A New Year's Eve bowl victory, going in as 10 point dogs, against a top 20 team and then hoops heading west to run a top 10 team off their own floor.

So that was an asskicking. Hard to take Oregon as a legit top 10 team but wow is it nice to see the offense work like that, particularly with Ben H, DGL, and Davis contributing as they did.

Post by: Custard on January 03, 2025, 11:07:50 AM
When Self was here and we were ranked pretty high we took an L like that against IU, on the road though I believe. They couldn’t miss from 3, I remember them making 17 that game. May not be an indication that they suck—we shot 55% from 3 on 29 shots. That’s demoralizing. They weren’t ready for our pace and spacing. Brad must have seen something on film because we were pushing pace so hard that Davis threw an inbounds pass out of bounds because the other player wasn’t even looking yet. 🤣  Once they cut it to 12 from 23 Boswell hit that long three and they just gave up.

Post by: Custard on January 03, 2025, 11:16:39 AM
I found an article about that IU game I was thinking of, pretty similar rankings and results, and that was a good Illinois team. It was at Bloomington though.

I’ve had a $198 Illini 1/4 zip in my shopping cart for a month, couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger on it. After a couple of barrel proof bourbons and that ballgame last night I couldn’t check out fast enough. Hope it doesn’t suck.
