Let’s go, Illini!

We'll either win by 20 or lose badly shooting 5/30 from three or something like that.

Exciting pace. Looking like a "first to 100 wins" type of game early on.

Could be worse. Don’t like the silly foul by KJ. We need his 20 points on 17 shots with 8 steals and 6 turnovers

Thankfully Boswell hit that 3, felt like we played too well to be only up a bucket or tied.

Good half. We're going to have to do it again. Slow down with the turnovers please.
Title: Re: Illini-Xavier 1st round

Xavier shooting 7/14 from three. That's why we're not up double digits right now.

I finally got the Illini radio broadcast timed perfectly to the game then when it went to the half it was time for the girls to go to bed. Daughter grabs the remote and turns the TV off. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The sloppy unforced turnovers just have to stop. Their defensive adjustment on the PnR really got us out of whack. Hopefully there’s a counter adjustment happening right now.

Xavier shoots the 3 well as a unit, can’t count on them starting to miss, as such would probably be better to not leave them wide tf open. Tomi and Morez together isn’t the answer in this game.

Hope we come out hot and put this thing away. Don’t want it to go down to the wire.

Seems like every time Humrichous comes in we stub our toe.

Every time it looks like we’re about to put them away they make a mini-run to narrow the gap.

Damn. When they cut it to 8-9 I thought we were dead in the water. That’s what watching this team has done to me. Good recovery to finish it off. Let’s go beat Kentucky.

4-5 starters in double figures, 2 with double doubles. Keep playing that way, we will be a tough out for anyone.

Post by: illiniray on March 22, 2025, 08:59:16 AM
Humrichous does what, exactly?

low turnovers, doesn't foul, blocks out, keeps rebounds alive, off ball defense, deflections, saves, occasional block or steal..streaky from 3 this season. 

I am not sure how to how calculate +/-, but ... 0

13:31  Hum in for Illinois  14 17 up 3
11:31 Hum out for Illinois 17 21 up 4
07:52  Hum in for Illinois  22 26 up 4
03:24 Hum out for Illinois 30 35 up  5

16:49 Hum in for Illinois  39 48 up 9
08:30 Hum out for Illinois 55 70 up 15
04:04 Hum in for Illinois  67 76 up 9
01:52 Hum out for Illinois 69 84 up 15

04:04 Hum in for Illinois  67 76 up 9
01:52 Hum out for Illinois 69 84 up 15

He's okay for occasional minutes when we need another big in there. He shouldn't shoot threes anymore.

Pretty damn good for the starters. We will need some bench points tho.

Guy I was sitting next to at the bar had a parlay with illinois -2.5 at the first half, needless to say we cheered loudly when kylan hit that 3 at the buzzer lol, he wound up winning the  5 piece parlay

Down 5 after that half feels fortunate. Last foul was unfortunate, Davis stumbled over Riley. Not sure why Davis would be in there, though.

We are SO lucky to be down only what we are...this could/should have been so much worse.

The ILLINI cannot I mean CANNOT play any worse in the 2nd half...we may have a chance after all. Good start first 3 minutes, no T/O's we will see.

Nope, I was wrong. We deserve to go home, I wonder what guards/wings will be in the portal for us to poach. We only need Big Z to come play with Tomi/Rez/Ben and him we will be set inside.
