Need those rebounds from Lewis. That’s two in a row he should have had. Defensive has been great otherwise.

There should be a stat for balls that aren’t really rebounds but “gaining possession after a missed shot” because Marquette has none and Illinois has all of them

This looks so much more like Warrior basketball and I’m loving it

Wasn't it a travel on the rebound off the missed FT? Guy caught it (over the back) of Lewis, then went all the way down to the floor.

All things considered we are winning at half. Unreal.

Defense was incredible.

Gotta rebound second half cause I’ll be the mortgage they don’t have 15 TOs again.

Fun half.

wow weird game

MuggsyB · « **Reply #81 on:** November 15, 2021, 06:57:11 PM »

Two good looks, unfortunate we couldn't knock one down. Happy we're up 1 but frankly we should be up 10-14. Absolutely must rebound the basketball. Poor, poor, fundamentals.

Impressed with D, very disappointed with rebounding, struggling on offense as expected. Overall satisfied and liking where we are at so far.

Illinois really sucks.

Afroman · « **Reply #84 on:** November 15, 2021, 06:59:34 PM »

Absolutely love the first-half effort.
Rebounding is atrocious.

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #85 on:** November 15, 2021, 06:59:41 PM »

I expected the offense to be borderline brutal in November.

If come February it can get closer to passable. My optimism for the next couple years will sky rocket

This level of defense play will win us a lot more games than many here are expecting to.

MUeng · « **Reply #87 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:00:10 PM »

Some bad rebounding in spurts but holy damn, we're up at half. Keep the pressure up!

+1. If we do not rebound the basketball we will get blown out. Imperative because there is no way Illinois will kick the ball away 15 times the next 20 mins.

Solid scrappy D. Thrilled to be up 1. The prettiest part of the game so far is Greg Elliott in the nearly Championship Blue suit! Solid look.

DJO's Jaw · « **Reply #90 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:02:12 PM »

Still a ton to improve on, but a hell of a half all things considered

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #91 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:02:59 PM »

We’ve all said it many times already

But I really wish Greg didn’t do whatever he did.

Man his shot would be nice in a game like this

MUEng92 · « **Reply #92 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:05:27 PM »

@Matt_Velazquez: Popped on Twitter, saw a few tweets about the Marquette game that made me assume they were losing handily, checked the score and saw they are leading the No. 10 team in the country at halftime. Never change, #mubb Twitter.

Love it

Justin Lewis not going pro anytime soon. Needs work.

Pleasantly surprised to be in the lead. Time to start drinking.

brewcity77 · « **Reply #94 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:08:32 PM »

Great atmosphere. Lower bowl probably 95% full. Students are engaged. Very encouraged by this half. Though I'm guessing we'll get more than 8 minutes of Curbelo in the second.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #95 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:09:26 PM »

I like Frazier, Cockburn is obviously a difference maker, but I’ve never understood everyone’s obsession with Curbelo.

Adam Miller would have really helped this team had he stuck around.

Nice to see the true frosh getting chances and being put in positions to do things and get experience. Rarely happened under old regime which held back development and overall team success.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #98 on:** November 15, 2021, 07:12:58 PM »

BAM!! Thatta boy JLew.

Nice start Justin
