MU/Fighting Illini Game Thread

Huge swing Chase misses wide open 3. THeir frotch drills it.

TK keeps looking like a man

[CountryRoads]

Shots not falling but playing well

[TSmith34, Inc.]

They looked horrible.

Would be pretty embarrassing for MU to go into Madison and lose

It's pretty embarrassing to be a Bagder fan, but if they pick it up they still have an outside shot at the NIT

Kolek getting hammered on his drives. Refs not calling it.

[mugrad_89]

Allowing a bit too much dribble penetration.

[tower912]

Moreso to go to a MU board to troll.


But.... when it all you have...

[Goose]

Virtually every shot is a wide open look, fun to watch.

[MuggsyB]

Kolek has been terrific, the rest of our guys haven't played particularly well.   That said we're getting great looks and taking care of the rock.  It seems to me it's a simple as making open shots.

The one drive a few minutes ago, both the refs and I were shocked that Kolek didn't make the layup despite being pushed in the back.  Unfortunately, I was the only one that said "maybe it's because he was pushed in the back "

MU has one streak shooter and a bunch of other guys that can't shoot at all.

Maybe college basketball is really down this year, but this isn't close to a top 5 (or top 10) team.

In reality, MU is in the 20-25 range.

Surprised Oso is sitting. 

[Newsdreams]

Pretty high

Drunk

I don't think he's been all that great, but love the aggression when he got back out there

Come on dude. Give it a rest.

[PGsHeroes32]

Our fast breaks could definitely use some improvement in the 2nd half.

[MuggsyB]

Let's execute now. 

[Daniel]

We are playing a very aggressive game. I like it.  Illinois might tire out

[MUEng92]

I'll give #13 credit.  He crashed into 2 MU players and helped them both up.

Nice sportsmanship there, yes. 

[Goose]

MU will make 8+ 3's in the second half. Beating the paint in first half was a great coaching move. Second half they lay the lumber from deep.

[Judge Smails]

Wow

[MUEng92]

I'm starting to remember why Kolek was the Big East Player of the Year

[MuggsyB]

My goodness what a spin and finish! 

[mugrad_89]

Imagine if Tyler was playing on two good ankles - goodness.

[MuggsyB]

FK!
