We win 81-79

I’ll take it

 

[plantcity3]

Why wouldn't we put any players on the block to contest the rebound?

 

[scane]

Great win. That version of Lykes and a vintage Coach L performance is a pretty good combo.

 

[Canesmia01]

We are Building Champions!

 

[HurikaneMarc]

A road win too! A they got some home cookin from the refs

 

[CTCANE]

Why wouldn't we put any players on the block to contest the rebound?

and possibly commit a foul? Why would we?

 

[jmandel9]

Why wouldn't we put any players on the block to contest the rebound?

because you don’t want to risk a stupid foul. That was the right move

Because a moron may foul.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Never a doubt

 

[scane]

How many points does Lykes end up with if not for that ridiculous tech?

This is way weird... Did Nysier go in the lineup tonight? Per ESPN:

The Box Score also showed him "in". Then again, its ESPN (they don't even have the final score accurate.)

Noticed that too; its wrong. ESPN does that a lot. There's been a couple games this year where Herenton shows up in the box score despite having not played. They usually fix it when the official box score comes out.

That was a nice surprise. Illinois has a lot of talent and is expected to do well in the Big 10. To blitz them early vs how we've looked vs other good teams was impressive.

We aren't a good team, but if we don't suffer more injuries we still might have a shot at a NIT bid

 

[CTCANE]

Everybody keeps killing Rodney but he did pull down 2 whole rebounds tonight, one of them he dunked home.

This is the kind of game that makes or breaks an NCAAT berth.





For Illinois.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that we won, but did anyone else think that, outside of ****burn (still can't believe that's actually his name), Illinois' roster kinda stinks? They didn't have a single guy who could consistently beat us off the dribble.

Bahahhaha

Walker played 23 minutes?

 

[tcgrad1014]

I didn't see Walker at all.
