***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[drewhaus7]

7 man rotation with foul trouble starting to show now...need to get out of this half ok

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Grove's second one was ridiculous. The ref waited to see that the shot was missed and then called it.

A very late whistle that’s for sure. Even the next one was a little ticky tack. Gonna have a few of those go against, but just survive til JCJ can come back in!

 

[howeda7]

Illinois time keeper still cheating. Trying to give them the last shot.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Johnson chose Grove.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Grove our new Sam Jacobsen!

 

[GringaGopher]

Love the smile on Groves face

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Is Turner hurt?

 

[howeda7]

Is Turner hurt?

No. Buried in the doghouse.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Grayson “White Lightning” Grove at it again!

 

[Gopher Ally]

When or is Omot ever going to play? Can’t stand the secrecy

 

[Unregistered User]

4th total foul by illinois

 

[howeda7]

This is likely a replay of the Purdue game, but hopefully we keep it closer.

 

[stocker08]

Underwood sucks. I've hated this guy ever since he became the coach of Illinois.

 

[GringaGopher]

Underwood is “ stunned “ @ the obvious contact foul, lol.

 

[LesBolstad]

Jess Settles- Iowa, but not a dink

 

[UpAndUnder43]

No. Buried in the doghouse.

Bizarre he doesn’t get any time at all. He’s at least physically big.

Wonder what he did.

At pregame buffet before Wisconsin game- coach said no injured player was coming back this season!

 

[BarnBurner]

Johnson chose Grove.

Grove chose Niko.

 

[BarnBurner]

When or is Omot ever going to play? Can’t stand the secrecy

Had another surgery supposedly.

 

[Jack jones]

What is it 10 free throws versus 0? Someone should tell Niko that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

[Hubie29]

Illinois has already played 9 guys

Gonna enjoy the season, but looking forward to some depth

You never know what your depth is going to be from year to year with the transfer portal. You need depth at the beginning of the year.

Great half. Game 7 in the Big Ten and playing our 4th(?) ranked team and we have had only one half of basketball that we were not competitive in- the second half at Purdue. This is all we could ask or hope for in year 1.

Bizarre he doesn’t get any time at all. He’s at least physically big.

That’s the problem

We need him to be emotionally big

Our luck, three starters out for the year. In every game except Purdue with 6 players, remarkable

 

[howeda7]

He's emotionally small?

 

[howeda7]

Go back to the zone.

 

[GringaGopher]

Need Durkin 2 heat up

 

[howeda7]

Need Durkin 2 heat up

And Tyson

 

[GoodasGold]

Must be a college graduate running the scoreboard in Illinois. Can't give the points to the correct team bad!!

English major.

Underwood is “ stunned “ @ the obvious contact foul, lol.

We need this kind of coaching clout so we can ride the refs to get the whistle the likes of him and Izzo for example.
