IlliniKrush

Wilmont playing out of his mind

that's a f***ing terrible call

Brutal turnover when we had a chance to cut it to 4...cmon Dee

It was kind of a 2 on 1, and he pulls up to shoot

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) By the way, while we're all here, what was the last update on D.J.? Is there any chance he'll be back this season? Last stuff I read seemed like people had no idea how long he'd be out. I thought 4-6 weeks at best, but possibly out for the season, but surely an IU guy knows more

Pruitt having a nice little game

IU up 9, and we're just chucking up 3's...why is randle shooting that

Wilmont has 13 Vaden and Marco haven't really done anything to hurt us, something i thought would definitely happen

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) Enjoy the 2nd half.... see you all after the game. I am going downstairs to watch the finish. Enjoy. I have to leave right after the game, so i won't be around.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) I'm not condoning it, but he is not the first player to ever throw an elbow in a game. He is an intense player and he will fight for his territory inside. Give Illinois players credit for harassing him big time in the first half. This is no excuse for the elbow, but your guys caused it by playing him hard. Consider it a compliment. If it doesn't repeat itself and he holds his composure, then I will consider it an anomaly. Agreed, i like irritating him, letting him throw elbows/balls. Take him out of his game a little bit if we can.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) Defense is what got IU back in this game. I expect a dogfight in the 2nd half. IU needs to protect their home court and win against a great team. They need this win more than Illinois needs it, but the Illini certainly aren't going to lay down for them. Great game. Two very good if not great teams. Doesn't get much better than this, does it boys??? If this game goes to the free throw line at all, we lose. It'd be great to steal this game. Just give yoursefl a chance, be in the game with 5 minutes left and go from there.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) The foul count in the first half was 10-7, Il/IU. Not totally even but it is @ Indiana...and that's not anywhere close to the refs "not letting you play". I was at an OSU/IU game where there was like twice that number. That's not letting them play. I'm not b****ing about the foul calls. Maybe 1 or 2 were kinda s***ty, but us in foul trouble, especially Augie, isn't anything out of the norm. We are on the road. I just expect it to be somewhat fair, and it has been thus far. Though the no call on Marco for throwing the ball, that's inexcusable.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) Im a raging IU homer.. Whenever were winning I go nuts. f*** the s***ty Illini!!!!!! And apparently 8 years old

Dee with a big 3 to pull us within 4 at the half.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) Is there much of a doubt who has the better team? A 4 point game at half, CLEARLY THERE IS NO DOUBT Especially at home.

Well, this is getting ugly. IU takes a good lead, like i predicted.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) KWorth dont take s*** from none of these Illinois pussies. too bad Pruitt is worse at FT's than him Yeah, he throws elbows. That's real tough Edit: He also throws the ball at people.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) Illinois is bad Do you have a newsletter?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 06:38 PM) This game is tied and we're shooting 28.6% from the floor. What are we shooting?

We had our chance early to get a nice big lead, and didn't do it. Now the offense is back to being terrible...IU likely to take the lead from here

Not one drop of alcohol for any of those 3 games.

Marco throws an elbow, intentional foul. Edit: Pruitt misses both.

We're back to playing "Dee holds and shoots with under 5 on the shot clock"

Tied 19-19 just under 5 minutes left

Here's the Illinois offense we had at Iowa...it's back
