Game 20: Illinois at Michigan Open Thread

If the Big 10 insists on playing the conference tournament this year I hope they use some of the revenue to finally replace the song in their ad campaign. I feel like we’re going on 5 years now…

Yeah, I don’t get not playing Smith, unless it’s all the ORB’s - Illinois’ guards have 5 of their 7.

Juwan is also winless against Illinois, although the sample size is obviously small.

We’ll see what kind of championship mettle the squad has. Juwan gonna have them fired up for this half.

Man… Let’s see how the first four minutes go before we throw in the towel. Lots of negativity in here. :grin: They got it.

Refs are not calling displacement by Kofi, hacks by guards. So you gotta adjust. Focus on fundamentals - grab the ball with two hands and pivot with balance. Going to the hole, take it into their bodies. Haven’t seen any blocked shots, guys are hesitating to shoot. Be the aggressor.

We’ll be able to tell on that first loose rebound opportunity.

We need to stop checking at 3/4 court. Their guards get downhill too easily

I think the 2H will be pretty even but we won’t shave much off the lead. Illinois brought a fantastic gameplan tonight. Credit to Underwood
