*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[StLouisClone]

Need to settle down and get it under 10 at halftime

 

[Walden4Prez]

Being within single digits feels like a win at this point

Except we aren’t

 

[cyfanbr]

Somehow we are hanging around, but will we have enough bodies to finish this game? Everyone is in foul trouble and is not even halftime yet.

 

[CyberJJJ]

Stop double teaming!!!

That is our identity

 

[DSM4Cy]

Not sure I've ever seen a player like Gilbert than can be so good and then the next night be so bad.

Deonte Burton, anyone?

 

[cyclonedave25]

Is it past Gilbert and Milan’s bedtime?

 

[helechopper]

Our dudes look nervous, not ready for the moment.

 

[madguy30]

How do you miss that badly with no one within 10 feet

That's probably why it missed so badly.

 

[cyatheart]

A track meet was exactly what ISU needed to avoid but they're doing exactly that.

I'm not sure if they'll get themselves loosened up around the rim in time.

Actually it's more of a half court game, very low scoring.

 

[cycloneworld]

Gilbert and Milan 0/8 with 1 assist.

 

[CloneLawman]

Bieber agreed with you. You’re better than that post.

Not much.

 

[ClubCy]

Illinois drives - rewarded.

Iowa State drives - yawn.

we have missed about 8 uncontested layups

 

[CloneGrad'16]

Keep it to within 7-8 by half and we're right in it. So frustrating missing all these layups and shots

 

[chadly82]

Keep it under 10 at half otherwise we’re ******. Idk what ward Milan and Keshon are doing. Keshon is acting like he’s scared playing his big brother

 

[drmwevr08]

This isn't as much fun as last weekend.

 

[CapnCy]

Jones three would have been huge.

We need to make a run before half (or keep them from one)

It's not out of reach...but HAVE to get the 50/50 balls, rebounds, and hopefully some of the ones that have rimmed out rim in soon

 

[ISU_Guy]

Illinois drives - rewarded.

Iowa State drives - yawn.

I don't know man. we are throwing up some bad shots. i don't think things are being called unfair. we just look like crap. we just need to keep it at 10 for half.

 

[ianoconnor]

Except we aren’t

Touche haha

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Our dudes look nervous, not ready for the moment.

We haven’t had anybody ready for the moment since 2000

 

[tim_redd]

I rather doubt Illinois wants it more.

Sure, but that's definitely how it looks after watching this half.
