....

Minny starting tall timber, Sampson III and that Freshman from SD. We will need to rebound!

On pace to score about 8 points.

On track for a good baseball score.

Minnesota and Illinois shooting a combined 10% from the field.

A few threes from Trent could win this game.

Could be a good gut check game. Remembering @indiana 2004

We need to hit some outside shots. Those big guys are trouble inside.

Get keller out.

Guy has to learn not to shoot every touch when he's not open.

Legion will have a good night...

Bruce wearing white sneakers. What is the significance? Coaches for cancer, or something?

Haha...quick, lambast someone else! Easy 5 points for the Illini!

Yep.

This is a Legion type game. Need to get him going.

he also gave up 4 on the other end. Nice job on the o rebound put back, but throwing up a low % shot falling out of bounds is gonna hurt us more than help. 1-3 on silly shots inst good--especially since it's the excact opposite of how this team has been successful this year.

I like'em, but needs to play more in the floe of the o.

OMFG this game is ugly. Let's hope we can grind this out -- would be a huge win.

Score??? sniff sniff.... DVR has me screwed fro m watching the game...

Need McCamey more. 1 contested 3 in 10 minutes isnt gonna work at all.

and how was that no basket for tisdale?

We have to feel pretty good that we are only down 5...

13-6 Minny, you aren't missing much.

We need some new life out there, get some new guys see if they catch some fire its been awful so far.

This reminds me of the 1989 Flying Illini game where they lost at Minn to a mediocre
Minn team -- mainly because the Illini couldn't score to save their lives. :cuss

I know we've won 20 straight games against them, but it looks like the streak is ending.

These refs are starting to tick me off!

lots of home court cooking reffing out there. getting a little out of hand.

This is easily the worst homering we've taken all year.

FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL

They don't need baskets they go to the free throw line everytime down the court

What is that?

Brutal. Abu shamala just blantly travelled then rushed into into 4 guys gets a call.

Purdue was the worst, but with this has a chance to beat it.

Hell, let's put Bubba in. We HAVE to get it going. No idea what it is going to take at this point.

Oh boy, this is an ugly ass game.

Ed Hightower's inner voice.

We're not even running an offense out there. UGLY

Just not getting any bounces at the rims. Lots of decent shots, but no favorable roles. 5-23.

The one call where Sampson locked arms with Tisdale and danced him all over the court and then they called a foul on Mike was amazing.

Effin' Eddie Hightower.

He makes himself part of the game. He gets influenced by the home crowd. He calls "assumption calls" (ball blocked, must have been a foul, ball knocked away, must have been a reach in, one-on-one drive, must have been illegal contact).

And worst of all, he does it all inconsistently.

well at least we just got one back there legion for sure fouled him on the shot clock violation

Then again, I think we got away with a mugging on that last one. If they keep calling the game like this it won't get into the fifties.

Let Tisdale put it up every play!

I'm impressed with how he's getting doubled and mugged and still scoring. Add some strength and he could be really tough.

Legion is brutal. Why is he in over McCamey?

Legion hasn't been shooting very well recently, this would be a great game for him to break out.

That last possession was just about right.

What a heinous half of basketball.

5 years in the program?

lol nice senior play by Brock to end the half.

I think I'll just dribble around the perimeter with 3 seconds left.

What the heck is Brock doing!

This is awful, surely we will pick it up in the second half, usually we slow down then maybe we will pick up this time after a slow first half

Ugh. That half reminded me of the offense my intramural hoops team in college ran (the aimlessly pass around and dribble and then chuck up a brick offense).

3 guard offense with only 1 shooter and Trent again losing his ability to get open in Big 10. Not good.

I understand playing Legion but he is lost. Mike Davis needs to step up; we shall see.

At least we are only down six after playing so bad, to look at a positive.

Huh?
