B1G Tournament: Illinois vs. Michigan, BTN, 12:20EST Tip
Manuel is on BTN right now, telling about the decisions made by him, the B1G and the team. Manuel doesn't know what uniforms we are wearing.
Let's get this done, and smash our esteemed rivals. GO BLUE.
The AD is clearly emotional - this was a big deal, obviously.
I just read this as well while watching the gamecast. I guess given the circumstances JB may have felt it was better to get there and get the game out of the way ASAP so in the event they won they would have plenty of time to rest up before tomorrow's game.
Good to hear that our boys were eager to play, and classy of the other teams for their willingness to be flexible.
Huh Illinois? Take that!
Our seniors are showing terrific leadership, and they're having so much fun out there. Great to see!
Credit Beilein.
Does the inbounder get credit for an assist?
you would PAY for subs. I was ready to place my order.
Dang it.
Irvin is playing a great game at both ends - he's shutting down Hill on D.
when we traveled the midwest introducing the game of football at other midwestern colleges and universities. Today we're introducing basketball to Illinois.
Too soon
Gonna need Mo's three point shot tomorrow assuming we hold on here.
We're doing this without actually shooting well. Defense is keying the offense.
Michgan shot 59% in the first half. They were stroking it out of the box.
Yes, but that included a bunch of fastbreak points. From the perimeter we haven't shot well, probably not more than 30%.
Was 40-29 M, now 56-41 wiith 9:20 left.
Dang Mo is a bit off outside today. Good ball movement though.
5 turnovers for Maverick Morgan so far. I like this
Asking for a friend.
X is so great on D. These refs are fucking us so hard though.
1-10 from long range in the second half is a little ugly. Could be the tired legs possibly. Luckily the D is coming up huge!
We'd be up 30 if we could make a damn 3.
...what is the score and what is left on the clock?
@ 8 minute mark.
and Go Blue!
60-59, under 6 minutes.
He meant 60-49
*49!
They are pushing off so much and there hasn't been one call.
60-49, under 6 minutes.
Thanks for the correction, heart attacks averted.
I wondered about that flurry of points!
A little too one on one lately. And somebody stay in front of Abrams, please.
Go zone...that way you can stay in front of them and they kill time passing around trying to probe the zone.
Dang it Illinois, just put on some white collars and go home!
Good grief that guy must have half their points today.
Close to it: 23/55
I'm here for the "White Collar" beat down of the Illini
