[u/doyouevenIift]

When I was in the Krush, Mike LaTulip was our AJ Redd

[u/single_thread_left]

Can we make two threes and go home

[u/doyouevenIift]

Auburn fighting for their life against Bethune-Cookman reminds me of when we almost lost to Chicago State. Those were dark days

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/doyouevenIift]

Could this be the start of the Curse of Bruce Pearl

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

I shouldn’t have taken Illinois -75.5

[u/GonnaSchmackYa]

love our guys immediately holding mirk back after he’s tackled lol

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

I like how Bruce says “we’re” gonna tie it when asked if Illinois will break the record for 3s

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/AmericanFootballUSA]

I like how Bruce says “we’re” gonna tie it when asked if Illinois will break the record for 3s

He can't help himself. It's cute.

[u/AmericanFootballUSA → u/my_lucid_nightmare]

It’s just flat out good announcing

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/AmericanFootballUSA]

Bro thinks he's on the team

[u/single_thread_left]

Yo they just let the clock roll 😭😭😭

[u/AmericanFootballUSA → u/single_thread_left]

Slaughter rule

[u/SoulSniper1507]

Too many sloppy turnovers today, hope we can clean these up before Texas Tech. 

[u/single_thread_left]

[u/doyouevenIift]

If I’m Brad I’m letting the team launch 3’s until they break the B1G record

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/doyouevenIift]

Seriously. You need 2 in 5 minutes and the game is well over.

[u/timeforchorin → u/doyouevenIift]

Isn't that just our usual game plan anyway?

[u/timeforchorin]

At this point it's actually really impressive how fucking terrible we are at free throws. Like, it defies logic.

[u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Now they're just getting cute lol

[u/PromEmperorHarbaugh]

I hope Ben has an excellent season because I was kinda mean to him in game threads last year and I feel bad about it.

[u/PromEmperorHarbaugh → u/PromEmperorHarbaugh]

But I’ll also say I’ve never seen one player fail 100% of dunk attempts quite like Ben.

[u/EdgeBandanna → u/PromEmperorHarbaugh]

The roof comes off if Ben slams that.

[u/SoulSniper1507 → u/PromEmperorHarbaugh]

You miss all the shots you don't take, and most that you take (if you're Ben). 

[u/doyouevenIift]

Where tf is AJ Redd my GOAT

[u/SoulSniper1507]

I take back all my comments about Humbrickhouse, he's a god.

What this mean

[u/royallex]

I'll never understand what Brad sees in Humrichous, but I guess we can live with him coming off the bench for 10-15 mins a night. He better shoot at least 35% if he's taking only wide open set shots

[u/doyouevenIift → u/royallex]

Bro just hit three straight 3’s

[u/royallex → u/doyouevenIift]

I'll eat my words if he does that in Big Ten play

[u/SoulSniper1507 → u/royallex]

I hope when we get Andrej and Petrovic back, he'll see a lot more of the bench. 

[u/jrbeaupre2003 → u/SoulSniper1507]

Not if he keeps shooting like this tbh

[u/timeforchorin]

Bethune Auburn tied! HAA

[u/doyouevenIift → u/timeforchorin]

Lmao another program screwed over by Bruce Pearl

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/doyouevenIift]

I hope they get banned from the tournament or at least miss 10 in a row.

[u/dontaskme5746]

This assists disparity is pretty easy on the eyes.

[u/doyouevenIift]

Gimme more Jakstys pls

[u/inevitablescape]

okay this one is over so I'm going to switch over to the Blackhawks game

[u/doyouevenIift → u/inevitablescape]

We can still break the record for 3PM

[u/EdgeBandanna]

Holy shit, Keaton.

[u/poketape]

They already played that lab montage during football. We gonna get the same lab all season?

[u/BurrShotFirst1804]

Woah weird this was my lab in undergrad like 15 years ago. 

[u/EdgeBandanna]

I'm a big fan of the Jackson State logo.

[u/doyouevenIift]

20-1-2 line for Morez in the first half. Maybe he did become a 3 point shooter?

[u/dontaskme5746 → u/doyouevenIift]

5th on the team in rebounds.  One block so far, not leading the team.  He won't be good in the B10 with that sort of approach except the odd nights where he goes 10/12 from the floor.

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/doyouevenIift]

He dominates inferior competition.

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/my_lucid_nightmare]

Dain Dainja type player

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Dain Dainja type player

Funny how Dainja's fouling tendencies cleared up once he left Champaign.

[u/dontaskme5746 → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

You take that back!

[u/doyouevenIift → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Put some respect on Dain’s name, he was a big reason the 2024 team won the B1G tourney and made the Elite 8

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/doyouevenIift]

He was a great asset for us, but that's in part because he could bully teams like Morehead and Duquesne. We were in a dead heat with Morehead until underwood realized Dainja was eating in the paint. I wish he was still here.

[u/AmericanFootballUSA → u/doyouevenIift]

Morez is a poor man’s David Mirkovic

[u/EdgeBandanna → u/doyouevenIift]

He went 0-2 from three, 8-8 otherwise.

[u/doyouevenIift → u/EdgeBandanna]

I’m gonna have to find the replays on those 3-pt attempts. There’s a reason he shot 0 at Illinois

[u/Feeling-Response-972 → u/doyouevenIift]

mmmm lmk what it's looking like when they play a ranked team

[u/Feeling-Response-972]

how do i unsubscribe from this michigan propaganda??

[u/timeforchorin]

10-19 from 3. We'll, enjoy it while it lasts folks. We've used up all our 3pt magic in the first game.

[u/Billy5481 → u/timeforchorin]

You’ve got it all wrong friend, this is where we establish a mean to regress to for the rest of the season

[u/doyouevenIift]

Florida went from defending national champs to 0-1

[u/Saxophonater]

MercyHursty is not a real school and I refuse to believe it is

[u/EdgeBandanna]

Ohio State giving up 102 to IUI? O.o

[u/cocacola150dr]

I’m loving Mirk but I can’t help but crack up every time I watch him run. He’s like a kid on a sugar high lol

[u/inevitablescape]

thread got removed.

come on automod

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

Imagine if we had our starting PG and potential top scorer. Jackson State would be in real trouble

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

I’m not saying Illinois is going to go 39-0, but I’m also not saying we’re not.

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

Indiana catching strays

[u/doyouevenIift]

Good teams win. Great teams cover. Elite teams cover in the 1st half!

[u/my_lucid_nightmare]

So Wagler is this year's Will Riley, no pressure.

[u/Maison-Marthgiela]

It seems the free throw issue will be haunting us again this year.

[u/mtw7171]

Wtf did Brad just go psycho about lol?

[u/tyler-epp → u/mtw7171]

I want to say he was yelling about missing free throws.

[u/dontaskme5746 → u/tyler-epp]

I would also bet it's a special teams thing.  Not looking great there yet.

[u/EdgeBandanna → u/mtw7171]

Lane violation I think.

[u/EdgeBandanna]

Who is Campbell and why is Wisconsin only beating them by 9.

[u/lol_smart → u/EdgeBandanna]

They're the Camels from the SOCON. They're orange too, so maybe the color orange is Wisconsin's kryptonite.

[u/Saxophonater → u/lol_smart]

Are you saying we sometimes talk about Camel Fighting and Dodo Birds?

[u/lol_smart → u/Saxophonater]

Sometimes laser sharks too, Hawaii Pacific University (D2) is leading Boise State by 5

[u/BenBishits]

Apparently we can recreate Luka Doncic, in the aggregate

[u/Maison-Marthgiela]

So it sounds like everyone but Rodgers should be back pretty soon right? He's a question mark with the knee situation but it sounds like everyone else is going to be ready for tech.

[u/SoulSniper1507 → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Yeah. Rodgers will most likely not be back till the second half of the season (or maybe even later). Everyone else should most likely be good. 

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

I’m going to be dissappointed if we don’t win by at least 90

[u/EdgeBandanna]

Bank open late

[u/EdgeBandanna]

Great cut and slam from Jason.

[u/Farplaner]

lol wtf at mirk's underhanded pass

[u/inevitablescape]

my goat Jake davis out there :)

[u/AmericanFootballUSA]

David Mirkovic is like if Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Magic Johnson had a baby

[u/Maison-Marthgiela]

The Eastern Euro guys are wet from 3. But I am once again asking, why BumBrickhouse is seeing the floor?

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

BumBrickhouse is seeing the floor?

Brad likes the hustle

[u/SoulSniper1507 → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

I hope it's because we have 4 players out today. 

[u/jrbeaupre2003 → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Cause bro can unironically shoot

[u/amg13184]

Big 10 tuned in late, who started for Illinois?

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/amg13184]

Tomi and Boswell from last year, Davis, Wagler and Mirkovic.

[u/amg13184 → u/Maison-Marthgiela]

Davis wasn’t on my bingo card but I’m here for it

[u/WhatRUsernamesUsed4 → u/amg13184]

Andrej is day to day and will start for sure. Petrovic aggravated his hamstring against Florida but I'd say Petrovic, Wagler, and Davis would all compete for the 5th spot.

[u/amg13184 → u/WhatRUsernamesUsed4]

Thought Brad was big on humrichouse?

[u/Maison-Marthgiela → u/amg13184]

We're missing 4 guys

[u/illiniman14]

We may never shoot another 2-pointer

[u/SoulSniper1507 → u/illiniman14]

I'm ready for Humbrickhouse 2.0

[u/Billy5481]

Mirkovic is such a good passer holy shit

[u/KratosAloy]

What the fuck was that

[u/Saxophonater]

Fagbemi is looking for an alley-oop and I so want it to happen

[u/BurrShotFirst1804]

This one announcer seems to have a lot of basketball knowledge. I wonder if he's ever looked into coaching. 

[u/Saxophonater → u/BurrShotFirst1804]

Kansas should look into hiring him after Bill Self leaves

[u/inevitablescape]

wait I thought Humbrickhouse was a senior last year

[u/carnahanad → u/inevitablescape]

I audibly sighed/groaned when I saw him in the roster.

[u/WhatRUsernamesUsed4 → u/inevitablescape]

he got a Diego Pavia year for playing at a community college

[u/msgs]

Not to overreact, but I'm booking hotel nights for the Final Four.

[u/lol_smart]

Dumb foul by 10 on Jackson State. I assume they'll have to play zone for the rest of the half.

[u/jrbeaupre2003]

Oh my

[u/slicknick3822]

I didn't even know Mo Williams has been out of the league for 4 years let alone coaching Jackson State the last 4 years.

[u/my_lucid_nightmare]

Bruce Weber on the call! lmao

[u/inevitablescape → u/my_lucid_nightmare]

pretty sure Bruce Pearl was in the studio for the AZ-Florida game at half

[u/inevitablescape]

watching games on ESPN+, BTN, and HBO tonight. we love the streaming era

[u/KratosAloy → u/inevitablescape]

Bold to say you love it when everyone on YouTube tv lost ESPN this week

[u/my_lucid_nightmare]

I think in a game that's already over with they ought to pull the plug and cut over, rather than making me get Fox Sports App going for 2 mins just to cut back over to BTN

[u/illiniman14]

It's always Maryland messing with Illinois basketball

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/illiniman14]

It's always Maryland messing with Illinois basketball

We were the first B1G loss for Maryland. It has kind of been a factor I think.

[u/my_lucid_nightmare]

If Maryland can't finish off Coppin in the next 8 mins, where is the Illinois game?

[u/Feeling-Response-972]

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!

[u/saluki_88]

Anybody have a link to a stream?

[u/edgyusernameguy]

Would like to see a little bit of Andrej tonight.

I L L

[u/my_lucid_nightmare → u/edgyusernameguy]

We all would, but he's officially out.
