MBB at Illinois Game Thread
Yeah, I shouldn't be watching either, but I know there are others out there who are looking for punishment on a Tuesday night too. The good news is it's on the Cock and 10 total people will be watching.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:17 PM ^
Anyone out there?
February 13th, 2024 at 7:18 PM ^
I’m watching but not enjoying
February 13th, 2024 at 7:19 PM ^
Trending like a 30 point beatdown is coming
February 13th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
Wow, you called it
February 13th, 2024 at 7:20 PM ^
Jackson with a monster dunk!
February 13th, 2024 at 7:20 PM ^
OP starting game thread like
February 13th, 2024 at 7:34 PM ^
Haha accurate
February 13th, 2024 at 7:21 PM ^
I'm listening to the game online rather than being a Peacock sucker.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:21 PM ^
That Jackson dunk is gonna be the only highlight of this game
February 13th, 2024 at 7:22 PM ^
Pass down low to Reed. Automatic turnover
February 13th, 2024 at 7:25 PM ^
Reid sure likes travelling
February 13th, 2024 at 7:26 PM ^
Pick and roll pocket pass to Reed. Auto turnover
February 13th, 2024 at 7:27 PM ^
Outstanding pass from Washington III. Making up for that absurd 3 attempt hitting nothing but the side board
February 13th, 2024 at 7:29 PM ^
Feel sorry for OP. Let's play a game where we take a drink for each time we turn the ball over.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:31 PM ^
I'd be drunk by halftime
February 13th, 2024 at 7:31 PM ^
If nothing else I still love seeing the Big Mushroom.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:33 PM ^
Jogging back on defense
February 13th, 2024 at 7:34 PM ^
the box score is easier to watch, especially with road games. comments on here dovetail nicely.
obligatory go blue!
February 13th, 2024 at 7:35 PM ^
We like running that traveling play
February 13th, 2024 at 7:36 PM ^
Drink! courtesy of Olivier
February 13th, 2024 at 7:36 PM ^
Horrendous defense to go along with some of the best offense they’ve played in awhile
February 13th, 2024 at 7:36 PM ^
Perhaps guarding 0 from the line might be on your scout
February 13th, 2024 at 7:37 PM ^
Tray Jackson dunk https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/39520662
February 13th, 2024 at 7:38 PM ^
I turned it on. Peacock said “Coverage will resume shortly.” I couldn’t rewind (possibly user error, not even sure). They couldn’t even be bothered to have a commercial.
Turned it off.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:43 PM ^
It is horrible. Yes they have just nothing going on during commercials where it says that..and the rewind function is god awful..just rewinds and have to guess where to stop. At least on Xfinity you can see where you kind of want to
February 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
I tried one of the games on Peacock in December and couldn't figure it out. As a web dev pro I can tell you they need to launch their UX/UI Designer to the sun.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
Somehow even tho Xfinity owns Peacock, it is slower and harder to use. It is like they didnt spend the $ and just wanted to launch something
February 13th, 2024 at 7:38 PM ^
Don’t have access to the game on TV and am otherwise engaged, but I did want to encourage viewers to wear eye protection. I tuned into the Nebraska game late in the first half the other day and my eyes started bleeding.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:41 PM ^
The white dude from UI likes to go right and Llewelyn just leaves that wide open late in the shot clock
February 13th, 2024 at 7:46 PM ^
We may be in last place but we lead the league in free chicken nuggets given away
February 13th, 2024 at 7:47 PM ^
So #14 UM men's lacrosse defeated Cansius 21-5 in the home opener at the UM lacrosse stadium. They played all healthy bodies ...51 players!
Juwan take notice!
February 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
I know very little about lacrosse, but 51 players feels like an enormous roster.
February 13th, 2024 at 9:55 PM ^
It’s not. 10 players per team on the field at a time.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:03 AM ^
So that would put a typical bball team at like 25 people instead of 10-12. Football it makes since to have 50-100 because there are actually more like 25 starters between O, D, and ST.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:50 PM ^
0 three pointers made, 3 assists total in the first half,. That's hard to do.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:50 PM ^
Franz and Mo and potentially Houstan and Jett are playing on TNT
February 13th, 2024 at 7:56 PM ^
I'm going to see them play when they come to Atlanta in a few weeks. The Hawks are doing a special "Michigan Night" promo with co-branded Hawks / Michigan hats and opportunities to meet the players - very excited to meet Mo, Franz, and Caleb.
The last time they did this a few years back, my son got a basketball signed by Tim Hardaway, Jr.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:50 PM ^
Good thing this is a second half team!
February 13th, 2024 at 7:53 PM ^
They have no idea how strong our suckatude is in a 2nd half
February 13th, 2024 at 7:52 PM ^
Fun fact.
TReed is 50% from 3 this year (1 for 2 when running the red light).
cheddar is still upwards of 55%. he should come in and launch until he is below 50%. everybody else but one guard to help on d should crash the board.
losing to illinoiz should be avoided if at all possible.
February 13th, 2024 at 7:52 PM ^
Just some bad, bad basketball. This is ugly at best
February 13th, 2024 at 7:54 PM ^
We actually may be worse than Alex Drain said we were in his piece on this blog. Sadly!
February 13th, 2024 at 7:55 PM ^
Ohio at Wisky follows on Peacock. Hard to imagine but that could be uglier....
February 13th, 2024 at 8:10 PM ^
Yep, the top 2 FB schools totally suck at BB
February 13th, 2024 at 8:00 PM ^
Shannon has almost as many points as our entire team at halftime. That's not good.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
Oh this one is really ugly. Just checked the score. Don't have Peacock. No need to subscribe.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
northern lights possible in MI tonight (and tomorrow night). may want to knock the tv off the shelf for real.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:05 PM ^
Gee, based on the box score, I sure wish that Shannon kid was on our team. What would it take for kids like that to be interested in us?
What?
He was interested?
He committed here!?!
Why is he at Illinois then?
Our hoops season smells like almonds.
February 14th, 2024 at 8:08 AM ^
Almonds smell like shit?
I think it would've been easier to just go with shit in that instance.
