I tried on Friday and they weren’t on. So I thought. Bummer. 

 

Friday,  for whatever reason,  had the station switch back to 1350 for just one game.

Zips can send help from whoever is guarding Moeller.  He has no interest in shooting the ball.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Holy ball movement. Eric moves into the high post to attack the defense, kicks it out to Hardman or dribble drives before a bounce pass over to Lyles who backs down his man before kicking it cross court to Shammah for the 3. Hang it in the Louvre.

The gerbil that powers their transmitter died.

Halligan getting some early minutes. I’m sure he’s earned it, but I haven’t really seen what his strength is so far this year.

He's a walk on getting early game minutes. The fact that you haven't seen a weakness is what's impressive. 

 

Side note: should've been an offensive foul on that 3. How you allow a 6'10" man to jump 4 feet forward on a 3P attempt is beyond me.

I would say halligans strength would be his ability to hold his own on D when called upon

[Reslife4Life]

Heat check! 

[clarkwgriswold]

You can see that teams are watching Evan's tape.  They're starting to back off of him on the perimeter.

[clarkwgriswold]

Finish the half strong.  Don't let them back in.

[Illini Zip]

Young has been struggling with his shot lately. 

[Illini Zip]

Halligan and Hardman were on the court at the same time and it’s not the end of the game. 

[Illini Zip]

Evan does a lot of dirty work under the hoop. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Barre in.

[Illini Zip]

Barre sighting.

In his eye!

[Let'sGoZips94]

Half this board needs to apologize to Evan for doubting his offensive abilities. 

[Illini Zip]

This 3 point flopping has to end. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Quiet half for Shammah.

Completely agree. These players are getting barely touched and fall down like they've been shot.

[Reslife4Life]

I feel like groce wont be too pleased with this half, I can picture the word “sloppy” being used

[Let'sGoZips94]

44-36 at the half. Not bad. 

 

I would like to apologize to Evansville for hating on them during the Oregon State game. They play hard. They'll beat a decent number of teams this year. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Commentator: "If you take away the transition scores Akron has had Evansville would be ahead."

 

Well, no $h!+.

Amani and Young as well.
