Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Illinois pulling away now. Unbelievable that 25 of Air Force's 31 total fg attempts have been 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Hahaha what a joke of a ref. Calls 6 men on the floor when Brian Randle steps one foot on the court to get around Dee Brown on the bench... Illini with a decent 9 pt win, was really 16 till some stupid s*** hit the fan. Great games from Randle and JAMAR SMITH. Bring on Washington/Utah State. headbang Edited March 17, 2006 by WHarris1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Besides some shoddy 3 point defense (a ton of those were wide, wide open looks) and some stand around offense in the 1st half, that was a pretty good game. How about Jamar Smith. That game got close so many times and Jamar just pushed Air Force away. If you are gonna continue moving in this tournament, that's the kind of game you are gonna need from your bench. Warren with a good game as well, i can't forget to mention that. If Dee can start making some damn shots, and we get an effort like that all-around, i'll be excited to see how far we can go. But it's gotta be all pieces clicking. Good game, see someone on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Air Force was by far and away the worst at-large team in the tournament and they had eight points in the paint, and no points from the bench and still competed until the end. I wasn't impressed with Illinois' performance at all, but then again, I wasn't impressed with Boston College at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Nice to see the future isn't as bleak as everybody thinks. However I advise our "great senior leaders" to actually hit some shots if they plan on playing much longer. Dee had a very good all around game, but make a damned shot. And Augustine came out of the womb with 3 fouls I think, ugh. Great work by Jamar, Warren, and Brian though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'll say one thing about Air Force, they go 110% every minute of every possession. They were still scratching and clawing with like 20 seconds left down double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna have to "bring it" against Brandon Roy. I think he's going to show up big going against an opponent that good, he has all year against high calibur players not named Daniel Horton. If Washington wins this game (still an if) I'm more worried about Augustine. Combine one of the dumbest players I've ever seen with trying to defend a smaller, quick lineup....and foul trouble is unavoidable.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Brandon Roy is on fire, 25 points. Washington is in a world of trouble if he isn't playing this well. Utah State still fighting though, down 8 with 4:06 left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Roy is just out of his mind tonight. But Washington is playing extremely poor defense this half, they should be feeling fortuate about how hot Roy is. Hopefully he's using up his great game tonight and cools off a bit on Saturday.
