*****GAME THREAD (JIMMY V. CLASSIC) - #2 TEXAS vs. #17 ILLINOIS*****

[Sirhornsalot]

Knocked Cunningham 10 ft.  No call

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Okay, that was pretty

 

[texbound]

I wish Mitchell handled the ball better or had a reliable outside shot.  If he develops those then sky is limit for him.

 

[Johnny Depp]

We miss 3 layups, but we can dunk…

this game should… be out of reach

 

[Baron]

Illinois has only scored 9 pts in second half

That changed quickly. Four points in less than a minute.

 

[texbound]

Take it right at Danja and get him out of the game.

 

[UT1983]

Illinois not going without a fight.   Finish Texas! 

 

[General Hooker]

Great timeout by Illinois! 

 

[Johnny Depp]

Ot. Damn. 

 

[texbound]

Horrible last play for a shot.  FTs baby.  Hunter makes one or both and this game is over.

 

[texbound]

Dammit, falling apart in OT

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We need to get hot

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I think thats game. We can't make a shot for turning it over.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Can't believe Cunningham is our hot guy in last two minutes

 

[UT1983]

Illini probably going to win but they sure had to fight for it. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Well chit

 

[UT1983]

What a lousy time for a turn over. 
 

Hopefully Texas learns from this game and continues to play great basketball down the road. 

 

[Johnny Depp]

?‍

A nice dose of reality before conference starts. 
Illinois earned it. 85-78 

 

[UT1983]

Damn.  I sure wanted Texas to win that game.   Fortunately lots of basketball left to be played. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We should have put that game away. We need to find our shooting.
