Man, Underwood’s blood pressure has to be sky rocketing.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

Gross. Just gross.
Shoot even just a little better in the 2nd half and we win
Shot 20% from the field in the first half? Good plan!!!!
6-31 from the field in the first half. Wow
I hope we can get AG some looks. GB is yet to wake up. Kofi needs to learn from this experience and be able to deal with the pressure. That was a great cross court pass to Ayo he just missed it. Normally solid feliz has struggled lately.
Just stop. You're theory applies to Rutgers and Pikeil too then. It's a tough, physical game, by two big, long, physical teams. This is what you get. It's ugly, it's physical, it's what was totally expected if you did some research.
If there's one complaint, it's not finishing layups and dunks. That's been an issue in all our our wins and losses. All the coach can do is put you in a position to score. It's up to Kofi to jam a perfectly thrown alley oop.
They are playing hard on defense, so it Rutgers. They're struggling on offense. So is Rutgers.
Even game.
Need to get DMW out of there and it'll be fixed
..sarcasm for those who believe he is the cause of all offensive issues with Illini

19.4% fg in first half. Our shots are extremely poor quality. Trent needs to shoot if open..no matter how much time on clock. Need Allen in so we have two shooters in at all times.
GB needs to get shots but only in the paint. He and Kofi both missed bunnies all take as otten as we can get them. I do agree that GB is shooting too much outside of what should be his role. I wish Feliz would shoot a bit less and get more looks for AG. He has been our best shooter over the last few games and needs more and more looks
I agree. 10 shots in a half from GB is too much. He's not patient....rushes everything.

For all those people who say, "It doesn't matter if AG doesn't start as long as he gets starter minutes..." The first half, AG did not get starter minutes and was not in foul trouble and we need shooting threats. When he's not starting, it takes at least to the first media timeout to get him in. I say put our most dangerous lineup on the court from the start and let's get after it." (rant over)
They're on pace for 42. The game is what it is. Just like the Wisconsin game, have to play tough, play hard and make some shots at the end. Two very evenly matched teams, who win using the same style of play. That's what we're seeing.

You know what Illinois lacks? A guy who can consistently create his own jumper. Everything has to happen off of screens or other action. I was watching Brandon Paul highlights and he could create space and hit jumpers, which is something I haven’t seen in the last few years.
we are turning them over or we would be even further behind. Lets keep forcing TOs and win the game. WE get the ball first i think thanks to a hustle tie up by AG
Had to listen to the first half on radio. Two thoughts:
1. Sounded like a hideous rock fight, and I’m lucky to have spared my eyes
2. On radio, you can tell when Alan is in the game because you here his name every 12 seconds as part of the play. You can tell when DW is in because you don’t hear Alan or Damonte mentioned at all.
