Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

have a hard time buying Minn isn't a top 25 team

Just need to get Kipper to attempt some threes and we'll be right back in this

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

First 7 seconds... Got it, coach.

We tripled our score between 12 and 10 minutes left. If we keep tripling our score every 2 minutes, we'll score about 43 million points and probably win.

I want to see one of our player pissed off. Where is the emotion?

 

[ejam21]

stuck at work and just checked the score.....whoa.

Are we just missing everything or are we running crap offense? or both?

I thought I had seen everything with Illinois basketball, but I don't remember ever seeing a game where the offense was this bad.

 

[JJE]

Kipper is 0-4 from 3. Why on earth is he being allowed to shoot the ball. 1-7 overall right now for him.

IT IS ABOUT TIME

Wow, just wow. I didn't think a team could play worse than they did last year against Wisconsin. This tops it. Abysmal shooting. Totally outclassed on the inside. This is the 1st game they been really blown out on the inside. And of course everything is a foul for Illinois.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Need to get this down to about 10 by halftime.

I have an easier time buying that we are one of the worst teams in the BIG

 

[chief78]

every touch foul being called on the Illini....say what you want about officiating, but it does affect the game when it is so one sided. I'm sure Frazier was bullying the gopher big on that last call....

 

[Deleted member 29907]

watch a replay of that call on TF - i mean come on refs. This is getting ridiculous - time for the coach to light up the refs.

 

[Sizzler22]

I will say this, they don't match up well

 

[schlagboy]

Not watching. Yahoo sports says Lynch and Murphy are 6'10" and 6'6". That doesn't sound like freakishly large. Is it correct?

Must be an optical illusion and they are just playing like giants. They look huge out there.

Paging Mark Alstork....if there is a game to turn your offensive game around this season, this is it. Green light all night, I would like to see him shoot 15 shots and make this game competitive.

Illini shooting epic low percentage in spite of good shots. Minny blocking every effort inside 12 ft. They are not hitting from outside either, just getting every rebound.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

perfect storm of bad shooting by us, Mason going off and refs hating us.

 

[MakesNoSense]

Could? Will be if we can't hit and can't get calls

They are not going over the back. It's not over the back when you are taller jump higher and go straight up.

these things arent mutually exclusive

 

[hoopsfan47]

M&Ms getting it done....Mason and Murphy. Murphy playing like he is alone under the basket.

Lynch is usually listed as 6-9. Big bodies both of them have real long arms and quick off the floor. Both of them very strong.

Jesus, i'd rather watch AJ launch from NBA range.
