Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[sdfidaho]

GB should have 6 to 8 points. Playing too soft and missed his FT

GB and Ayo are not playing well

 

[wyckles]

We haven't had an offense since about half way through the first half. Turnovers and missed shots. Layups are gone too now.

 

[Kingo24]

Ayo has been shut down since the first 4 minutes

 

[Halloweenie]

Ugh, Giorgi so desperately needs to work on his handles. I cringe whenever he tries to drive with the ball.

He should not drive...he is not skilled enough to take the guys guarding him to the basket..post up and shoot jump hooks or shoot open 3 if they give it to him

 

[hooraybeer]

to win, we will have to make shots

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Doesn’t have to be pretty. Doesn’t have to be by a lot. Just win. This team can find a way. (But it would help if we could slow down Cowan, he is leaving Trent in his wake and creating all kinds of options)

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

We need Ayo to get going. 2 fir 9 n missed some great looks

 

[wyckles]

Feels a lot like the iowa game right now

 

[Illini in Indiana]

drive the ball to the bucket Ayo & Dre!!!! Get the zebras involved, it is a home game

 

[DB11Headband]

Time to go small ball-one of Kofi/Giorgi then Kipper/AG plus three guards should be the lineup the rest of the game.

 

[JSpence]

Give me feliz, griffin, and kipper RIGHT NOW. Giorgi and Ayo are ghosts right now

Yes. Ayo's fouls hint that he's off and not likely to snap back and take over.

 

[Halloweenie]

Leave Ayo in.. can't win without him

 

[FeelYourPaign]

3 fouls on Cowan
Need to take advantage

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Booger McFarland level insight right there!

 

[illini2002]

We need cowan to get in to foul trouble.. with him on the floor we can't win

 

[CogDog]

He should not drive...he is not skilled enough to take the guys guarding him to the basket..post up and shoot jump hooks or shoot open 3 if they give it to him

I couldn’t agree with you more. Nearly every time he drives he turns it over. Maddening.

 

[RedRiver24]

3 on Cowan, I like that.

 

[redwingillini11]

Can we buy a bucket down low?

 

[Deleted member 746654]

Game of runs.......ours is coming again

 

[Halloweenie]

They are shooting 53%...won't win if that stays up that high

 

[skyIdub]

All of a sudden we don't look tough. We look relaxed and overconfident or timid. Own the floor or get swept off of it.

 

[JSpence]

Game of runs.......ours is coming again

Hope so. MD has doubled us up the last 15 minutes of game time.

 

[SuperMetroid]

3 on Cowan. Let’s go

 

[AttentionDeficit]

Hit these GB!

 

[BMoreIllini]

They are shooting 53%...won't win if that stays up that high

To be fair, when the second half started it was 61% lol
