Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[Halloweenie]

We don't get anyone open..no wonder we don't score

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Disheartening.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Tillman hip checks Trent. Foul on us.

 

[IlliniFan1965]

Agree.

I'll be happy if they keep it under 20.

BS calls can take you out of your game. That last slap by Giorgi is stupid, but the guy is grabbing on to his jersey and the refs pretended to care with the last review.

I don't buy that for a minute. Calls have nothing to do with this.

We were overperforming, now we’re underperforming. Most disappointing is the effort and overall mental attitudes. Lots of tape to review from this one already. “Good“ for this season is somewhere around 6th in the conference and at least 10 get into the tourney.

IKR? Illinois always has such great home court advantage.

 

[JudsonFTS]

Wow. Kipper hook from nearly 10 feet.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I just hate how much Dakich is enjoying this beat down right now.

Dan "I'm telling you" Dakich

 

[RML]

Energy has picked up.

I know I’m ranting .... but we can not win any games missing this many free throws.... lol and horrible shot selections

 

[3DegreeIllini]

I really don't want to watch the second half.

Yeah I’m not mad that we’re losing. I just thought We were finally past The days where I’d turn games off early.

 

[CubsWin]

So many shots coming up short...

 

[Jon]

can't even hit free throws. at least we got 5 assists on 8 buckets?

 

[oldschool51]

Giorgi needs to sit the rest of the game...whining and has not done anything positive on either end of the floor. I think Brad will show he’s had enough

Maybe Underwood should bench himself, this is beyond bad

MSU is a wounded bear.

We are a scared rabbit.

I literally said the same thing lol.... cracks me up... I guess we play better when no one comes to our games ? Lol

 

[JamesB]

You forgot the missed free throws.

He is regressing unfortunately... I root for all of these guys whole heartedly, but between his dumb offensive fouls..lazy passes, missing easy layups, and getting bullied, I may start Griffin

Penn St. is the new Illinois.

There really is any facet of the game that the Illini are not doing very poorly tonight. You can pick any two and you would be correct.

 

[spillini]

Can we get that memory thing from Men in Black out for halftime?

 

[t7nich]

20 points. What an complete joke.

 

[BlueLeader]

We have zero right to complain about and ref/official. They could give us every call and wouldn't be close.

Watching his expressions and how he's stop talking, Underwood already gave up on his players tonight.
