Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[Hummus]

Samba's inexperience just showed; he should have rolled off that pick. And yes, AJ has turned into an elite rebounder.

 

[Cook]

I am at a total loss as to our rotation decisions. Where’s Griffin? Why Adonis before Samba? Why any Tyler Underwood?

especially when we're trying to speed them up as a game plan, yet we play our slowest, most unathletic players with two better options sitting on the bench for no reason

 

[Steelyunk]

Good things happen with samba kane

 

[Spoon House]

Bad Kipper makes his appearance.

 

[ole 99]

Our defensive scheme doesn’t work... dunks/wide open shots after our pressure gets beat everytime

 

[BananaShampoo]

Man some bogus calls on us.

 

[Steelyunk]

Ok with that on kipper. Keep doing that.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Regardless what posters say, TU should not have seen the court tonight. It was not in any way necessary. He is simply too slow of foot to guard most college guards...as is plainly evident. And Giorgi cannot be allowed to fire away from behind the arc. He is a poor arc shooter and has proven that...not worthless but poor and is far more valuable passing from there than shooting.

Horrible charge call. Horrible. That was Tilmon’s 4th and they didn’t want to call it

 

[Hummus]

Frazier channeling Andy Kaufmann?

Keep driving on Tilmon, please. Let him pick up his 4th and take a seat; that will derail their offensive adjustment.

Yep our D is terrible.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Eh, y'all see Rick James sitting behind the Mizzou bench?

 

[BananaShampoo]

Trent is our savior.

 

[Steelyunk]

TEMPO

 

[Hummus]

Is it me or is Mizzou getting away with an extra step here and there?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Horrible charge call. Horrible. That was Tilmon’s 4th and they didn’t want to call it

50/50 at best. But I like the effort by Kipper

 

[GoIllini23]

Kane has made a big change to our def

 

[Steelyunk]

DO THAT MORE

Puryear and Tilmon both with 3 fouls. Now it is time to exploit this...anyone, please...

 

[GoIllini23]

These refs have lost their minds, I thought it was a foul on the def if any part of your foot is in the halo

 

[Steelyunk]

Play fast and we kill these guys. We’re playing their game.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Puryear and Tilmon both with 3 fouls. Now it is time to exploit this...anyone, please...

Honestly I am not certain BU knows how to exploit that fact....but they have to spread the floor and give Giorgi room to work in the paint...he knows how.

 

[Damir Krupalija’s Hair]

Ok time for a horrible possession in which Trent hits a quick trigger 3 at the end of the shot clock...

 

[BananaShampoo]

Dang AJ need to finish that.
