Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[thehass]

We can't seem to find our butt with both hands.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

We make every layup we miss, what’s the score?

 

[stlillinifan]

Lovie and Northwestern...

Now this. No excuse

 

[BananaShampoo]

Naw.. Penn state Game was worst... Remember???? "
Nittany Lions Stun No. 16 Illinois in Low-Scoring Battle, 38-33

That's why I said HALF. Referring specifically to this half.

Approx 120-53 right now.

I was at that game!

Just go back and watch the pre game interview videos and listen to the lack of emotion about this game from Ayo, Giorgi, etc. They are not into this game AT ALL.

Zero emotion, terrible effort, terrible shooting.

If you need a friggin' head coach to get you up for this game.....it's 100% on you.

Fine. Don’t fire the coach. Fire the guy that recruited those players. Oh wait...

 

[Halloweenie]

At least he ran something to get Griffin a shot

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Lol. Do we ever practice the press? That was pathetic.

 

[bert1991]

And Griffin is our "shooter"

That's fair..

 

[jrod1286]

Done

 

[illiniguy24]

Boy do we suck at offense

Yeah, I don’t see why this is the coaches fault.
The players are the one’s playing like they partied all night and are hung over.
They also deviate from the coaches game plan sometimes when they’re losing or a team disrupts them more than normal.
I guess underwood could sit all the starters, but not since Brad Stevens have i seen a coach sit all the starters for playing under par.

Down nine with 3:00 to go, we're in the double bonus -- this should still be winnable. If only we had an offense...

 

[Poe's Law]

How does Damonte see any minutes

He does the little things. He’s the only one getting loose balls and rebounding in the first 24 minutes... Not that it excuses the fact that he kills our offense. Is there any place to get reliable +/- for players?

 

[Kingsnake22]

This play is inexcusable, missed layups, and absolutely zero offense. Our wings are atrocious, nobody that can get a bucket.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Missouri is such an unlikable team

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Can you believe we once had people like Luther Head, Deron Williams and Dee Brown? Seems like a distant dream I woke up from WAY too long ago.

 

[scaggs22]

I’ve never seen such inept basketball against Mizzou. Two years in a row. This is coaching folks.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Great outlet by Kofi.

 

[Neidermeyer]

I wonder if we practice layups at all?

 

[bert1991]

That should have been an "and 1" - no ability to finish at the rim today

 

[KSmooth]

Here's your fake comeback folks!
