Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Deleted member 236589]

I very much doubt BU isn’t doing everything he can to impress upon this team the urgency just given his general demeanor.

Agree that we seem to come out flat.

I agree with you 100%. That's why I said it was on the players at this point....after almost 30 games. I think we all agree with the assertion that the starts of the second halves have been a problem. The question is....why?

 

[Oldhickory]

seems like he seldom gets more than a couple possessions when he's on the floor.

I'm not sure I see that much more out of Griffin as I do Tev. So I'm not sure exactly why one gets so much more tick than the other. I do think Tev could hustle a bit more and I suppose his defense isn't as good as Griffin's, but that isn't saying much.

That weave is just killing time, not working.

 

[Oldhickory]

Lol at Kipper kicking it out with GREAT position in the paint with the shot clock running down...

We'll have to see the final box score, but it seems like Griffin has been on the floor twice as much as Tev.

At least nobody on the team can say they aren't getting enough touches. They each get like....five on the same possession.

He is one foot away from the rim and he passes it up to AJ. Cmon kipper

speaking of flat...this crowd....

Free throws are winning us this game

Big man is frustrated.

 

[WizardBill]

HOW was that not a walk?

 

[Oldhickory]

We need to keep attacking the rim. Almost every time we drive Northwestern bodies us and gets a hand check foul.

 

[skyIdub]

Escape.

HOW is Georgi from 3 our best look???

 

[Oldhickory]

We're going to win but I'm not very happy with this win.

 

[JamesB]

Giorgi has been bad lately. I know it's not fair to him for me to be so critical. BUT after what he's shown he's capable of, these last few games have been so disappointing.

I wonder if some of our freshman are getting fatigued.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Keep it up at the FT line.

Vegas is smart

 

[Steelyunk]

I’d still put the ball in Ayo’s hands from here on. Or Feliz.

Fts

At 10-18, I'll take any win...regardless of how it looks. Seriously. Lol

If we're ever 22-6, then I'll get a little pickier in regards to style points.

 

[Oldhickory]

Bo with his classic Bo call. He is arguably the worst ref in the Big Ten.

W hen you shoot yourself in the foot so many times bad things happen

 

[3DegreeIllini]

This should make for an interesting week of next season takes...

 

[Beendownsince99]

Bad finish here. That killer instinct isn't there with this team. NW missed a lot of wide open shots in the first. Made more in the second. Team has been flat all game. Win is a win but I don't like the energy of this team. Go Illini
