Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[GortTheRobot]

You won’t be watching much. Not sure if they can win another game. They may need to find one of those safe houses on campus.

Too true. The sad thing is...I will watch the next one...and the next. I've been following Illini BBall since the early 70's...I am an addict. This is just a really bad trip.

Has this team regressed with Underwood?

It isn’t an effort thing. They seem to put in the effort. They have NO basketball IQ, NONE! Even Underwood has given up on them, you can tell my his body language.

As fans, we've been riding on fumes for too long.

Josh Whitman, Brad Underwood and Lovie Smith, this has to be fixed NOW!

This is as bad as Benedict Bartow's 8-18

True. Weak coaching and poor talent for several years now. No reason to expect better any time soon.

I'm afraid for us in 2 years. Haven't landed the young bigs will need to rely on grad transfer. Few availiable and few impact. Ebo a good start as project big but will need to continue to add.

Antigua has to getting us the bigs.

We can see just how few athletes we have on this team, the only guy who can dunk in traffic is ebo

You never get homered at IL

house of pain....I'm feeling it bigtime

This is quite possibly the worst half of Illini basketball I've ever seen.

 

[blmillini]

No-but the lack of development is concerning.

That is just not true. We have a severe personel issue. You jist cant compete in the big ten with zero players able to play above the rim.

What are they supposed to do. These dogs wont hunt

 

[GortTheRobot]

Our best defense is them missing bunnies.

Missed the wisconsin game?

 

[IntenselyOrange]

Almost wish I had 0 for football and basketball to cheer for. Where would 2 combined wins rank historically?

I think I’ve seen worse but I can’t remember when.

psu guard grabs TF and he gives this look like, what I've been grabbing all game and now you call it (as LB makes layup off pass).

 

[PostersLastStand]

One good thing (for Penn State), we are so offensively challenged it makes the opposition look great defensively. Pads the overall defensive stats for the Big Ten. Hey I'm trying to find a positive.

 

[GortTheRobot]

I love that, a lane violation from PSU takes away our rebound and chance for a bucket.

Missed the wisconsin game?

This is worse.

 

[bombayIllini]

what ever happened to Fraz? If he was playing we coudl win this game, even now.

If Antigua doesn't jump ship I will be absolutely stunned. He hasn't given anything to this team.

My post was about not seeing development, which is true. And yes-we have a severe personnel issue. I agree. But we have seen no development from any player other than Trent and to a lesser degree Ebo.

It's over....not the season, that's been cooked for a while. jUst talking about this game.

Offensive rebounds are killing us.
