Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[OptimistOrange]

Goodnight.

Hate to give up on a game so soon but I've seen nothing that provides a spark of hope

 

[aluma]

I've had a bad day today and was really thinking this game would be a good one that made my day much better. WRONG.

 

[illini8507]

Hard to watch, don't know why I still am

 

[Berg88]

Something about how this team just needs time to gel.

 

[Whitman2020]

Tate is in. I don't watch. Back next game.

 

[illinoisfan11]

How can you not get your guys up for this game? I just don't get it.

 

[txillini11]

Maryland just looks so athletic out there.

Just looks that way because of our absence of athleticism

 

[Trakis]

Losing this game is one thing, but getting obliterated is something else.

We feel no hope in this game because Maryland is doing everything they should be and we are doing nothing well. Maryland is playing aggressive defense and forcing us to shoot deep shots. And on offense they are attacking and going to the hoop. We are giving up lay up after lay up on defense and on offense we are forcing horrible contested jump shots.

We sure make other teams look smart when they double team and trap us. This is really getting tough to watch.

 

[Give it to Greene]

Someone has to tell Finke to stop putting the ball on the floor when down low, and quit the triple head fakes.... Take the ball straight up, and slam it home....

 

[jjh22003]

Why is Tate playing?!

 

[TriCityBurbs]

We stinks again!

I hate to say it, but a better coach might just teach that.

 

[Berg88]

No excuse for our inability to play any defense at this point.

I think Trimble is going to beat us single handed - with mostly layups...

 

[txillini11]

Tate and Finke are in way over their heads.

 

[Stevegarbs]

Wow Thorne is rough.

Is Thorne's elbow getting hit on those shots?

 

[GortTheRobot]

Dan dakitch(sp?) with the good plan...go to Morgan.

 

[OptimistOrange]

Need to stop passing to our bigs in bad spots.

 

[Berg88]

Thorne has missed the basket by over 3 feet at least twice now

 

[illinoisfan11]

Gosh big Mike looks awful.

 

[Jon]

do you guys know there are two halves in the game of ol' college hoopyshoots? chill for just a bit. this won't be a blow out. it is okay for us to lose this one.

 

[aluma]

Oh my goodness...
