Game Thread: Illinois at EIU (Exhibition)

[Spoon House]

Safe to say that the O&B are not executing The System yet.

 

[EfremWinters84]

Sorry --- forgot to insert my sarcasm "icon"

 

[Bailey]

Mark Smith is the best player on the floor

 

[Spoon House]

Goodwin has a really weird shot, but it's on tonight.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Nichols tried to bring the hammer, but traveled in the process. Kudos on the idea.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

63-59 EIU.

 

[BDMAN]

Might be a long season as these guys learn to do what Underwood wants....

Yep now we know why OSU started 0-6 last year in conference before they turned it around

 

[HTT]

Frazier, Jordan, Egboi, Matic cannot make the rotation it seems.

We only have 7 men in rotation and has to play this wear and foul-prone defense

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

The passing could be better. But the fellas also look pretty tired.

 

[Spoon House]

Smith has been so impressive.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

65-61 EIU.

 

[oolongmonkey]

why do refs hate us?

 

[Ibball62]

Smith needs more touchesssssssss

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Black just picked up his 4th foul. 6:30 left in the game.

 

[cavitt]

How much time left?

 

[HTT]

We make to many switch on screens that's why they have easy layups.

 

[skyIdub]

They are shooting lights out

 

[Illininer]

We switch when we don't need to. Leads to mismatches every possession and either a foul on us or a layup

 

[EfremWinters84]

Whew. 61-72

 

[I Bomb]

We go to zone and they immediately hit a 3 :doh:

 

[drew306]

That was such bad defense by Alstork

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

EIU shooting something like 54% from the field.

We are dribbling too much.

 

[Sizzler22]

So glad I didn't go to this game. They moved the ball so well at the beginning, no longer happening.

 

[skyIdub]

Great practice fodder.

 

[BDMAN]

Whew. 61-72

going to be a long year until they grasp BU's concepts however talk about a teaching moment after this......
