Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[illiniguy24]

Some silly plays by us the last 5-7 minutes. We should be up double digits.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Bardo turned into Dakich so slowly I barely even noticed

 

[sully]

welp at least we have the lead at half. Time to tear it up in the 2nd half.

 

[illini2002]

Getting out coached right now.. Underwood needs to make some major offensive adjustments..

 

[uh_lion_eye]

I feel like bardo is rooting for Maryland.. This zone is killing us..

Bardo trying hard not to be a homer. What a half a basketball though. Go Illini

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Disappointed too only be leading by 2
Oh wait, I'm disappointed by that? Hey, that's a good thing, right?

 

[RedRiver24]

That was a crazy double technical call.

Must have been feeling some pressure because of the 2 on MD already.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

What a game! ... but fell asleep after that make before half.

I often hate on Bardo but here hasn't bothered me today.

 

[skyIdub]

Turtles are so dangerous. We need a full 20 of Trent and our tough D to pull this one out.

 

[redwingillini11]

That's absurd...

 

[bombayIllini]

No D

 

[CogDog]

We’ve got ourselves a game, folks!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Yeah, but at least Dakich is a raging homer for those candy stripers.

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

We need TF on the floor n to not make silly fouls.. a few bad backcourt fouls by us to especailly on Cowan n the bonus

 

[Kingsnake22]

Not mad but we should be up ten

 

[dbeaverfg]

It could be that since this is an FS1 game rather than BTN, he was asked to dial down any homer tendencies,

You're assuming that Bardo has ever had homer tendencies to dial down.

I think we scored 9 points in the last 10 min of half

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Don’t like letting Trent sit while we get killed on the perimeter.

He is always trying "not to be a homer" Everyone already knows he was stud for the illini, no need for him to always "root" for the other team.. I do know where his heart is thought, the illini. I'll give him a pass ( like he needs one from me anyway, lol )

 

[foby]

Start the second half like the first, and no 3rd fouls until the 10 min mark or better.

 

[aaron2108]

Need to be able to break down the zone. We’re looking really stagnant. And we MUST guard Wiggins in transition!

 

[Deleted member 746654]

Trent & Kofi foul trouble hurt us

 

[Illinidpm]

Our start was fantastic... did a lot of good things... should be up 15 but up 2 at the half.. that’s frustrating.. Maryland is a good team and gonna make a bounce back.. but too many dumb possessions on offense that cost us 2-3 points on the other end... work on face guarding Cowan, feeding kofi the damn ball, not waiting till 7 seconds to run the offense, and attack the press!!!!

D has been a little soft. Maryland is a very quick team. Better find a solution to the zone. KC has two touches
