Game Thread: Illinois vs Baylor

Bank is open for Trent

I'd say it's going pretty much as expected so far, but with both defenses more prominent than we anticipated.

Unfortunately, this game bears little resemblance to December 2004 vs. Wake Forest.

I'm laughing out loud at those comparisons to the 05' team last week.

Join me won't you?

How many layups and bunnies are we going to miss.

If like most games in the BW era, to damn many. Backboard, what's that?

When Baylor has the ball they have a bunch of guys moving around setting screens as opposed to our possessions where everyone is just standing around.

Swish!!!!!

Frazier has 5 TO. Not what I expected out of our senior guard.

Early in the season and facing elite defensive pressure, so I am not TOO worried. Definitely can't make a habit of that, though.

All of our passes are weak lobs with no intention of being a scoring play. Need to make hard dribbles into the lane and create easier plays

True. Wake and Gonzaga didn't play defense, though.

Also: paint the hall

why are we not adjusting our offense? go back to running hard like the 1st 3 games to get some easier looks

That's a lot easier to do against overmatched teams who can't match your athleticism. Baylor, and I am surprised I even have to say this, is really good.

and we suck at feeding the post

That’s it. Sounds like hyperbole, but I just don’t see it.

 

[spillini]

what a possession by baylor

 

[hoopsfan47]

Killer

 

[skyIdub]

We don't have a nose for the ball.

Can someone tell me what our halftime adjustments were? Asking for a friend

Wheels coming off

Kofi is so out of sync this game he stills needs to be sitting for GB

 

[azillini1]

Kofi has a lot to learn in this game.

 

[Stevegarbs]

Kofi has to show up for the big games. Didn't happen tonight.

Wher is Ayo?...

Frazier just isn’t having a good game. T.O. And miscues on defense. Disappointed
