Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

“

Kofi been blocked 5 times tonight

“Blocked” at least 2 were fouls

 

[skyIdub]

Hey Kofi got a call!

 

[JSpence]

All I'm learning from this game is that Illinois is more than decent. I was not prepared for the inconclusive crapshow this has devolved into. Poor opponent shooting and teams taking a backseat to the officials makes for snores.

Swish...clunk by Kofi

 

[DocMorgan]

Adam has been quiet after his three treys.

 

[logjam]

Has Miller had a shot, 2nd half?

 

[LouRocks]

Curbelo is a beast!

He needs to take care of the ball. 3rd game with 4 TOs n counting with not a ton of minutes. I'm not drinking that kool aid yet. Gotta tighten it up

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Hurt with 4 fouls now. That could be a big one.

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Time to put the nail in the coffin.

 

[CogDog]

Kofi misses way too much. He is not strong with the ball. Needs some work.

I thought he had worked on his shot. I don't see it. Only offense for him is 2 feet from the basket.

 

[Retro62]

OMG! Is this a hockey game!

 

[CubsWin]

Ugh. The turnovers.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Color me unimpressed with Illini play...except the shooting has been hot. 15 turnovers is horrendous. Pee Wee league level yet again.

 

[Orange Wave]

15 TO’s...yikes

 

[Sizzler22]

Man, can they work on their ability to not travel? How many travel calls is that this game? 4?

 

[BMoreIllini]

I think we need to get away from the 2 big man game here. Giorgi needs to be in and Kofi giving him a breather. Kofi is just too big of a liability on D when he gets stretched out.

 

[LostinNebraska]

This crew

 

[SuperMetroid]

Turnovers the only reason we’re not up 20+

 

[JSpence]

Just want the refs wanted... a jump shooting contest with no contact

 

[the juiceman cometh]

If you take out the turnovers this is a very efficient offensive performance. It's pretty obvious what this team needs to focus on going forward.

 

[Illini_Jack]

15 TO's.

Uh huh...well you’ve covered hyperbole for us

 

[Hat-trick_Kane]

Idk guys we’re good...very good. But I just don’t know...these turnovers. And FTs. Not exactly 2 areas of concern you wanna have if you’re trying to make a Final 4. We need to keep grinding.

 

[skyIdub]

It's good coaching by K. He sees we aren't strong with the ball and has pressured ever since.
