Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[illiniguy24]

We are completely falling apart

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Well, enjoy the rest of the game, I’m back to the Bears. Maybe me turning it off will change our fortunes.

Laying down like a good road dog.

 

[New Creation]

we need Curbelo on the court. it is obvious. a pure point guard to survive this season

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Dakich is right. Bad basketball on Illinois end. Great coaching from Rutgers in getting the switches that are in their favor, and then attacking it. When other teams are small and Giorgi is left on the perimeter, it's a bad bad matchup for us

 

[LouHenson]

Blow out, wow I did not think we would get to this point this year. Not good. Miller needs to be on the bench and Curbello just had to play in order for us to have a half court offense. Really sad 5-3 wow

 

[Ats123]

belo please

This, whole different second half if he is in.

 

[Sizzler22]

zero offense, what happened to shooting threes? Run something.

 

[BlueLeader]

Miller an Giorgi need to watch the games for a while and learn.

 

[LostinNebraska]

How did harper not get called for a travel on the jumpstop, come down with the ball and shoot it again sequence? It looked like a travel in real-time and worse on replay

 

[azillini1]

Not much guard scoring in second half allowing Rutgers to pack the middle and double team Kofi. Someone besides Ayo needs to make a 3.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Miller out - Curbelo in please!!!

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Getting beat like a drum now, gonna need some 3's to loosen up the paint. Looks like a different team this half.

 

[LostinNebraska]

We sure do miss Andres Feliz.

Right now we miss Belo

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Refs have been bad, but I thought Harper could’ve had “and one” on his last two buckets. They’re bad, but they’re not anti-Illinois bad today.

oh- and we’ve played like garbage this half.

Watch the game, where are our shooters? No killer instinct with a 10 point lead, the goofy white kid completely out hustling us and they have shooters. Where is this 4 stat AceWolf? Non existent. Monte completely smoked this game. We arent winning the 50 50 balls.

I am watching the Rutgers score 6 points without us getting a possession which completely turned around the game and shooting almost 3 times as many free throws as us. You watch the game stop trying to sound like you think you know what going on.

 

[CentralILifer]

Curbelo probably isn't in because he couldn't box out.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Curbelo needs to play the entire game for us to have any chance on offense. We just have nothing but Ayo ISO when he's not in

 

[skyIdub]

Belo is not the problem, nor the answer.

 

[AnnaMay]

The refs have been awful, but good teams overcome that. Our guys whine a lot on bad calls and that is an identity we dont want to have. They better wake up and start playing hard or this is going to be a long season...

 

[BRucks]

Curbelo gone. We are toast

 

[Sizzler22]

Finally a zone

 

[Butters]

We have very little depth and big problems rebounding. Going to prevent us from competing for the conference title if we don't solve those problems.
