[Oldskoolkoach]

You’re “n” key is stuck

Guess it is, tha ks

 

[PNWIllini]

I’m confident we got this

Robbie Hummel and his blown out knees need to be a little less one sided on commentary tonight.

Stop. Hummel is excellent as usual.

My first half over-reaction:

The good:
* Kofi
* Miller
* DaMonte

The bad:
* Ayo being overplayed to his right hand. Seems unable to go left.
* Curbelo looks like a turnover machine again
* Getting very little from Trent, Giorgi, Hawkins and Grandison

Getting little from Hawkins? His few minutes got a huge rebound and a basket. He played 2 minutes. That is a lot for two minutes

 

[skyIdub]

No Trent...

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

2nd half starts and Ayo wakes up

Keep feeding the @#_@ post

 

[Miles Leonard]

Maryland hitting everything now. Damn.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Every damn game has two things

the other team makes the first three

the other team makes a three before half

every damn game

True — well except for fact Purdue and this game are the only 2 B1G games that’s happened that I can recall.

No Trent...

hurt shoulder???

 

[JSpence]

Terps on pace for 70 points this half, time to wake up on defense.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Welp, let them hang around. Here comes a dog fight.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Why do we allow confidence to the teams have that elbow jumper and we can never stop it

 

[Deleted member 747802]

I'm beginning to think it might take a bad loss or two to wake this team up. Hard to figure out. I just don't get it.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

In the process probably cost us the B10 along the way.

Um, been there, done that?

 

[aaron2108]

Anyone else have a bad feeling about this game...?

 

[JJE]

Geez. This team can look like a top 5 team during stretches and bottom of the conference during others.

 

[LouHenson]

Trent must be hurt? This just does not have a good feel, not sure about the zone?

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Um, been there, done that?

Done what? The loss to Mizzou?

 

[GallopingGhost]

This looks a little too lethargic for my liking. When do we get scared and turn it on? 5 minutes to play?

 

[Chillinini]

Now getting a bit worried.

Defense is slow to the ball.

Offense is sloppy.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Monte not giving us anything tonight Need hawk to get minutes as we need length

 

[JSpence]

Anyone else have a bad feeling about this game...?

Yes, because Ayo has been way off. Driving layup frenzies are not going to happen...
