Too many calls

OMG THESE REFS!!!

RJD just went around Kofi like he was stuck in concrete.

 

[Orange Wave]

That was make up T time...no dice

 

[Mr. Roberts]

How many more tipped balls will lead to IU points?

 

[logjam]

Seems like BU should call a timeout and give out some hugs.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Who ranks the rankers, that is the question. Dakich haters take that.

So what is it about Iowa that the media needs to kiss their behind compared to us? Let’s talk about Garza during a UI-IU game. Iowa only drops one spot in the rankings after losing 2 in a week. Nike’s website has Iowa gear but not Illinois. Do they have a program that feeds the sports media industry?

I'm sorry but our defense is horrid.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Franklin's ankle must be okay, he just went right around Ayo for the dunk.

 

[Retro62]

They cannot run with us...we need to get rolling

 

[skyIdub]

Everyone's body is confused because the first half should have ended 20 minutes ago.

Blow bys happen, but the lack of help side D, is concerning. That's assignment awareness. Williams got blown by for an uncontested lay in. That's can't happen.

We are getting hands on tons of balls, but they keep turning into assists for IU with bad bounces. We've had a few blown assignments, but also some bad luck.

Exactly, our team defense is pathetic. Not to mention the offense, which I have yet to figure out what our plan is this year. Do we try to identify opponent weaknesses and exploit them, or just kind of run around and hope an open shot presents itself?

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

As bad as we've played, we're lucky it's close

 

[redwingillini11]

On one end Dakich criticizes TJD for trying to do too much. On the other end he praises that IU is playing GREAT defense.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

The extremely frustrating thing is that we have seen both the defense and offense be outstanding at times. A little consistency would be super.

 

[Illini_Jack]

How many layups are we gonna miss?

 

[Retro62]

WTF! Feed Kofi

 

[redwingillini11]

“THATS GREAT DEFENSE”

 

[31D1kids]

Wow. 2 huge holes in our team? Adam Miller and Damonte's bum ankle. Its going to hurt us!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

For the love of God, can we get an entry pass

 

[illinitiger]

May be a 3 hr game

 

[Deleted member 747802]

I would just keep chucking threes. It's been so successful this half! But I guess if Kofi is just gonna stand 2 feet from the free throw line in the lane what can you do?
