Game Thread: Illinois vs Cincinnati

[blife]

I love DW but he (along with everyone else tonight) is no threat to score. He has been on the floor all night. We are bad, but on top of bad, we are playing 4 on 5 on offense again.

 

[BRucks]

I’m really at a loss for words at this point. This has to be our worst stretch of basketball since…when?

Marquette?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Our biggest effort guy this year has been BBV......glad to see he has 0 minutes.

With the effort level I've seen, BBV, Melendez, Podz and Lieb should be getting time.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Why isn't Frazier getting a chance to shoot?

Because we run an incredibly predictable offense entirely reliant on the two man game and our coach isn't making adjustments.

 

[KingWolf11]

Curbelo doesn't even look like he is a college starter let alone a first round NBA pick

 

[Ugh]

Time to play some freshmen

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We have two preseason all Americans and how many top 100 kids on this team?

 

[BashCtIllini]

Can someone tell Damonte that he's allowed to shoot. We can't play 4 on 5 on offense.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

ok, now it's time they make a run to get it down to 8 (who cares). They have no heart and shooters don't want to shoot. DMW & Trent were not here tonight. They is no way Andre & Cockburn can carry they team alone.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Well at least they worked it around the horn for a clean look that time but it was Curbelo for the shot though.

 

[Th3Univ3rs3]

Wer’re a top 25 team just not top 20 at this point in the season. Can’t coach heart. We’ll be fine, gotta get it together QUICK.

 

[mydosburns]

Put Tyler in. Seemed to work last year

 

[NoRival]

WTF?

Ridiculous. This is a freaking mid-major program.

Get it together Underwood

 

[goillini316]

On the bright side, if you don't count ANY Cincy points in the second half we are up 4 points

 

[madillini4]

Got my hopes up

 

[Hof]

Time to play some freshmen

How bout the walk-ons

 

[Chicago Illini]

Could there be a more incompetent coach than Brad Underwood? From Loyola to Cincinnati, good coaches pants him. Poor fundamentals, no in game adjustments.

 

[Ugh]

I would start Goode and Podziemski right now just to shake things up

 

[Redbull]

I've been saying this for two years and get ridiculed every time, but BU is not a good game coach

Glad we locked him up with a fat contract

 

[Deleted member 333]

Curbelo was better as a sixth man. This game is pathetic

 

[Ugh]

Bench the 5 year seniors

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Just caught up on dvr. Everyone having a good, calm evening?

 

[sacraig]

I just can't believe how we came out of the gate roaring and now are totally useless. It boggles the mind.

 

[spillini]

Even the sets end up with the same quality shot that we get when we don’t run something.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We may lose this game by 30 points.
