Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[skyIdub]

Our heads are clearly stuck in our butts.....better get 'em out quick.

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Plummer is a liability on D

 

[azillini1]

Is this game ugly? Can’t quite figure it out.

10 fouls on Michigan and 5 on us makes the game very slow and ugly

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This is like playing at Penn State. Dead crowd, rock fight on the court, no one can shoot. What the hey.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Plummer has been awful. Need to wake up and rebound.

 

[PassingBy]

IL will have as many misses and turnovers and MI fouls

 

[GallopingGhost]

If we can’t have good refs I would at least have entertaining announcers. We have neither.

 

[BMoreIllini]

On the bright side, if Michigan keeps fouling at this rate they may only have 3 or 4 players left by the end of the game.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Just keep drawing fouls and the tide will drift our way

 

[Calillini]

I'm not sure if the announcers, the glitching of FS1, or the illini is most infuriating. Right now it's the boys....thank goodness they are shorthanded, we'd be getting treated like Nebraska did earlier. #woodshedtime

This is embarrassing

 

[skyIdub]

The whole team has been awful. Need to wake up and rebound.

FIFY

 

[LFOD]

The filthy cowards are playing tough defense

 

[dbeverly26]

Someone needs to deliver a truckload of adderall to our locker room

 

[altgeld88]

I'm honestly not even sure if this is basketball. What am I watching?

sacraig brought up the 2009 (38-33) Penn State game in the pregame thread. I blame him for this.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Ugly, ugly ball. Playing down to the opponent for sure. We are way betterthan this but we need to show it.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Can't even block out during a free throw? Yikes. Underwood may need steel toe boots for all the things he's going to kick at halftime.

 

[BDMAN]

BU is not going to like this we are flat out getting out hustled for every rebound and loose ball seems like. Team seems flat I did not expect that against this (SCUM) team after all the talking they did.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Does anyone not think that?

I don't not think that.

Maybe a little time for the Freshman to speed up the game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

If we can’t have good refs I would at least have entertaining announcers. We have neither.

We have had bad announcers before, but good grief. These guys sound like they are sitting in a coffee house talking about philosophy and metaphysics.

 

[TheBattleAward]

This is a hard watch
We need to rebound and play defense #1

 

[blife]

we are so sloppy with the ball. And can someone please get hot for us. Brutal

 

[Chillinini]

Stuck in quicksand. I’m sure they’ll get out of this funk. No way they should lose to this shorthanded team.

I was there. I was drunk. It was miserable.

 

[jumpingjack]

In the double bonus with almost 8 minutes to go in the first half.
I like our chances.
