Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[bjp84]

I agree. He has been hesitant to shoot all night. Hopefully he hasn’t lost confidence in his shot.

Man, Trent doesn't even look ready to shoot. Wonder if something's up

 

[Hopingfor500]

We have no answers, Brad has no answers. I don’t think anyone could beat Rutgers tonight.

That's what we said against Purdue.

Rebounds

36-19

Take a guess who is who.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

That's what we said against Purdue.

And the second half of the NW game.

It won’t be like this forever, but the reality is that we are not playing well right now. In all facets.

 

[pruman91]

the cohawk put back bucket was his first bucket of February..............wow

 

[CDRUSN]

Do we even practice free throws?

 

[KrushCow31]

That's what we said against Purdue.

This happened to them too.

 

[CubsWin]

2-9 FT's is just ridiculous.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

this is embarrassing. Rebounding is all about effort. Where is our effort?

 

[FloridaMan]

This happened to them too.

It did? I was thinking it took a last second Harper 3 pointer to beat them.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Missed free throw, Rutgers def rebound, Rutgers offensive rebound, Rutgers basket.

That’s the game summary

 

[dbeverly26]

What a putz that dude is.

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Pathetic

 

[Illiniam1984]

Pathetic effort!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

The scary part about this loss…we’re in East Lansing on Saturday.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Brad needs to get fired up and get tossed out of the game or something to wake this team up.

 

[InDaAZ]

Do we even practice free throws?

We make 2/3 of out fts and 1/3 of our threes tonight, it’s a 2-point margin… sigh.

 

[IceCuban]

Our effort is picking up, but we're too buried (and Rutgers is too confident) at this point to make a difference. Needed this push at the end of the first half.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

 

[Illini8420]

Worst rebounding effort we’ve had this year

 

[LvilleILL]

We better show up on Saturday. All I will say

 

[FloridaMan]

Players in white standing around as ball hits the floor. Players in black hustling to grab it. P A T H E T I C effort.

 

[hiberto]

how the hell is this team 11-3? dont even look like a bubble team tonight. rutgers will only be 1 game back of the conference lead when we lose this

 

[bjp84]

Very impressive Rutgers team. They defend the three and double team Kofi.
