Game Thread: Illinois vs Chattanooga

[aaeismacgychel]

We're in really big trouble. Look awful on defense and worse on offense. No idea how we can come out this flat.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Mocs play slap-first defense. So annoying

 

[TheChief4Life]

I hate when announcers try justifying crap calls by refs.

 

[Bigtex]

No illinois energy

 

[King Snake]

This is bad.

 

[RML]

Don't like that they are going to call hooks. Kofi does that a lot, and has gotten away with it in the B1G.

 

[GraingerDanger]

I knew there was no other way it could start

 

[Spokane Illini]

Jesus, settle down guys. This isn't Gonzaga.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Trent doesn't look like himself. His man is having no trouble getting by him.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I can’t believe the refs are going to take over.

And we are getting outplayed.

We're 1-6 from the field. Our effort isn't the problem.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Man, this has a Loyola-play-catch-up-all-game feeling too it. I hope that I am wrong and we get it together.

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Who is going to be the leader and jump on everyone? It’s time

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I can’t believe the refs are going to take over.

And we are getting outplayed.

Refs are just calling a basketball game by the rules. We just aren’t used to seeing that.

Our defense has absolutely sucked since the middle of B10 season. Every team magically lights it up every time they face us.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Very little movement off the ball. Not much intensity...again.

 

[Ken]

We really should be much further along in our cuttings game when the ball goes into Kofi .

You can tell the opponents see something on the tape because they are not even worried about losing their man at all. . They know we are gonna stand and watch.

 

[logjam]

They're playing hard defensively.

 

[JimILL75]

TV time out is welcome. They are hot and we are not. Brad will make a few charges and Kofi will get the ball and draw fouls. Then the outside shot will open up. Stay calm my friends.

 

[foby]

Ok, time for the real team to show up. Let's go!

 

[Ramrod2010]

Yes, this could be an annoyance at least and game changing at worst.

 

[chadbrochill420]

Such a bull!!!! call. If you put a midget in there to defend Kofi he's gonna get bulled over. It's not a foul to back down and rotate into the paint

 

[GBIllini]

We gotta loosen up!

 

[HailtotheChief]

Belo needs to play and play now. Coming out settling fir challenged 3s n jumpers us awful

 

[FromTheLogo]

Two of their worst 3-pt shooters hit 3's. They'll slow down. Hopefully.
