Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[Epsilon]

Okay that was a foul but could the ref get more into that? Geez.

 

[sacraig]

Houston deserves to win.

Probably true but I'd prefer they didn't.

 

[skyIdub]

Turnovers and hustle plays. Just awful.

Enjoy the offseason everyone. Thanks for a great year

 

[Illiniaaron]

This is so over

 

[Rich]

Curbelo not playing the entire half seems a little extreme. Was Brad surprised that he took bad shots and had bad turnovers?

Are we watching the same game? Same season?

Houston deserves to win.

We deserve to lose

Decent season sad our 5th year seniors don’t step up

 

[blife]

after a 4 point play how do we let things go so bad so quickly. Not looking good at this point

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Had a shot at a wide open three and missed it. What can you do?

 

[GrayGhost77]

This one's over folks. Houston is the better team. Better luck next year.

 

[mydosburns]

Why did RJ get taken out? Dude has been our only driving threat

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Sad to see this year end, but loved watching these kids play. Can’t wait for next year - hopefully we can get past the second round.

With a healthy Trent and Grandy we win this.

 

[BBIQ]

Is Deron and Luther available?

 

[CogDog]

Where is our grit and moxie?

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

We aren’t going to break 60 in 3 ncaa games with Kofi Cockburn anchoring the middle. It’s absolutely incredible how bad we are offensively

 

[IllinoisssssssVarsity]

I really don’t get why didn’t consistently go under screens on Shead. He’s a 30% 3pt shooter coming in and great driver. Isn’t that the guy you normally go under on?

 

[GallopingGhost]

Slipping away. Let’s enjoy the last 4 minutes of Illinois basketball this season.

 

[spillini]

Can’t win if you don’t take care of the ball.

 

[krushalot2005]

Need to go all in on shooters now, dribble drive and not stand around for 20 seconds

By missing open looks and letting them turn into fast breaks the other way?

 

[Hopingfor500]

Probably true but I'd prefer they didn't.

Well said. They're the better team, but I wish they weren't too. Stinks.

 

[Epsilon]

We deserve to lose

Name checks out.

 

[sdfidaho]

Sad, but not surprising
Haven’t been able to shoot lately and back to early season turnover machine

Kelvin Sampson team

 

[TheChief4Life]

So much for that momentum. Still time to win, but I'm getting more and more nervous.

Definite adjustments needed before next game/year.
