Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[PNWIllini]

8-0 run them. We needed better

 

[Chillinini]

Not sure why no one is glued to Tyger

Playing sloppy, but that's to be expected in November. We will be ok. Get to the rim, and stop taking so many early 3's. Coleman has got to pick it up in the 2nd half.

 

[GallopingGhost]

So are we switching or not?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Great defensive effort so far, but the offense has been a mess. Luckily, some good 3 point shooting has kept us close. Win or lose though, this will be a good learning experience for the team.

 

[New Creation]

Hawkins is really a step slower. Watching this in person , he is not on point right now

 

[SuperMetroid]

Need to guard this stupid 2-man game they are running literally every possession

 

[Clngpl94]

Fran is TERRIBLE... "Two man basketball" SHUT UP

 

[IlliniSaluki]

That 3 is on Coleman for not switching like they have been doing all night.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Now Hawkins defense is seizing up.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

We've completely discombobulated the UCLA offense this half and are down 7. Gotta figure our scoring out.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Hawkins is no bueno tonight. Just terrible mental mistakes and no urgency.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh man... Not sure why CoHawk wanted the switch there. Can't do that.

 

[FloridaMan]

Wow, here come the clowns

Edit: On second look the correct call

 

[eas23]

I guess not guarding 1 of the 2 guys is really advanced level stuff.

Fargin bull shirt

 

[BDMAN]

The freshmen are playing like freshmen, but Hawkin's play is a mystery to me it seems to have regressed in this game alone. Our lack of chemistry and cohesiveness is evident. That will get better as the season progresses, we will be a dangerous teem come tourney time

 

[GallopingGhost]

He got bumped so is that not a foul?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That is an absolutely terrible call

 

[PassingBy]

13 turnovers in a half

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

lol that travel is wild.

 

[sacraig]

That gets called like 1% of the time it happens.

 

[hiberto]

terrible call on dain

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Ball handling is at a premium if you opt for positionless basketball. Need some Jaime/Tyger adjustments from Brad in 2half.

 

[sacraig]

Not an ideal end of the half.
