Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[Illiniam1984]

We can’t even get a rebound like that. That’s a sign of inexperience.

Mark my words Harris is gonna be the best of this class when it’s all said and done

That is putting your head on the chopping block and hoping the axe-man misses. But he is talented and fun to watch with a great future at U of I.

 

[grantlab]

UCLA has 43 shot attempts, we have 26. That is the only stat you need to read.

 

[Wade]

Skyy needs to sit right now. The game is to fast for him, and he is playing scared. It's killing us!!

 

[azillini1]

Sky has yet to score and Coleman has 2 points and no rebounds... how can he have NO rebounds?

 

[JSpence]

Welp, at least Brad knows what we need to work on during practice

Bas... basketball?

 

[the national]

Be thankful it's not Walton.

I’d take Walton at this point

 

[InDaAZ]

Harris on D:

 

[WeWillWhen]

Just not quite used to playing with each other in high pressure situations. I think this team will get there by January.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

You ever watch a tv show where the actor is portraying “drunk guy”, and it seems too over the top… that’s us right now.

 

[sacraig]

I’d take Walton at this point

[WhiteHorseWings]

Give them a break guys, they made it to the semifinals

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Sky: 0 points, 4 turnovers.

Coleman: 2 points, 0 rebounds.

 

[SaintLIllini]

clark just isn’t bringing it

 

[ILLfated]

UCLA has 43 shot attempts, we have 26. That is the only stat you need to read.

And turnovers

 

[Redbull]

I’d take Walton at this point

You have a short memory

 

[IlliniShelt]

Hawkins has ZERO boards with 16 mins left in the game

 

[ILLFAN67]

I have muted my tv

 

[sacraig]

Give them a break guys, they made it to the semifinals

It's like when they insisted on calling the first round of the NCAA tourney the second round and call the play in games the first round.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Be thankful it's not Walton.

They’re dancing on top of Mt. Lemmon.

 

[sacraig]

And turnovers

These two things are related.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Missed a layup

 

[SuperMetroid]

So UCLA doesn’t foul?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

They just are not calling fouls on rebounds. The refs have at least been consistent in that regard but it's a little ridiculous what they're allowing.
