Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[skyIdub]

When you beat two top 10 teams....you have to know everyone is coming for you every game. There is absolutely zero excuse to come out so soft after that last game.

Add on that this is Bragging Rights.......no way you can't be ready for this. Brutal.

 

[Birdus]

There have been several. He has nearly every turnover I'm sure. Slow down the NBA talk and earn your spot as a starter n maybe all conference if he can do that first. Gotta take care of the ball

Hawkins showed me some things in several games but has been non-existent in just as many games. He seems very inconsistent. He keeps playing like this and he will be playing in Europe.

Walked away for parental responsibilities and seems like we've done pretty much nothing?

With a team full of mercenaries and rookies sure you can

The lack of energy and effort might be the most worrisome part of all of this.

 

[FloridaMan]

A 20-2 run should never, ever happen. Just inconceivably bad. Something wrong within this team.

I love Brad, he needs to figure something out. This might be the most talent we’ve had in his tenure and this team looks lost.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Mizzou on a (roughly) 85 point pace for the game.

 

[New Creation]

Again. There are no ALPHA’s on this team. I think that is GOODE. I mean, he is a he only one left

Walked away from basketball responsibilities.

Dejected. Shook. Intimated. Outclassed.

We’ve lost this game unless our body language takes a 180. Won’t happen.

I don't know if the Illini could beat any single team in the B10. Certainly not playing like this. I didn't think we could regress much from the last few games, but I stand corrected.

This is the Cincinnati game all over again

 

[fatlard]

Forgot to add to the list.. we can not rebound or shoot free throws. either.

 

[PassingBy]

Is NIL refundable?

 

[Oranges]

The total regression on offense is unacceptable

 

[Mr. Roberts]

9 minutes between baskets. Stunning.

 

[hiberto]

Worst half of basketball so far this season. And it feels like we've said this already multiple times this season

 

[ILLFAN67]

Stop the ball!!

 

[Utahillini]

Butter soft!!! Not a leader on that team.

 

[illini80]

8 turnovers and 8% from 3. I see a trend here.

 

[madillini4]

This is as bad as it gets

 

[Illini8420]

Ok I think I’ve seen enough of TSJ tonight

 

[HailtotheChief]

Someone needs to be able to drive the ball. Only guy that seems able to do it is Epps. Maybe we miss belo more than ya think.

 

[jumpingjack]

MVP of the first fifteen minutes is Brown.
We look like butt.
