Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[fatlard]

what the hell RJ.. where were you driving too?

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

This is just horrible in every way

The problem is, the game is on SEC network. There’s barely any NBA exposure here. What do you expect, effort and intensity just because Coach said this game matters to some people who won’t impact our future earnings?

It we be nice if we could get some hard cuts to the basket or baseline. This one on one iso is putrid right now. Down 20 to Miznoz. Embarrassing

Someone arrange a meeting between Brad Underwood and Shauna Greene. Maybe she can give him some pointers.

Leadership. We need to find it. I don’t care if its a freshman, someone needs to step up.

What does that even mean at this point? No one looks like they know how to play basketball. Is our coach drawing up plays? What does practice look like?

 

[Birdus]

I’m not sure I’ve ever been more confident that an Illini team would show up unprepared for the intensity of Braggin Rights. Fortunately for them, most of them couldn’t care less.

I am with you. Something does not seem right with the overall attitude of the team. I felt that way after the PSU game. Some of these guys do not care. One of the commentators when asked about BIG TEN contenders said that he did not trust Illinois? What does that even mean. Well, now I think I have it figured out. They don't care.

TSJ has absolutely no heart.

 

[JJE]

I get the sense that Underwood is saying you think you know better guys go coach yourselves.

TSJ. TO and then take a bad 3 with 24 seconds on the clock. Then Hawkins passes up a wide open 3. Wish we had Andre.. he is what is missing from this team

 

[fatlard]

Good luck on the NBA draft guys.. no one on this team will be on 1st or 2nd round.

 

[FortWayneFan]

Wish I could say these announcers were homers but I think they have us pegged. We’re just not good right now.

 

[BashCtIllini]

I haven't seen Elf or Christmas Story in the last 20 minutes, would be much better viewing than this

 

[Ryllini]

Hero ball

 

[Navy_illini]

Ok I think I’ve seen enough of TSJ tonight

He can turn it on. Just can’t force it

 

[CV Illini]

When does spring football start?

 

[Illiniprime]

This team just isn’t good, how can we be so off que all the time?

 

[azillini1]

And, we supposedly played Kansas even or even beat them in our preseason scrimmage. If that is true, how does Kansas beat MU by 28 and we are getting our rears kicked by the same team? Something is wrong either in the locker room and/or in our coaching staff's ability to coach this team, especially on offense.

16 minutes into this game and not one assist. That is on the coaching staff!

At what point are we going to opt for a new strategy?

I think they have been fair and spot on.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

I would be content if they just ran a horns set every single time down the floor so i would know that they could run something on offense

 

[Da88]

Why the heck does Hawkins shot fake when the guy is 6 feet away and then try to shoot when he's a foot away?

 

[PassingBy]

I think we miss Goode

If it’s broke don’t fix it
