Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[PNWIllini]

Let them right back in

 

[FloridaMan]

Obviously we have not fully learned how to sustain good effort and execution for a full half... Super Frustrating.

 

[Dragons89]

Playing like it’s a playground scrimmage.

 

[azillini1]

Gophers and Illini are really bad from the arc. It has been a while since we have had a good 3 point shooting night, especially when you take away Mayer.

Our offense looks pretty stagnant to me.

 

[Jimbo]

Halftime lead, that’s enough for me.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Crappy offense. No shots in rhythm.

 

[PNWIllini]

Halftime lead, that’s enough for me.

Theres still time

 

[Goillinikobd]

Nope, this ain’t it

 

[TCTORNADO]

Offense has looked really rough tonight so far.

Only 2 assists will do that to you

 

[InDaAZ]

Luke’s effort tonight…

 

[LoveLovie]

Melendez was the only one going for the rebound on that free throw

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Terrible offense, but it went in.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Illinois missing 6-7 free throws doesn't help either.

 

[Jimbo]

I almost hate seeing Coleman make a 3. Just encourages him to shoot those.

 

[WWWWRocU]

How many shots have come Goode's way this half?

 

[Perry Range's Van]

The answer to which opposing player will hit their season average tonight against the Illini in the 1st half is.... Dawson Garcia

 

[grantlab]

Feeling a lot like the disastrous “structured randomness” offense of Nov/Dec

 

[InDaAZ]

I almost hate seeing Coleman make a 3. Just encourages him to shoot those.

 

[NJJ871]

This is a really mediocre defensive team that BU has constructed this season.

 

[azillini1]

How many shots have come Goode's way this half?

One

 

[ILLFAN67]

Doesn’t help when Meyer has not done a lot this half. Considering he is your go to scoring threat. Goode can’t get open for shots

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Fire up the press in the 2nd half. Goofs guard play will crumble = transition points.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Overall not a particularly great 1st half

 

[Jimbo]

6 point lead is decent. They can’t play with us for 40.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

My 5 year old son seems to take his offensive cues from this team. The coaches try to run a layup drill and he pulls up and shoots (misses) 3 pointers instead.
