At some point, you have got to make an open three and have an opponent miss an open three to win. Just incredible what's going on.

 

[SaintLIllini]

lol they’re 6/7 fir three

 

[BBlock24]

6/7 from three. Comical at this point.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

NW 6/7 from 3.

All have been great looks.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

6/7 from three. Comical at this point.

These are practice jumpers.

Do the basketball gods hate us that much? Seems like everyone shoots out of their mind from 3 on us

 

[BashCtIllini]

Is this the worst shooting Illini team ever?

I really can’t wait for Senior Year Ty Rodgers. Heck, I can’t wait for Junior Year Ty Rodgers or even Sophomore Year Ty Rodgers.

There ain't gonna be no senior year Ty Rodgers.

6 turnovers and 1 assist won't win anything

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I think other teams attempt to defend them

 

[GallopingGhost]

Long game everyone settle down

Honestly, Northwestern is a terrible three point shooting team. They're just hot as hell. Ridiculous to be honest. Buie shoots under 30% from three. Looks like a career 45% shooter right now. Not much you can do.

Why do we keep having teams do this to us

 

[FloridaMan]

Every Div 1 player can hit open shots. If you're not going to guard a guy after he hits a couple you lose. Plain and simple. Meanwhile, we cannot create or make easy shots. That's been the difference between potential and an underwhelming season to date.

 

[hiberto]

unforced turnovers still an issue with 3 games left in the regular season after today

 

[IllinialuminAZ]

Is it just me, or are there a lot of moving screens happening?

 

[Retro62]

So far this is first game against PSU all over again

 

[Naborman88]

Exactly. Stay o the perimeter!

 

[azillini1]

We don't have 1 foul called on us yet. We are out rebounding them 15 to 8, but they are killing us from 3 point range.

FFS brad , switch to a zone for a couple minutes Please….

 

[GallopingGhost]

Basically if you stop 0 then you win the game. So let’s figure out how to do that

Easy crew...watch the finish to the half...
