Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Mr. Roberts]

lol... Welp just Northwestern's night. Insane.

They are the better basketball team.

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

With them shooting 5/8 from three?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

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

Our guys aren't fighting through them, they're trying to go around and ultimately letting up uncontested threes.

 

[CleverHandle1]

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

I think it's the defense that is to blame. The he "had a career game" excuse is getting old.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Northwestern has the best player on the court, is playing better defense and hitting the defensive glass. Northwestern is the better team by a wide margin through the first 12 minutes.

Take care of the ball guys. It worries me that I can already see that we’re tired.

 

[illinipimp]

Not impressed with our effort so far and carelessness with the ball which in what is basically a must win to finish top 4.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Just start driving the lane. Get them in foul trouble

Wheee more turnovers

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Northwestern is the better basketball team and I’m not sure it’s close.

 

[SaintLIllini]

dainja didn’t try to rebound there

 

[eas23]

We have 15 points in 13 minutes yall. That ain't because of NW making 3's.

 

[grantlab]

This is so bad.

[WhiteHorseWings]

Did we even get swept by NU in ‘99?

 

[GallopingGhost]

That was a foul on the Dain TO

 

[SaintLIllini]

offense has been bad

 

[Ramrod2010]

This whole team is so tentative between 5 - 10 feet.

 

[azillini1]

Most games this season we have had too many TO's and poor 3 point shooting. I am beginning to think we won't turn this around.

 

[eas23]

That's an open 3 from the top of the key just bricked.
