Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[New Creation]

Missing free throws when it matter.. its going to be a free throw fest the last 7 mins.. we have to shoot 80% from the FT for the rest of the game to win this game

Picket is turning it up. Wish Mayer was having a better game, but does have 7 boards.

Starting to get worried.

 

[RockfordIllini]

How is the floor so slippery? I want to win of course but let’s just get out of here with no injuries.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Got to play d keep driving start making ft’s

 

[tell it like it is]

Why are our two best defenders on the bench?

 

[Dr Copejam]

I’m tired of getting beat by Little Richard.

 

[CleverHandle1]

This team forgot how to pass and dribble now at this point in the season! Missed free throws. My God.

 

[Rudd21]

We miss 2 1-1s. They make theirs. Now we’re down 6.

 

[LJ22]

I don't think all the anti-Underwood posts are fair. I do think it is completely fair to question how he lets this team shoot like this from the FT line.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I’m so ready to not see Pickett again.

 

[Epsilon]

I missed the first half. Did Sencire get injured or something?

 

[Illini_Jack]

Biggest Jekyll and Hyde team I've ever seen

 

[BBlock24]

Dumb basketball.

 

[ejam21]

goodness.....have left 5 pts at the line in the last 2 mins or so

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

That's a crap foul. Crap.

 

[Rudd21]

FTs killing us

 

[SaintLIllini]

not a foul

If that’s the case, game over. We have never been a strong free throw team in the Underwood era unfortunately. Prove me wrong fellas!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I'm a pretty even keeled, positive by nature guy, but I'll admit....our execution late in games leaves something to be desired.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Game is going to be over if we can’t get stops

 

[GallopingGhost]

Super unfortunate….

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was really soft D by RJ. Can't do that against Pickett

 

[IlliniForceOne]

This team isn’t winning another basketball game this year.

 

[Dragons89]

Get Melendez out of the game. Rodgers please!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Ridiculous. Dive fast and smother him.
