Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[GallopingGhost]

This is brutal. Fouls, turnover, can't catch a ball, horrid shooting.

Is this their first game of the year?

It’s been every first half of the year.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I’m actually ready to be done.

Bye

 

[madillini4]

Alright, I'm out. Way too much negativity on here.

I mean, can you blame anyone?

 

[Goillinikobd]

Now Harris is playing hero ball. Not a winning strategy

 

[PassingBy]

10 points
7 Turnovers
5 fouls

in 12 minutes

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Another underwood march special in progress…

 

[Jimbo]

We need something out of shannon and mayer/. Can’t win without it.

 

[LoveLovie]

Missing a lot of layups

 

[illinipimp]

Almost as many turnovers as points. Priceless!

 

[bjp84]

Just once it would be nice for Shannon and Mayer to come out ready to play. Why would it be any different than any other game.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Does anybody else find the scores of the top of the screen distracting?

Considering they've been doing it for years, no.

 

[ChiTown]

Okay let me start drinking now….

 

[CleverHandle1]

This Arkansas team looks very beatable.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Faking an injury??? You serious? This isn't pro wrestling.

And yes, I have played basketball and I know that shoes are important but unless it was a situation where his shoes were untied, there's no need to stop the game for him to put them on when it can be done at the next dead ball.

Nah, I'm not serious.

I'm saying it shouldn't have to go on like that for 3 trips down the floor.

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

Shannon and Mayer 0 points. Thanks guys!

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Oh look, there are other games on, thank goodness.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

So far, looks like a team absolutely lost with zero plan today.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We look like we're in early season form. What is happening?

 

[illinipimp]

shannon and mayer MIA so far. need seniors to play like seniors in the tourney

Combined they have more turnovers then points.

 

[BBlock24]

I

If you came into this thread without watching the game you'd think we were down over 15 points, not 6.

It’s now 9 and they have 10 points in 12 minutes of game time. Hate to sound Uber negative but this is atrocious basketball. Arkansas is playing less atrocious but they have more talent and can get away with mistakes at times.

 

[pvaughn8]

Alright, I'm out. Way too much negativity on here.

If you find positivity elsewhere, I want what they're having!

 

[Ilanoy]

TSJ and Mayer continuing to absolutely disappear in the first half.

More of the same.

 

[Deep]

Game is very winnable if we can can settle in and stop turning the ball over

 

[ChiIllini75]

Can't wait to watch us not change our coverage of the high middle ball screen that has gotten them wide open looks.

 

[CogDog]

Hopefully just some tournament jitters. I think we’ll turn it around. Need to settle down.
