Game Thread: Illinois vs Arkansas

[illinipimp]

Really happy Mayer is only here one year.

 

[Illini From Michigan]

This team is a joke.

No ball movement. No cutting. Sigh.

 

[CleverHandle1]

1 for his last 20!! Mayer missed another open three. Why is he still in the game?

Does BU not want to hurt his feelings?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

At the game.....Same Mayer, same TSJ on both ends ends = getting run out of the gym and dunked on.

Neither team can shoot threes (the entire year).

Arkansas has figured out how to force us to shoot threes.

Arkansas has also figured out how to get layups and dunks / we have no idea how to force them into threes.

Matt Mayer's defense is killing us right now. I haven't been on a game thread in ages, but I had to say this somewhere - yelling at my TV just wasn't cutting it.

 

[ChiIllini75]

Mayer is looking checked out. Missing shots happens, but he is getting killed on defense by just being unengaged.

 

[danbor]

Wow, we are sucking. Pretty much in character though. Except the missed layups. That's a new thing. Hopefully 2nd half we'll come back. That seems to be a thing with us as well.

 

[chadbrochill420]

Has there been a Terrance Shannon or Mathew Mayer sighting yet???

I genuinely didn't know TSJ was in the arena until he got fouled there

 

[mg93]

We’re gonna come back. Very thankful for cool hand Luke.

Underwood out coached all year. This team runs zero offense. Fake rally in 2nd half…

 

[Illini8420]

Yeah I’m done with the prima donna transfer mercenaries. Get us guys who play team ball and can actually shoot well

 

[bergd91]

Pull Matt out, calming tell him go to hole! My goodness. No defense also!

 

[iillini67]

Meyer take it to the hole.

 

[GallopingGhost]

I hear ya' but isn't that inexcusable at this point? Oh well. It is what it is. Another missed shot. Blowout soon?

Oh it is what it is. We are who we are. Anyone who expected different was kidding themselves

 

[mydosburns]

Mayer isn’t offering anything on offense or defense. Might as well play Dain

 

[Kinkyfish]

Turn out the lights…..the parties over…..before it started….yikes

 

[Mr. Roberts]

They are ready for the off season, I guess.

 

[Deep]

MM seems uninterested in this game

 

[walzon]

the narrative is hpw Arkansas is up by like 10 at half but we still lose by 3...

 

[AEX]

We finally hit a couple shots, then immediately stop playing D. Frustrating

This. You can't get back into this game without stops.

 

[D1959]

Seriously which coach is in charge of our offensive sets? Is it the head coach one of the assistants?
