Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

[FromTheLogo]

I hate to say it, but QG struggles with finishing at the rim.

 

[HailtotheChief]

No shots for TSJ or Domask. Ugh
...freak D but gotta have our best players get the ball.

Also make lay ups!

Good lord we are playing tight. Relax and play hard.

Spoiler alert: At half the score is 7-5.

Cohaek doing great at pulling FAU bigman away from rim. Well big guards post up and work fau's smaller guards at rim.

I hate it when Coleman hesitates like that when he has a solid shoot look

CoHawk has no idea how to score against a smaller defender it... would appear.

Those first 2 possessions made it look like a high scoring game was in line, then a bunch of missed shots happened for 5 minutes.

Interesting moment when TSJ threw it away. He should have passed to the player on the wing, but he saw it was Ty so he didn't. Because, you know, he's not a shooter.

I like Ty, but that's a moment where you can see how his lack of offense screws up the flow.

The sloppy passing and dumb turnover issues have not been solved yet. We could commit them in bunches and still bury Rutgers. Not so with FAU and Tenn, need to get this cleaned up, and start a scoring run.

What was up with the opening tip. Bad karma right off the bat.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Turned on ESPN, I thought, but it appears to be coverage of a bricklayers' convention.

..........I believe........................I really really do....................

Cohawk just needs to shoot the ball he has passed up about 3 open looks and turned one into a tougher look

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Hasn't been pretty thus far, but we can win a brickfest game like this. Keep up the defense and start pounding the ball

Luke is so good at his role

 

[so illini]

Way to go Luke!

 

[PopChampaign]

This isn’t a very fun game to watch. Just waiting for either side to do something offensively.

Id prefer our side lol

 

[PopChampaign]

Those jerseys are CLEAN love the script Illinois

 

[Bigtex]

[so illini]

Good D

 

[LoveLovie]

Shannon got his daily air ball out of the way

 

[whatahack]

Don't know where these refs are from, but I think they're calling a good game

 

[PopChampaign]
