Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee

[JAbada]

Have to rebound

 

[PopChampaign]

Look, play defense we win this game

 

[skyIdub]

Take the punch. Stay close.

 

[JSpence]

10-0 run...

That's basketball. This team is tough, but it's hard not to let frustrating fouls lead to frustration fouls. Can't let that happen.

 

[tcb13]

shannon actually looked timid on that take, tried to scoop rather than take it to the rim

 

[FloridaMan]

We are not helping ourselves by being outhustled now

 

[Da88]

This game turned on that bs flagrant 1

 

[dbeverly26]

Shannon can’t shy away from contact like that, whether he’s getting calls or not

 

[sacraig]

That was a really weak attempt at a rebound there, especially by Hawkins. Ends in a Knecht 3. Kind of looked like the start of the game when we were being outworked.

 

[illinipimp]

Four turnovers in a half and a one point lead?

I was replying to the original post of our offense not having any movement not the score or turnovers. And it’s a fact we don’t have a true point guard.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Not sure how they don't call the moving screen on 30 there. That was worse than Dain's

 

[BBlock24]

Lmao grab the freaking rebound.

 

[jacekpardol]

Illinois playing 5 on 8, gg

 

[abchew2]

Getting out hustled. Not good to see

 

[InDaAZ]

The aptly named Knecht…

 

[Illini_Jack]

Nothing going our way right now

 

[azillini1]

Domask only 1 of 8 and 2 points and Shannon 2 of 10. A reversion to the mean from last game. We need these guys to get going on offense.

Seems like they are shooting further out from the basket this game than the last.

 

[hiberto]

they are getting all the 50/50 balls

 

[WeWillWhen]

Well that was an ugly 4 minutes. Take a breath. Regroup.

 

[thehass]

We are being out hustled and out fought now.

 

[jerojohe]

This game turned on that bs flagrant 1

The refs have just completely ruined another game.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Man we had a decent hold on this until that hook and hold. Need to reset here and force someone else to make shots besides Knecht.

 

[skyIdub]

Welp.....you gotta have the "want". UT has it right now.

 

[Spokane Illini]

Crowd is really roaring now. We are looking shell shocked. Not running our offense.

 

[walzon]

we just have no answers for their strengths, and they have answers for ours
