Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee

[illinifreak30]

I haven’t been overly upset at the refs but do agree the game changed on the flagrant 1. I honestly thought they were reviewing it for a hook and hold on the Tennessee player. Ty was the one jumping and restricted from elevating.

One of the worst calls in NCAA history

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

No show today by both TSJ and Domask. With out Quincy we would be getting blown out

They’ve made a point to take TSJ and Domask out of the game, and by doing so have left Quincy and Hawkins open. We made them pay for that in the first three quarters of the game, not so much of late.

 

[CDRUSN]

They are putting us away now, outfighting us, and the Illini have no answer. Not disappointed with our team, but if we go down, I want it to be with us fighting them down the final stretch. Go Illini.

Four turnovers in a half and a one point lead?

7 minutes left and we have 6 assists. Again evidence of no true point guard.

 

[New Creation]

Can we really blame the refs…

 

[FloridaMan]

Unfortunately, I think our guys let the bad calls overcome the confident play they displayed in the first half. Should learn from this one either way.

 

[jezzadownunder]

That flagrant on Rodgers was the change in the game.

 

[PopChampaign]

there defense is better than ours

 

[ChiTown]

It’s over. 2-1 ain’t bad.

Depending on how much you get beat by.

 

[azillini1]

Excluding Shannon and Domask, the rest of the team is 14 for 31... not bad. Shannon is getting to the foul line lately, but not enough FG's made in the paint by our 2 stars from the FAU game

 

[jacekpardol]

CH has watched at least half a dozen times as a Vol drives the lane right to him. This is not his best defensive game.

Matador defense. He’s been doing it all year

 

[eas23]

Gonna go ahead and guess Brad didn't draw up a Hawkins stepback 3 in the timeout.

 

[battle]

Instead of complaining about the referees non calls,we need to forced them to make the calls by keep driving the ball in the paint rather than settling for all this crazy jumpers.

The point is that you can drive all day but when you can't convert because you are being fouled you stop driving

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

They are gassed. Long 3 game road trip. Can't win when your two best players are 3-20

I appreciate your insight, but that's an excuse. We played on Tuesday and we played a solid first half. Had 20 minutes to go and got out of sorts. Can't/Shouldn't happen with a senior heavy team.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Jacking up bad threes isn’t gonna do it

 

[BretMyBeachHouse]

They are gassed. Long 3 game road trip. Can't win when your two best players are 3-20

Please. Four days of rest. Every bad performance doesn't need an excuse. If this situation gasses them, then we are toast in March.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Playing well with an equal team on the road. Got to make shots and get rebounds. Don't just jack 3's (Meyer is gone). It time for a super hero TSJ

 

[illinipimp]

They’ll never stop. We could win the Natty by 10 points and they’d say we’d have won by 20 if we had a true pg

7 minutes left and only 6 assists. And you’ll still be saying not having a point guard doesn’t matter.

 

[LuckyIllini]

If Domask isn’t scoring he’s a liability.

 

[Illini_Jack]

If they get another offensive rebound, I'm going to punch a wall

 

[FloridaMan]

How was that a foul on our guys going for a rebound? I give up

 

[cjw1901]

CH called a T on Oglesby.

 

[Rap47]

DGL can't be a worse defensive player than Harmon.

 

[Illynois]

Ahh, yes. Settle for another three
