Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee
- Status
Have shot 30 plus 3s with 5 minutes left. We have done this in the past 4 games. That is the difference.
Wow what s**t call on CH with a ref that had no visibility of non foul
Tenn. obviously did their homework on the scout and Barnes has them executing every facet of a perfect game plan. Illini can match them, especially on a neutral court, but there are still a bunch of concepts that need to be learned. It appears the Vols have learned from their failures and paid attention....and they will be rewarded with a win. Let's hope the Illini can do the same and be rewarded in March and April.
Those numbers can't be attributed to one position or to one guy. The ball stopped moving and settling for contested threes happened again. We took 20 in the first half. There was no real effort to get the ball into the paint for easy buckets. Have to credit UT for a bunch of that.
No subs??? Too many minutes for the 5 on the floor.
There have been a lot of stoppages.
I will take this… better to not peak now
We scored 98 points last game with 10 total assists. You clearly don’t understand how our offense operates, all good though.
Like Jay Wright said those were good looks fir Goode n Domask. Got to make those when they are doubling TSJ and punish em. Far from over, had the hit em its a 3 point game. Got to make em to close this game.
Vescovy absolutely wiped out one of our guys with a moving screen before that Terrence layup
Illini are 9-35 from behind the arc. 
Conversely, if Ty isn't playing defense and rebounding, he's a liability. One guy is never the reason for a meltdown. Plus, UT is really good.
Not enough, evidently. And definitely not on our defensive end
Not really too upset about this one. The FAU and Rutgers wins were nice.
Let's see what we can learn from this moving forward. That's why you schedule and play these types of games. I think we'll be alright.

The advanced stats are showing that Harmon has been our worst defender this year. Eye test has him and DGL as our worst two on that end of the floor. Justin has done much better the past couple games especially on the offensive end, but his defense really has left a lot to be desired this season
Our best three players are 8-34. Everything else is details.

idk, I think CH has had his best game. He has to stay home, they are too good at the next pass
Stat of the game. Highlight, bold and italicize. This occurred while UT pounded the paint and got offensive boards. That's 100% on offensive execution and effort.Illini are 9-35 from behind the arc.
