Game Thread: Illinois vs Fairleigh Dickinson

[CurseoftheChief]

Harmon chucks a lot of air balls from 3.

 

[New Creation]

Now we need a point guard…it is really going to show the rest of the season…. and Domask is 1/30 it feels like from 3.

Woof

 

[grantlab]

This is ugly. Whole situation just sucks all around

 

[Illini8420]

Need to crank up the intensity. FDU is going 100 percent full throttle and we aren’t matching them

 

[pruman91]

no blood no foul D played by fdu.........gotta call those hard hand checks and hacking fouls.................

 

[ChiTown]

We need Dain back in the paint cause the offense is getting quite offensive.

 

[InDaAZ]

The basket must look like this for Marcus behind the arc:

It's going to take a bit of time for the team to find out how to operate without their best player. I'm glad this was before we played FDU and not Purdue.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Man this is hard to enjoy

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Get DGL out and put Dain back in.

 

[jrum48]

Once again, we get nothing from Harmon so why are still playing him? If the senior is only as bad/good as your freshmen then play the freshman!!!!

 

[Jimbo]

Hitting a bad stretch. That’s when we miss a shot producer like you know who.

 

[foby]

FDU reminds me of Southern. Quick and long, but not overly skilled on offense.

Game reminds me of Valpo. Second half hopefully similar results.

 

[Bigtex]

Seems like the tsj news this week has team playing flat.

 

[FloridaMan]

That is a terrible call

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

I would like to see Ty Rodgers at least attempt a 3. I may not like it after I see it but he’s been wide open like 3 times.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Thank goodness FDU can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Our offense....yuck. Not having a guy that can just go get a shot whenever he wants is really hurting.

I'm going to go easy on the boys tonight. Dumbest 24 hours in Illini basketball history.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

He needs time to make some mistakes/get a feel imo

The good news is he's trying to play a team game out there instead of just jacking shots. Sadly as with most freshmen guards, his defense just isn't there. I'm not sure how playable he'll be in B10 play but we'll find out soon

 

[LoveLovie]

Sell out on Dainja!! They have no one to guard him

 

[CDRUSN]

Highway to ...

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

Get DGL out and put Dain back in.

DGL struggling hard

Not sure why Quincy didn’t just shoot that left handed…and avoid the double clutching charge. Just saying.
