Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[LoveLovie]

Just like that!! Let’s go

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Shannon is ridic

 

[NarrowJ]

And that's what we can do in a hurry - 9 point lead is now 2

Defense has been a joke for over a month. I don't understand what happened some weeks ago. We were at one point top 10 in nation. Now over 100. ??

 

[WeWillWhen]

This defense is not ideal. PSU on pace to score 103.

Half court offense

 

[BBlock24]

No names having a career day against Illinois. Water. Wet.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Hmmm… well I hate this

 

[TheodoreRex]

another game, another team shooting well over 50% from fg range against us... this time currently 69.2%

I need Coleman to stop complaining to the refs. Play, dude. Get into rhythm and take care of business

I think at that point we had mainly played Q4 cupcakes (with the exception of Marquette).

They have us sped up. Slow it down. They are winning the race now

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Coleman looking pretty frail on those drives :/

 

[ChiTown]

Hope the guys settle down and play fundamental basketball game.

 

[FloridaMan]

Why do we never call timeouts? Pathetic, pathetic stretch of basketball. And it all starts with defense. What will we look like against a tournament team?

 

[BoiseBaller]

I have to laugh at the pregame thread predictions saying we will win by 15+. On the road. These games are rarely not close.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

We simply need to get used to expecting everybody’s best shot. Even if we survive today, Iowa will come into Champaign playing for its NCAAT life. Get your heads right, boys!!

 

[abchew2]

These Coleman drives are just turnovers right now.

 

[NarrowJ]

How a coaching staff with probably the 5 most collectively tall & athletic players in the league can roll out a defense like this game after game is crazy to me. Because I know they're a top staff. What the heck is going on?

 

[blife]

CoHawk adjust brain please. Stop with the dribble drives

 

[stlrunner]

Sputtering start, but we’ll be fine.

Tennessee? FAU???

 

[Bigtex]

Defense is trash. And where is the time out? Hate that Brad won’t call one to stop early game uglies.

About 75% of the games he doesn’t use his first half timeout.
