Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[Chad Fleck]

Lmao....an AAU team could get 70 on us.

I truly don't know where the defense went wrong. They were quite good pre-witch hunt.

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Phantom 3rd foul on Q

 

[Fighting I 95]

Bad by cohawk there and we always seem to allow and ones. Love the offense and TSJ this gane tho!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

5 fouls to 1 this half. I hope they don't find their FT range.

How bad are we at guarding the ball? This team needs SH. I hope his redshirt doesn’t cost us when it matters most

 

[SuperMetroid]

I’ve accepted in my soul that we’re just going to have to outscore teams to make an NCAA run this year

 

[Zorak]

When Terrence is playing like this I think we can beat anybody

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Is Hawkins drunk?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Someone told our guys that yiu win by scoring more points. Same guy failed to mention that it is also good to NOT let the other team score. These guys are fun to watch - on offense!

We're playing like Iowa. 132-126 final score this weekend?

I think that’s how it works most years.

An undersized team is beating us in the paint.

 

[Goillinikobd]

Gonna need that bench tonite, 2 many fouls

SH won’t play this year. Can we move on and talk about SH when the season ends Pleeeeeese

 

[Mr. Roberts]

That was a slow whistle. And he did get hit.

 

[Fighting I 95]

We never help and allow easy layups to teams who are known as low end shooters. Our poor defense seems more on the coaching than anything

 

[skyIdub]

The old basketball ghosts in the Rec Hall don't recognize this game.

Thanks, John Madden. LOL!

 

[InDaAZ]

TJ downhill…

 

[altgeld88]

I’m sure his kids have their own lives now. He has all morning and afternoon with his wife. He loves basketball. He’s not hurting anyone anymore.

It’s exchanges like this in the midst of a Biblically horrendous defensive performance that makes me fall off my barstool laughing and giving thanks for this marvelous virtual community we enjoy here.

 

[pruman91]

this half..........Illini 13.....psu 8.........we got to keep scoring if we keep playing this crappy of defense.............

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Coleman and Luke might have to sit today

 

[Champaign88]

Goode comes in the game, the other team immediately runs two plays to get him into the top of the key defender position because we switch everything. The other team knows this and takes advantage of it. We do nothing to adjust and probably won’t for the whole season….

 

[BBlock24]

Interior defense is still a PROBLEM.

 

[LuckyIllini]

CH getting exposed on defense. No energy. Play Amani at this point and send a message.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Marcus has gotta be frustrating as heck to defend. Ace looks so annoyed lol.
