Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[SuperMetroid]

Getting nauseous watching endless shots of that kid chewing his mouthpiece like a cow

 

[FloridaMan]

We've figured out how to attack them on offense by feeding Tre diving down the lane. Good adjustment by the staff. Now we gotta figure out some way to limit their easy looks. Also be nice if our guys who are supposed to be able could hit an open three.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

2 for 12 from three. We live by it and .....

Queen's mouth guard isn't going to do him much good if he's always got it hanging out of his mouth chewing on it.

Welp. This game stinks

 

[Illini4Christ]

Sure wish we had big Z THIS year!!!

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Can't help but feel like this game is already long over. Not hitting open threes and the guards are having to play superman to get to the basket. Really disappointing. Big Ten title pretty much out of reach if we lose.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

We really should be down double digits with as poorly as we have shot and rebounded

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Can we double the post for once to Save our Souls?

 

[ILL-Intentions]

If Brad or the bench is gonna get a T, let’s do it soon while we can take advantage of it the rest of the game.

 

[NashvILLe05]

KJ, time to show up.

 

[azillini1]

Getting out-rebounded 20 to 13, with not 1 offensive rebound. Maryland has 5 Offensive rebounds. Need to do better or we are not going to win this

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We need our 3pt shooters to drain their open 3s and it just isn't happening this half. Just a really tough game to have an awful shooting night

 

[Boswell4Three]

Just an awful matchup for us with Big T out

 

[chief]

I have the same feeling as the USC game, helpless!!

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

This is such a bad shooting team it’s hard to fathom.

 

[illiram]

Does anyone have Tony Petitti's (Big 10 Commissioner) email or phone number? It's time we expressed our disdain for the poor officiating.

this game is definitely not over.

KJ, why are you step back threeing when Queen is on you...?

Need to get fouls on their big guys to even this up. We aren’t even trying to though….

 

[CleverHandle1]

This is God awful. Where is the defense. Some bad shots.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Give it a minute.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Dead serious - do we need to use a different ball? We can’t shoot for d$&@ in our own gym.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini have a talent advantages....if they hit shots and play smart. Neither is happening. MD. has a huge talent advantages in the frontcourt and they should ride it to a win.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Tomi looks like he’s gonna hurl. Get him home

 

[Bigtex]

If Illinois loses tonight

Same number of home losses in January as self had in 3 seasons

Need to regain home court advantage
