Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[LuckyIllini]

Why is this team so bad at shooting the 3 ball?

 

[Goillinikobd]

Did we recruit him?

 

[New Creation]

So many chances there to cut it to 6 and take the last shot of the half. What do we do? Rush it and then give up a foul on the other end with 2.0 seconds left..

all of that … was very low IQ

 

[FightinIllini30]

Nothing is better than a possession that we get 4 shots and we take 4 3s

 

[skyIdub]

Should have NEVER made Tyler an assistant ... He should have earned his stripes somewhere else ... You do NOT get your first coaching job at Illinois ... Period ... Should NOT be coordinating our offense ...

Hamer ... He was a WNBA video coordinator ... Should NEVER have been made an assistant coach ... Should NOT be coordinating our defense ...

Brad has FAILED to realize he messed up on this and own it and correct the issue ...

Our boosters need to nail him and JW to the wall with this.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I think it must be against the laws of physics for us to make 3s on consecutive possessions.

 

[Dragons89]

KJ is injured but it’s not just that. These decisions are not because of the injury.

 

[BashCtIllini]

2-15 from 3 is maddening.

you're not used to that yet?

 

[biglug58]

Wish I had a pic of him, Trent, and DMFW together ... All 3 of those guys had the freaking fire in their belly !!!!!

Throw in Ayo and Kofi….man!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Good last couple possessions from Ben there. Toughest look from 3 he had all night and buried it

 

[eas23]

Hire Latulip…for either position

Another guy who has never been a coach?

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

TAKE THE LAST SHOT WHEN YOU GET THE BOARD

 

[Ryllini]

Stop the ball!

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ugh I wish we had held for last shot!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Why the @#%$ didn't Ben hold that ball for the last shot?

 

[jumpingjack]

No idea how we didn't draw a charge there. Harper was never giving that up.

 

[Jon]

Honestly, dumpster fire half but in range still

 

[skyIdub]

KJ is a disaster. And no longer a lottery pick

Lmao.....disaster.

There's hot takes....and then there's surface of the sun takes.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Why is Ben taking that shot??? No shot clock.

 

[SuperMetroid]

2-15 from 3 is maddening.

Now 2-17. If we could just shoot like *crap* we’d be ahead.

 

[TheodoreRex]

I thought this team had good basketball IQ.. I was wrong... We get the offensive rebound there from Kylan, at which point we have to get the last shot... Nope, Ben fires away and we give them 2 in transition. Potential 4 point swing. Good Hell.

 

[GrayGhost77]

This has to be the most bipolar Illinois team in history.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Per Brad on pregame radio show Tre spent most of the last two days in bed with the flu.

The second time with the "flu" in a week and a half ...

 

[DeeIL89]

We have 2 coaches who have absolutely no business being in the position they are in and they are controlling our offense and defense ...

This stretch that we've been on has exposed the biggest elephant in the room and that's who we got running the offense and defense. Cannot wait til we make changes to the coaching staff this offseason.

 

[Ryllini]

All things considered...
