Game Thread: Illinois vs UCLA

[SuperMetroid]

At least that horrific stretch of basketball ground the clock down to 2 minutes

I hate saying it but UCLA has the potential to be Purdue West under Cronin

Is there even any limitation on a screener?? Bilodeau leaning, stepping out, and reaching out with him arms all night long and no calls? Is there a rule I don’t know about that? The B1G is a joke.

Funny to see Mick pissed lol

It really, really isn’t it.

 

[Orangetool]

Man White must have really messed up.

 

[CDRUSN]

Does no coach on our staff emphasize or teach ball security? Our TOs have been a glaring weakness all year, and will kill us in the tournament if not addressed.

 

[SweetLuh]

Morez sitting this long is inexcusable!!

 

[KBLEE]

Funny to see Mick pissed lol

Yeah - at least he's not a complete douche like Izzo or Fran when he mad.

It's amazing how we can go to great to good grief in the blink of an eye.

 

[Trueblue777]

Kasparas needs to tighten it up

 

[OB positive]

Here comes the pressure.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini up in rebounding by 14...but give the all back with 14 turnovers. Some of the best and worst of quality hoops play. On the other hand, Bruins shooting 10 for 20 from the arc. and still down by 8 in the final two min.

Ben had Mack on a mismatched and couldn't do anything going into booty ball. Gees.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Red hot UCLA comes to Champaign. Their big man makes SEVEN THREES. Illini up 8 with 2:20 to go. Board must be very happy, right? Right?

Edit: nevermind. We suck again.

With the shot clock running down, Ben is the last person I want to have the ball trying to slowly back down his man.

Tomi standing wide open. I'm done with Ben. Done.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Morez sitting this long is inexcusable!!

Ok:

1)He can't guard the perimeter
2)He's a poor foul shooter.

This is not the best of matchups for Morez

 

[jumpingjack]

Get Tomi back in the post for a few possessions.

Me watching them screen tonight

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Thank goodness UCLA stepped out of bounds there

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Dumb dumb dumb! Get a shot at the basket please!

 

[DeeIL89]

Defense needs to get stops.

 

[FromTheLogo]

They are hunting Tomi because he is wiped out.

Now the dreaded under 1 minute timeout. Geez.

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

This is the dumbest team in America.

 

[maxatlof]

Allllllllot of stupid !!!!ing shots

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Staff is gonna cost us this game
