Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[Indy Illini Fan]

No sane person wants him fired, but it may be best for everyone if he just leaves on his own.

This is the take … Couldn’t have said it better myself …

 

[Birdus]

Humrichous is useless.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I would've laughed if that Kylan 3 went down. Been that sort of game

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Send the NIL to football.

 

[whatahack]

I'd bet anything we would make a hail mary 3 at the end

 

[DeeIL89]

Ty Rodgers redshirted only to see this horrid shooting. Shame.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Keep Bos on Flagg.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Not watching and thrilled I'm not. This team is done.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

ZERO FOR FIFTEEN

It’s been a few years, but I am hitting at least one of you give me fifteen tries. The shooting on this team needs to be studied.

Makes it even worse when we’re 15/18 from 2.

 

[illini80]

83% from 2

 

[PasadenaIllini]

When the PBP guy starts singing Men at Work songs, you know the game is out of hand.

We were shooting like 36% from 3 after our first 15ish games

I think we are barely over 20% since then, which yes, you can't explain that, nobody can

What the actual **** happened to these guys?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Everything about this season feels like the ultimate heat-check for a coach. From the way he handled his assistants, to the way he constructed this roster, and even the scheduling of this game. Brad thought he had everything figured out. And instead, it's blown up in all of our faces.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

He made the shot after, so it's moot.

 

[WyattEarp]

I'm almost at the point where I'm like someone please hold me, I'm scared

 

[stlrunner]

DGL with just 7 minutes in the first half. SMH.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ben will hit a couple when we’re down 31 with 6 minutes left.

Ben's 0 for 3. Others have missed 13 3s too! Ben isnt the only one missing 3s! It just sucks because several were fine looks these guys can make. It's a mental issue like Jackson mentioned when it's this bad.

That said our D is just as big an issue.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

If we were 33% from 3 in the half, we'd be down 2

 

[TheodoreRex]

HAHAHAHAHA, most points Duke has scored in one half the entire season. We just gave up 54 points in one half.

And remember, the ACC is BADDDDD, so Duke hasn't scored this many points in one half against some AWFUL teams. Let that sink in

 

[Rooftop]

Brad is the coach … Coach to your players strengths … It ain’t chucking more 3s …

This crap is on Brad …

Can’t fully agree. Watching in person. Our personnel are not even close to theirs

 

[LarryGotFouled]

This is the take … Couldn’t have said it better myself …

He's just not a top10 or top 20 coach. Not terrible but not able to execute on the level he's being paid.

 

[Oracle21]

Duke 54 points most in a half all year. Morez really is the difference between an ok defense and a terrible defense

 

[SuperMetroid]

My wife is from a tiny town in Central Ohio. Over Christmas we went to visit and watch her nephew play in a high school game. This is the kind of school that’s so small they have like 9 kids on the entire team. One of their players made 4 threes in one quarter.

 

[88_ILLINI]

Get Ben out. Keep Ben out

Illini 0 for 16 - The record for the most consecutive missed three-point shots by a team in NCAA Division I men's basketball is held by the University of Kentucky. They missed 24 consecutive three-point attempts in a game against Vanderbilt on February 11, 2017

So, you are saying there is a chance!
