Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[InDaAZ]

Why do all of Iowa’s players look like extras in a 1950s Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello beach movie?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Lol... Ok... Yes, the problem with that 9-0 run was us starting Will. I mean, there's a much simpler explanation here I think...

No, it's that offensively, you have guys like Ben, D and Jake on the floor at the same time. That can't happen. There's a lot wrong with that group.

 

[Mistakenj]

None of our guards have good foot speed; really shows on D

humrichous and kylan are nothing but momentum killers

Kylan was in when the momentum was going strong. His defense is about all we’ve got on that end of the court. If he can just stop shooting 3s and drive and dish like he did to KJ, he’s a solid player and needed on the court.

Now can we be tough for a full 40.....

 

[WyattEarp]

Illini defense is indefensible!

This game should not be this close….

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

The big lead the Illini built up!

Someone needs to get in Will’s face and tell him to calm down and wake up! DGL did the same thing when he got the start. Playing way too tight.

Kylan missed 2 3s but already has 4 assists and steal. Our guards are giving up.lay uos so he is back in.

Umm cause they are all McCafferys...

 

[BoiseBaller]

Feels a lot like the MSU game in Champaign....

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

When we take long threes and miss, Iowa is off and running and we're not getting back on defense.

Might big if, he guns threes and forces and misses layups.

There's no rule that says you have to make all those subs at the same time. Sub 1 at a time and rotate. Most coaches do just that

 

[Future Insider]

Illinois doesn’t have a coaching problem they have :
1- A poor shooting team
2- A weak team that hurts them rebounding and playing defense
3- No Sr leadership

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

We play too fast! We are a skill team and would destroy Iowa if we would just run offense instead of iso crap!

Lol

 

[WyattEarp]

Boswell made a layup…hot damn.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Really good back to back possessions

 

[Jon]

FLAGRANT 3!

 

[New Creation]

Finally. Kyle just went up. And now they are looking to switch that foul to KJ.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

man Ivisic is just doing everything...

Express lane to the rim for the rest of the night.
