I’ll never understand why we suck so bad against Maryland. They are not that good, yet we just crater against them.

They match up really well against us. Simple as that. Frankly they're the exact type of team I'd build to beat us. Physical guards, bruising athletic front court. That's pretty much our kryptonite.

Unfortunately for us, Maryland also decided to shoot absolutely unconscious from 3 tonight. So, down 20 in under 10 minutes.

Stupid shot Tre!

 

[BTM33]

Not ready to play.

They are not this bad, but we immediately came out playing intimidated.

When things are difficult...call a timeout...then...

RUN. AN. OFFENSE.

 

[New Creation]

Tomi. You just crushed the team.

 

[PopChampaign]

I’m out guys enjoy the evening

 

[NashvILLe05]

Our Euros play like knuckleheads too much.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Last night's offensive shooting performance masked the crap show defensive gameplan.

Simply not good enough on defensive end, and that needs to change if any semblence of a run next week is to happen.

Edit: The record points scored by Illini last night is in serious jeopardy tonight.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Aaaaaaand that's 3 on Ivisic. That is probably game over

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Maryland has 6 fouls, Brad! Not only are those essential points you can score at the FT line with the clock stopped … Maryland isn’t deep, and if their big guys get in foul trouble, our chances go up exponentially.

This isn’t rocket science! Attack the hoop!!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

lol Tomi

Well at least we will be a 6 seed…

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Tomi...

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Coaching leaves a lot to be desired

 

[FromTheLogo]

Travel on Reese. They just don't call it on Maryland's big men.

 

[Jimbo]

We gotta learn how to play with fouls.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Worst Riley has looked in a while

 

[HailtotheChief]

Will missing lhis second lay uos

 

[azillini1]

Tomi with 3 fouls will make it difficult to get back into this game. Has the feel of the Duke game

 

[punchabove33]

There is a lid on the rim.

MOREZ hopefully with a statement block.

 

[Zorak]

At what point do I turn this game off

 

[SuperMetroid]

What a !!!!ing joke

 

[Ramrod2010]

Hey live shot of me right there.

 

[Epsilon]

Yeah let’s foul on a 3 now. Geez.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Not a lick of brains out there right now.
