Game Thread: Illinois vs Kentucky

[robow7]

Over half our shots are 3's and we're hitting less than 20%, so tired of this same sh!tt. Throw in 8 turnovers and I'm surprised we're even still in this game.

 

[Jimbo]

Careless foul by Ivisic.

Gotta get Will going we wont win if he cant get going

 

[bjp84]

We need WILL and KJ to show up
Someone needs to make a 3

Bad matchup for Will. Bigger body on him and can’t shake him.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

2 of 12 from 3. The quality is not the same though as the Xavier game. That was a BAD shot by Boswell (but he's been great). KJ's had some too.

 

[Illiniguy13]

We went 100% at the line last game yet we just refuse to drive

 

[Chad Fleck]

No one can stop Boswell from driving to the hoop so he chucks an NBA three. Ivisic over the back.

We are just not a smart team.

I don't mind that shot. He was 4/4. Seeing the ball go through that many times, see if you can get a 5th for an extra point.

KJ'S shots on the other hand....

 

[hiberto]

Still at 7 fouls.

how many games now have we refused to go inside once we get in the bonus?

 

[ILL21]

Problem is their best player has two fouls and we did not take advantage

Name checks out.

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

Brad’s snap interview was less than inspiring

It almost always is.

Either truculent or mystified. Sometimes both.

 

[Epsilon]

We don’t actually need to take/make threes if we can just drive it down their throats.

 

[DeeIL89]

Kentucky hasn't been that all impressive in this game. That's what frustrating. We gave them this lead with our stupid mental collapses.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Get to the free throw line!

I do not understand why we are shooting threes when we are in the bonus.

 

[Scoregasm]

Note: turnovers stop when Kylan is our primary ballhandler.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Kentucky been on 7 fouls for the last 8 minutes

This has happened COUNTLESS times this year (for the MSU disaster, it was over 12 minutes). Absolute fail by the staff. Even if you miss every single FT, it gets UK in foul trouble!

 

[blife]

WR has to take some open shots on the perimeter, too much length in the paint for the turnaround

 

[azillini1]

Riley hesitant with the ball right now

Yes, he only has 1 point. He needs to get involved and drive the lane

 

[DrMac210]

Calling it now. Ben makes two threes before half. Illini within 3 at half.

Would love that compared to giving up a 8-0 run to UK before the half like usual

 

[WeWillWhen]

Taken 12 of 23 shots from three despite UK being in foul trouble. Just not smart ball.

 

[Champaign88]

I don't mind that shot. He was 4/4. Seeing the ball go through that many times, see if you can get a 5th for an extra point.

KJ'S shots on the other hand....

He’s 4/4 on 2 foot shots.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Attaboy Tre. Don't settle. Go to the basket!

 

[JJE]

Love the perimeter defense. Thanks hammer

 

[foby]

Tre is here

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go, Tre!
