Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[Iamgroot]

Ouch

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

I mean that's good defense from Wagler and a better shot from Philon.. You just can't let him get inside.

Philon killed us last year, and he’s doing it again this year.

Really frustrating loss

 

[Illini1977]

When’s the last time they didn’t score, we’ve had chances

 

[LuckyIllini]

Defense sucks

 

[ILLFAN67]

We just can’t get a stop

 

[TrahNeb]

Seriously so disappointed

 

[New Creation]

Why is Bam not guarding Philon… nothing has changed on defense

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Now would be a good time for that out of bounds play

 

[Mistakenj]

This what happens when you’re full of slow, unathletic players

 

[Epsilon]

Need a 3 and a stop

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

It’s been Hamer time this second half

 

[BrownTown]

FT line loses you a winnable game. Hope this isn't a recurring theme

 

[SuperMetroid]

Getting beat by one dude now

 

[Illiniam1984]

I hope we see this team again in March…Would like another crack at them.

 

[FloridaMan]

GET IT BRAD!!!!!! Fire someone the !!!! up!!!!

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I really think Bama benefits by already losing a game. Makes a team better. This is a good loss. And Pet and Tomi combine for six. We will get better from here.

What’s Brad upset about?

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I just don't understand this closing lineup.

Stoj won't hit 3s, isn't hitting FTs and is going 1 for 3
Bam has been passive and not played great
Ben is mimicking what comes out of a cows anus
Z has not played well
Wagler has not played well

Dude he's the only one who's doing his job on defense the last 5 minutes. Gotta stop reflexively hating on this guy.

We don't have alot of options on the bench due to the team's health status. Andrej and Bam are the two who have been keeping us in the game.

ANOTHER MISSED TRAVEL

 

[derrick6]

Push off on the offense and no call…

 

[FloridaMan]

What’s Brad upset about?

Bama guy pushed off. But refs are gutless so they will swallow the whistle.

 

[Epsilon]

Deadball contact foul GMAFB

If our frontcourt was healthy we win this game. Sadly Tomi and Z only seem like they're at 60 percent out there tonight.
