[illiniguy24]

what a soft call on mirk on the rebound wtf

Very inconsistent foul calling

Man we got to make open 3s when we take them

 

[BashCtIllini]

you've got to make that shot

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Ben is bad man. Just bad…

 

[BDMAN]

We are missing way too many shots when we are wide open

 

[hiberto]

stop chucking threes!!

 

[FoundersClub]

0 for our last 10 from three.

Not how you beat a top 5 team

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Ben’s purpose on this team is to make a wide open shot…what are we doing?

 

[ejam21]

uconn pushing in the back on most boards, somehow not being called

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Be sick if we made a wide open 3

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Let's stop trying to build teams that win by hitting threes; it's not working.

 

[CleverHandle1]

I am tired of BH. It's exhausting. Yes, he hustles, plays hard defense.

Ok. Then don't have him shoot. He's supposed to be hitting these open damn three pointers.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Ben is the least clutch player to ever put on a jersey

 

[FloridaMan]

23% from three. But the two games a year we make them this offense sure looks good!

 

[TampaToo]

Get ready for another UCONN run.

 

[BBlock24]

Michigan, Purdue, and MSU are head and shoulders above the Illini right now. Some players have changed but it looks like the same team as last season.

 

[GTL Adam]

Lee and Z shouldn’t sit the rest of this game if we’re going to have any chance.

 

[Illinisnake]

Sorry but I’d rather have Lee on the floor than wagler right now. We need defense. Lee playing very well

 

[foby]

If we can't get back in when ucons is cold.....well

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Will we make a basket this half?

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

We are missing way too many shots when we are wide open

It’s Ben’s Kryptonite…

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Is that 10 missed 3s in a row. ELITE

 

[Homecoming 2019]

In 22 pages of thread, I've seen cries for:

Tomi
Z
Petrovic
Mirkovic
Ben H

To be benched. Who does these leave?

Edit:

Post 554 added Stojakovic.

I think they call this the goomba fallacy

 

[HailtotheChief]

They are getting some great looks. Big miss by Ben that cuts it to 5! Playing better. Big Z is out playing his brother by a mile.
