Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[BBlock24]

How are they this incapable of grabbing a rebound?

 

[DeeIL89]

OMG! REBOUND THE BALL!

 

[FoundersClub]

At this point guys need to sit if they can’t box out

We are charmin soft

 

[TheodoreRex]

16-6 offensive rebounds- if we could rebound- we'd be walking away with this game.

Mirk looked like he might have translated something we said about toughness.

 

[Illinisnake]

Is anybody going to rebound the ball?? lol this is horrible. We should be up 15

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Figure out the rebounds or lose! Simple truth!

 

[IlliniFan42]

What's the record for time passed before the Illini shoot their first free throw?

 

[CDRUSN]

Vols shooting 4 for 11 from the line. Pitiful, thank goodness. If we could just match their rebounding, we'd be pulling away.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Offensive rebounds the only reason they are in this

 

[illinifan1987]

Did the announcer really just say "Poor man Cam Boozer"? What a goof...

 

[sacraig]

What happened to the rebounding machine I watched earlier this year against Texas Tech? Sheesh.

 

[chief]

Stoyakavic gotta get going

 

[DeeIL89]

Our rebounding effort is killing us.

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

At least Drej grabbed that offensive rebound?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Unless we start rebounding, we are preparing to lose this game.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I'm sorry.... who or what is to blame for this rebounding? This is so putrid.

 

[sacraig]

Mirk poor man's Cam Boozer

Sorry dude that's a stretch

Not if you read these boards 2ish weeks ago.

 

[CentralILLini]

Mirk poor man's Cam Boozer

Sorry dude that's a stretch

He’s basically a Dario Saric clone.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Board man gets paid. None of y'all are making it to the league if you're this marshmallowy soft going for a rebound.

 

[ChiTown]

Our rebounding effort is killing us.

You mean lack of effort.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Worst rebounding game of the underwood era?

 

[JJE]

Part of the reason we don’t get offensive rebounds is our idiotic offensive scheme that has 3-4 players around the arc at all times. You miss a shot and everyone is on the perimeter.

 

[skyIdub]

I'm sorry.... who or what is to blame for this rebounding? This is so putrid.

75% Effort. 15% Toughness. 9% Luck. 1% Height.

It always look like our guys are tipping the ball rather than grabbing it with their hands.
