Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[UDillini]

We will continue to shoot threes and they probably start to fall and still not worried.. but what an easy adjustment to make in a game like this to get downhill..

I had the referees sent to me but you’re right it’s definitely DJC … And he wasn’t on the list I got …

Interesting …

Does it rhyme with "the mix is sin"?

Interesting …

Maybe Mirk threw up on the other one.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

These refs are badddddddd

Andrej, Bam, and Wagler driving creates SO many problems for the defense. It should be options 1, 2, and 3.

But the analytics say shoot more 3s when you’re 2-16 …

 

[SeattleSlim]

We have no pivot to the make threes offense …

Simple hi-lo would be effective. Why it’s not used???

 

[DICKnaggie]

So … Are we ready to talk about this offense yet …

Need … To … Stop … Chucking …

And we need someone who can develop post players. That isn't happening right now. It's great to have bigs that can pick and pop, but we ignore the roll and our multiple bigs have nothing in the post. They are bad. Waisted talent and it doesn't look good in terms of player development.

When the 3's aren't falling, go to the hoop.

 

[HailtotheChief]

There we go. Make shots n we are ok

Or at least be an option to pivot to …

Collins is smart- packing in the paint and allowing our backcourt to think they're more open than they are. We're settling unfortunately. Gotta make an effort to go inside

Even our best looks from 3 come off the drive and kick.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Mirk calls bank!

 

[BBlock24]

The bank is open late in Evanston!

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

What happened to Mirk's jersey? 52?

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Mirk def looks pale and drained.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Our defense has been so good lately … Not been impressed tonight and it’s mainly effort stuff I’m seeing …

Bad switching …

 

[Todd99]

Radio guys said Mirk’s jersey got ripped. Didn’t say how.

 

[foby]

Bank.

 

[biglug58]

Bank is open! For a second, I thought David was gonna hurl after that

I wonder if Wagler is dealing with something. He’s gotten more rest than I thought so far and he hasn’t looked himself.

 

[GTL Adam]

Mirk’s facial expressions have looked awful tonight despite playing really well still. Warrior
