Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[zentrails]

We look gassed, maybe our 7 man rotation has caught up to us? hope not

I trust jake will make a big shot. They are focused on Keaton. Time for others to step up.Rebounding and fightung for the ball. We are gonna be in the bonus soon. Attack and make good passes.

I'd throw some MJ/Kobe iso looks at them with Wagler. Clear one whole side and dare them to leave two on him.
One on one and let him get some rhythm.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Surprised by that. Surprise

Agree....but there are not too many teams with Sparty's athleticism, smarts, and coaching. There is a reason they are a top defensive team.

 

[Todd99]

I feel like I’ve played twelve minutes myself!!

 

[Ramrod2010]

Yeah, reeks of past years where we couldn't/wouldn't change offensive game plan despite it not working.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

First game I can recall Keaton pressing. He's forcing it a bit.

 

[HouTexIllini]

I wish somebody in the Illinois staff could take away the better way to play defense in the pick-n-roll than the horrible drop coverage we’ve played the last 2-3 years.

Michigan state is taking Wagler out of the game with it.
