Game Thread: Illinois at UCLA

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Missed a bunch of shots. Bad decisions on passes. Got beat like a drum on defense.

Literally had 4ast to 1TO before that sequence. Even with that turnover he has a 2 to 1 ratio (4ast, 2TO). Please contemplate staying a bit more even keeled.

However brother we were also shooting lights out from 3 to start the game you know what they say about a shooting team that has some of us wooried?

 

[BWBW]

Win each 5 minute stretch, guys.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That was clearly a foul on Biladeau.

 

[CDRUSN]

Give em the Heater Jake!

Tomi looking like December Tomi…

That was clearly a foul on Biladeau.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw that. Kids a bit dirty.

Thank baby basketball Jesus for Jake and Ben.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Good first 2 min

 

[BoiseBaller]

Gotta stop biting on pump fakes.

Keaton continues to get mugged. Finally a call.

 

[FloridaMan]

FTs Dammit!!!!

 

[DeeIL89]

Like a good neighbor Jake Davis is there.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Our inbounds plays are making me a little nervous. We're often just barely getting the ball over the defenders.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Am I dreaming or are our out of bounds plays way different tonight?

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Wagler has to get fouled 4 times before they call a single foul. Ridiculous.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Keaton being manhandled on every possession of every game is getting old

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If Tomi isn't going to bother challenging the guy he is guarding today, Z needs to be in instead

 

[Flyin' Illini]

True, but the refs are allowing a lot of bumping on both ends.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Tomi's been horrible at getting out to shooters.

 

[HailtotheChief]

2 great looks for Keaton and Jake. Damn it.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Good looks, bad outcome.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Terrible pick and roll defense.

 

[BBlock24]

Where did the good defense go?

 

[FloridaMan]

Yep, looks like Z is the much better option tonight. I don't get Brad's stubbornness sometimes. If they wanna drag our bigs out, throw some zone at them.
