Game Thread: Illinois at UCLA

[Keisersose]

Zone was effective.

 

[Illinidrew]

Getting out worked, missing open shots, and missing free throws. Gross.

Wagler is cold from deep tonight

 

[SCottm]

If this turns into a free throw game, we are in trouble.

 

[FloridaMan]

Is Brad sick tonight? Somebody better ask him why Z has played 9 minutes. WTF is he doing?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If a reporter doesn't ask Brad why he sat Z all 2nd half until the 5min mark in the postgame, I will be furious. I do not understand Brad's decision whatsoever.

 

[Ty’s jump shot]

Kylan likely broken nose

Boswell back from the locker room

 

[hoopsfan47]

Playing better but UCLA is getting the edge in breaks for the last 15 min. Not seeing the effort needed from anyone not named Wagler....at least not at both ends.

Wagler is cold from deep tonight

Whole team became cold in this second half.

I want to see a replay of the Davis screen foul. Looked like he hardly made contact.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

UCLAs defense of praying we miss open shots is working well this half.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Cronin's message was clear. BE PHYSICAL. Most of their guys are in foul trouble. They are grabbing, pushing, elbowing, etc. We are and tired.

 

[LFOD]

Need Boswell back in asap

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Boswell back from the locker room

Hope he’s ok

Everything short.

Freaking clanking rim

 

[illiram]

Why do we have to hear about bowel pain, flu-like symptoms, etc with every single commercial? It's bad enough we blew a 23 point lead.

 

[JKR]

Is Bos on the bench?

 

[Heisenbobble]

I’m not sure this team makes the second weekend. Yeah, I said it.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Would rather not get that foul there because Drej had the board and you bet your a** they are going to call something even softer (and more devastating) on the other end.

 

[skyIdub]

I've decided to bring the same fan effort for the last 5 minutes of the game.

I'm mailing it in.

This game is stupid.

 

[Jimbo]

This is fun guys. Time to see what we’re made of.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Despite everything, it's still so freaking winnable.

Only if we find that pep in our step again. We’re like an inch slower / less intense, and that’s how you lose close games.
