Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[DeeIL89]

Mirk had a mismatch on him with Mills. Give him the ball.

 

[FloridaMan]

We're just killing them at the basket

 

[aaeismacgychel]

It helps that we let them have wide open 3s all the time

I mean we really haven't... Just because they're making them doesn't mean they were open or in rhythm

 

[hoopsfan47]

A stop and a triple on the other end would be good.

 

[DeeIL89]

Keep attacking the paint.

 

[Retro62]

They can’t stay with us inside.

 

[skyIdub]

Is Jake MF Davis the only one that understands the cut into the paint when the double team comes??
Seriously.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

LOL. They call that on Wagler after what they have been doing to him all game? Ridiculous.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Woof... That's a cheapie on Keaton.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ok first 4 and won. Lets do it again.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Hamer on the defensive scouting and strategy today?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I mean we really haven't... Just because they're making them doesn't mean they were open or in rhythm

Agree. Sometimes, great offense gets the best of great defense. Just keep making them take tough shots.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Mirk has just playing outstanding! Have to keep attacking the paint! Tyler, show me you really are built to leverage advantages.

 

[LuckyIllini]

4-18 from behind the arc. DRIVE THE BALL

 

[Illinisnake]

Woof... That's a cheapie on Keaton.

He literally can’t guard anyone right now. Liability on defense

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Struggling to beat Maryland is not a good sign

Connecticut yesterday at Marquette has entered the chat.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Agreed. AS has trouble when D is physical on him. They steal the ball or block his shots.

He relies on getting to the line and he shpuldve but they are lettung them play/hack.

 

[Kernal12]

We are playing with fire if we let this team hang around late. Coit and Mills can make circus threes, need to extend this to double digits now.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Woof... That's a cheapie on Keaton.

He gets beat off the dribble every time…

 

[BWBW]

Agree with keep attacking the paint.

 

[CDRUSN]

Keaton's 3 point shooting has been way off these past few games. He's contributing in other ways, but we are going to need him to be a threat from deep in the post season. Meanwhile, Mirk is our leading scorer, rebounder, defender, and tied for lead in assists today. I love the energy he brings.

 

[SuperMetroid]

We’re getting anything we want on offense. String together a couple of stops and we’re good

 

[BoiseBaller]

We are letting their good shooters get wide open looks from three. Need to fight through screens.

This. We keep going under. Gotta play big boy basketball and fight through.

 

[Butters]

I mean we really haven't... Just because they're making them doesn't mean they were open or in rhythm

The first two of the second half were pretty wide open

 

[DeeIL89]

Tomi can go off in the paint just like Mirk if we keep attacking the basket. Maryland has no answer defending us in the paint so far. Like that Kylan is driving to the basket as well as Jake.
