Game Thread: Illinois at Texas Tech

[LurkerintheOpen]

There's no leaders on this team. Gonna be an all time let down.

[wncillini]

We just dont look good. We are missing men. Getting pushed around.

 

[ChiefGritty]

4 of our 8 best players are hurt. Fun.

 

[PopChampaign]

Oh yea... we're for sure losing this game. Ball security is hard to watch. We're not as good as we thought. Alot to clean up.

 

[Iamgroot]

This is embarrassing im hearing it from my family in texas smh

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Hard not to, try dribbling the ball with guys body checking you.

I don't agree with that assessment. To me Tech is playing the good hard nosed D that we should be playing.

 

[…INI!]

No one can hold onto the ball

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

There’s just no way we can win this game with this many injuries.

 

[JKR]

20-13 on rebounds

 

[foby]

Yeah fans....foul

 

[ejam21]

Good night y’all. Team has zero heart. This is unreal.

LOL foh

ppl were saying this all year last year too

 

[Germanboxers]

We don’t seem to want to compete…we are so disconnected on defense it’s alarming.

 

[Oracle21]

We’re seeing the difference in not having Wagler and to a lesser extent Boswell. Those guys didn’t give up turnovers.

This current group if QC isn’t out there is a disaster

 

[Illini1977]

If this it what playing at a fast pace looks like don’t sign me up. Turnover and injuries every other possession. Don’t think I’ll stay up here in the east coast for the second half

 

[Illinifan533]

Yeah, not a good game, young team is getting thumped by a good team on the road, let's just try to make the 2nd half competitive. However, while the amount of injuries is unpredictable, there's a reason a lot of us were pining for another vet like Blackwell in the offseason. You want to have some protection for the young guys in early games like these.

 

[NASchamp]

ffs - we might not have enough players to even field a team at this point

 

[Illiniam1984]

Unacceptable!!!!

 

[foby]

Vaaks, AS and Tomi need to go win this

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Good home court advantage for TT

Imagine if we were able to muster even half of what this crowd does.....

 

[BBlock24]

And cannot make free throws.

 

[Illini1977]

Oh and missed FTs lolol this team has a long way to go with David and Jake being out.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Vaaks got mugged 4 times on that drive before they finally called the foul when he got to the lane.. just gotta accept they aren't gonna call it unless they are forced to.

 

[Jon]

Shooters can shoot, dribblers can't dribble, rebounders can rebound

 

[blife]

Whoever were our 11th and 12th men are now 6 and 7
