Game Thread: Illinois vs Sam Houston

[TonyClifton]

Dear Z,

You are really tall. Keep your hands up on defense and make guys score over you.

 

[ChiTown]

No paint presences at all.

 

[BDMAN]

We are the most layup missing team in the NCAA

 

[eas23]

Rough out there for Z too

He didn't even put his arms up on the inbounds play.

He is now on the bench.

 

[skyIdub]

This student announcer is cracking me up lmao

 

[Battle89]

What percentage of layups do you think Stoj ends up on his behind?

And what percentage of those (falls) are unnecessary

 

[Jon]

We're debuting a zero-paint defensive scheme. Maybe they'll grow tired of wide open dunks

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

First thing you thought when you turned on the TV vs tech......what an amazing atmosphere!!

Turn on tonight's game......is everyone there asleep?

 

[ChiTown]

We're debuting a zero-paint defensive scheme. Maybe they'll grow tired of wide open dunks

Or layups.

He didn't even put his arms up on the inbounds play.

He is now on the bench.

His regression this year is startling. It’s like he sat around and played video games the entire offseason.

 

[Epsilon]

LW wide open for a pass on both layup attempts…

 

[Deep]

Sam Houston is a pretty good little team

 

[AnnaMay]

 

[BBlock24]

Defense is still an issue I see.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

For sure...and was just wandering what the attendance might turn out to be for this titanic matchup with this historic hoops program.

I’m hoping there’s this little energy because everyone is pregaming for the football game tonight, but yeah, for anyone who entered Assembly Hall when it was the House of Paign this is a morgue

 

[FloridaMan]

I shudder to think what is going to happen in Cameron Tuesday. My God. Duke might put 150 on the board.

 

[Hoopster]

Sleepwalking through this one

 

[ChiTown]

Sorry this is uninspiring basketball from the beloved.

 

[Scoregasm]

Dook gonna destroy us next week.....

 

[Jon]

Woof.

 

[BoiseBaller]

This team looks….poorly coached.

 

[Epsilon]

Started the play a few seconds too late …ugh

 

[PopChampaign]

QC, pass the ball if you're not planning on throwing it up.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Not seeing that we learned anything from TT.
