Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[TownieMatt]

My head says there isn't much Groce can do about this. My heart says burn it all.

 

[Stevegarbs]

This team just doesn't know how to play together. Too many lineups and rotation changes.

 

[Soxfreak64]

Tehe. What can you do but laugh at this? It's not even worth being upset over.

 

[ChiCityHoops34]

Run Malcolm or Nunn at point and play an extra wing I don't care what you do but Tate continuing to get extended minutes is virtually giving up.

No adjustments, let's just keep trying to same thing over and over since that seems to be working so well.

One of the worst first half's of illinois basketball I've ever seen. On par with the Penn St game of years past.

 

[freebird6]

I'm sick and tired of watching this team play. Horrible defense with worse offense.

Not much else to do but turn it off.

 

[Soxfreak64]

Effort baby. That near-rebound by Williams says it all.

Right there with you. Just turrible.

Honestly I'd rather watch our 07-08 junk team. At least Chester Frazier could knock down a shot...

 

[Bomb Squad 217]

Hill has played a terrible half.

 

[homesickalien]

I really don't know how you watch this season and see how this staff is the answer. It's embarrassing.

Haha go Illini!! All you can do is shake your head.

A lot to a little. Bad guys.

 

[Bomb Squad 217]

We went ice cold to close the half with Hill and Tate playing horribly at the end of the half.

Too much for them, too little for us.

Seriously, I am having a hard time figuring out if they are actually coaching or just saying things. Our offense is give it to one guy for the possession and have him try his best one on one move.

 

[illiniguy24]

What really sucks about all this, is that Bill Self and Jawun Evans are playing on ESPN2.

 

[Bailey]

Glad to see Mike Thorne back out there. He obviously has lots of jitters to work on on offense but was a beast on the glass as usual.

I sure hope there's an a-- chewing going on in the locker room right now. I also hope someone on the coaching staff is getting an earful for playing alex Austin while AJ and DJW sit on the bench

This..that was ridiculous.

Always wondered how they are on here and not just on ESPN website????

C'mon man, Alex Austin is clearly the answer to our future!

At least I'm watching this game from my couch. I wasted a Saturday to watch this garbage over the weekend. My trips to Champaign are over for the time being. I don't mind losing, but this just embarrassing.

Your right that, 60 seconds was THE difference in the first half....
