Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[abchew2]

We are playing with fire losing these shooters.

damn coleman...

he's gottne bumped and hacked the last two plays though. Needs to not let it affect him

 

[illinipimp]

3 possessions in a row Shannon doesn’t get a touch. WTF

 

[SuperMetroid]

What will it take for them to call a foul on Iowa?

 

[GallopingGhost]

10 turnovers to 2. Many of them completely unforced.

A couple of them were probably fouls not called. Refs have Iowa ML

 

[OB positive]

We have to stop giving the ball away!

 

[Trueblue777]

It’s 4 on 5 on the offensive end with Rogers in the game. He gives us Nothing offensively

 

[Illini88]

11-2 turnovers. Not cool

 

[illiniguy24]

Simmer down boys….

 

[Coop70]

CH seems kinda gassed.

Hawkins needs to stop acting like he's the PG.

He's a very good defender and efficient shooter from deep. But he makes so many mistakes dribbling and gets tilted off the face of the planet.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Half court offense not great

Repeat of Purdue second half. Absolute garbage minus Shannon hitting a 3

How we can be so pitiful at times when we clearly are in control of our own fortune is beyond words.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Sanfort with 4 wide open transition 3s. Some off of made baskets. Our transition defense is awful. Lucky to still be up 9. Need to match up and find shooters!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

No one says "man on" in basketball it's infuriating. Cost us our comeback against Arkansas last year. If someone in nearing our player with his back to the incoming defender, scream that so he picks up the ball and passes it.

How no coach in the sport has implemented it is staggering. 60k in England can shout it simultaneously, 1 player on our team can't!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Hawkins and Domask need to pick their games up.

Yeah we are really trying to lose

Inability to step on opponent’s throat is discouraging

His ball handling is part of what makes him so valuable. He does need the refs to call a foul when his smaller defender just runs through him though.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Dimask n Quincy missing 5 footers is not good but the dumb turnovers are much more frustrating after a solid play by Ty he loses it and the Hawkins just throws it away! That is so careless and is just mental.

 

[hoopsfan47]

At this point, which Illini are going to score and defend and which will throw it into row 5 and miss big FTs? Sure need the former on the court. Time to believe and perform.

We’ve sucked at closing out leads all year.

I think a couple guys have a killer mentality on this team but it doesn’t seem to seep through everyone.

 

[abchew2]

This timeout needs to refocus us
