Game Thread: Illinois at Marquette

[Pikeillinifan]

We’ll, not the start I was hoping for.

 

[King Snake]

Brutal game so far. We look awful and not ready.

 

[Chillinini]

Slow down a bit on offense, keep up the intensity on defense.

offense is sloppy. Turn it down a notch for now.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Frazier tripped over the dude's foot and they called a travel? Jeebus.

On the optimistic side, this will make the freshman ready for conf games when these bozos referees are officiating.

 

[ChiefIllinois]

5 Illinois players playing against 7 Marquette players.

Definitely missed a call or two already but this is mostly on us early

 

[Illini_Jack]

We're definitely playing sloppy but jeez, how many calls are going to go against us?

 

[GrayGhost77]

Ah, I see the B1G sent the "D" crew for this one. Should be fun (not).

 

[grantlab]

We look to really outmatch them on the offensive glass if we could just get shots up instead of turning the ball over. Not worried yet, but it’s the team’s first true road game, and it shows so far.

Up 7-5 in one of the worst stretches of basketball we've had so far this season, I'll take it.

This entire season's success hinges upon the ability/success of improvement in area of turnovers and FF shooting. Every other factor for success is a big plus. In that light, this game without Kofi will be of huge value.

This is the silliest first 5 minutes of a game in CBB history....

If we can take better care of the ball though we could SO take their lunch money. Lots of opportunities to push transitions.

 

[pruman91]

Really do not like lol

 

[skyIdub]

Lmao....and a 3 pt shot off the side of the back board.....this is a comedy show.

 

[Keisersose]

There are two people in this world that I would like to meet to tell them how awful they are. One is Larry Scirotto. The other is Rian Johnson.

 

[thehass]

So far looks like an 8th grade game. Need to settle down.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Alright get Ayo back in. We need a bucket.
Oh…yea.

 

[azillini1]

Horrible shooting and clumsy with the ball

 

[FloridaMan]

Turnovers....no good

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Just so sloppy here.

 

[BlueLeader]

Curbelo +/- is very bad right now

 

[skyIdub]

So many looks missed. Wide open and they don't pass. Not sure why.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

These zebras...omg

 

[Champaign88]

Curbelo has to get his head out of his…

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

That loose ball foul call on Payne was equine excrement

 

[Chad Fleck]

Payne has very little interest in catching the ball with his back to the basket. Why throw it to him?
