Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[Illini1221]

Tate has been okay against lesser teams, but he's got absolutely no business guarding Trimble or any of these guards. Give Tejon a shot at least.

 

[Illini1221]

Some of the worst basketball I have watched in awhile. My eyes are bleeding

Since WV

 

[WestIllini]

I mean if we can somehow get it to within 10 by halftime we've got a shot. However, I'd be shocked if Maryland isn't up 15-20 points by then.

 

[GortTheRobot]

Profound statement imminent...I am tired of sucking at basketball.

 

[SescIllini]

I'm not at practice, but these substitute patterns are confusing. Can I get some DJW to improve our slow footedness? Is Kipper really that bad not to see time? We are making Maryland look much better than they are.

 

[IlliniReb]

Either Cowen is an all-american, or we have the worst defense in the big 10.

Ding ding ding

 

[txillini11]

I have played against Tate at the ARC and you can't tell he starts for a Big Ten basketball program. There are people there better than he is.

 

[Trakis]

Abrams is in his 6th year, everyone.

 

[GortTheRobot]

Our defensive strategy seems to be "maybe they'll miss."

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

Screw it, throw Kipper and Lucas out there, can't be much worse than this embarrassment.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Hill was lost on defense.

 

[oldman]

how can the best shooter on their team get that open on a kick out.

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

"Nice sequence there" what because Hill made and iso jumper? We still didn't run any offense and can't defend at all

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Tate lol

 

[TCTORNADO]

Wild shot by Tate

 

[illinoisfan11]

Tate. Wtf?!?

 

[SescIllini]

We are in deep trouble if we are relying on Tate to drive against 3 players to score.

 

[gbfn4life]

I will never understand Groce' rotations and the lack of adjustments. Tate and Abrams aren't getting it done, Play Lucas. We need to get longer and more athletic, play DJ. Teach Thorne how to pass. Teach the entire team how to close out and rotate properly on defense. The zone has never worked and Tate has zero offense and barely any defense. Tough to watch

 

[LouAlcinder]

Why is Morgan out???

 

[Berg88]

See, what Tate just did there is better than a turnover for reasons.

 

[illini8507]

Lol, Tate has played almost this entire half...

 

[illinoisfan11]

I don't see the harm in playing Tejon. He can't do more harm than Tate is doing.

 

[Give it to Greene]

We get it guys, don't play Tate and insult Groce. How about we talk about what we need to do better? The refs? Losing is bad enough....this thread gets so negative so quick it's annoying

Want to talk about what we could do better ?
How about play D1 basketball...
How about defend...
How about run an offense that actually scores points...
How about . . .

 

[winorlosewestillbooze]

22% from the field...lmao

 

[IlliniMed]

Don't trust ou freshman pg. it's too risky and we might lose this game lol
