Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[Bigtex]

Hawkins in finally

No hawkins

 

[PassingBy]

50% of our attempts are 3s!!!!

 

[altgeld88]

How are we letting them shoot 60 pct?

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

I am so tired of guys passing up open looks to 1) dribble literally nowhere; or 2) pass to a weaker shooter.

 

[azillini1]

Frazier has 2 points and 2 shots. We need for him to get going, but lately it has been in the 2nd half. Would rather he shoot than DMW

 

[grantlab]

Why does it seem every 2nd 10 minute stretch of basketball games we score like 8 points?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

I'd love it if when we go for blocks, we don't also give a Terp an open dunk on an OR.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

DMW must be on a personal quest to get as many of those as he possibly can for the season. Lol.

A perfect legacy for Damonte. From now on, all jumping out of bounds-fire the ball off the opponent plays shall be known as “Damontes”. A combination of hustle, basketball IQ, and instigating of hostility. Perfect.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Payne has to stop trying to block every shot. He is leaving his man open for dunks.

 

[azillini1]

No hawkins

He has 5 points

Too many short guards....they have a significant height advantage that the little guys can do little to stop....of course Trent is an exception, but not always. They can shoot 6-8 footers over our guards all night.

 

[HailtotheChief]

We need to watch n this game! Pick up a game on Purdue and either MSU or Wisc.
Win these last 4 minutes and the first 4 of the second half!

 

[Calillini]

Ok, time for Belo, but the rules are NO SHOTS until he has notched 5 assists.
We are just too stagnant without him

 

[grantlab]

The last time we outscored an opponent in the “2nd quarter” of a basketball game was St. Francis.

 

[hoopsfan47]

To me, Goode is a very important cog to any Illini victory. Hope he is OK,

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Md bench has 0 points in 19 minutes. They’re going to wear out.

 

[InDaAZ]

Did the announcer just say "Bosmands-Verdonk is every bit as big as Kofi Cockburn"???

Like, WTF

Yes, he did. And who are you going to believe… him or everyone else’s lyin’ eyes?

 

[illinitiger]

JFP= JUST FEED PLUMMER

 

[hoopsfan47]

JFP= JUST FEED PLUMMER

Good by me.

 

[altgeld88]

DMWs head has not arrived in Maryland yet.

 

[Chillinini]

Sloppy

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Damonte cannot be making plays like that as a ninth year senior.

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

This is one of our worst defensive efforts in years. Every shot seems to be easy for Maryland.

 

[jason88cubs]

Our defense. Wow

 

[HailtotheChief]

Omg, Lazy passes get you beat!
